Hot Wheels Perseverance lands in stores ahead of rover on Mars

NASA's Mars Perseverance rover is on course to land — on toy store shelves.

The six-wheeled robotic explorer, which remains on track to touch down on Mars on Feb. 18, has been reproduced by Mattel as a Hot Wheels toy. The release of the 1:64th-scale vehicle has been timed to precede the real rover's landing on the red planet so fans of both the mission and the miniatures can reenact the event as it happens.
