Some great pics from Mars showing the crashed Beagle probe and back shell from Perseverance smashed on the surface, among a few other bits and pieces that have smashed, crashed or otherwise littered Mars

Sensationalist headline. But, yeah, most of this "junk" will be historical sites someday. The difference between history and junk is a fine line. Roman junk all over the place ;)

I agree, I think the final resting spot of Ingenuity will be a sacred historical spot and well visited by tourists in 200 years! Or at least, I hope it is respected as such.

Bold of you to assume humanity will still exist in 200 years
