| In this screenshot from NASA's highlight reel of the Perseverance rover landing on Mars, the rover touches down.
Colorado aerospace companies were part of that mission to Mars. Lockheed Martin Space Systems built the aeroshell containing the car-sized Perseverance at its Jefferson County complex.
The machine will travel to the Jezero Crater to explore where there was once water. On it's journey, Perseverance will capture photos of the planet's surface. One of the first pictures it captured and transmitted back to Earth is at the right.

Montrose's push for affordable housing dates back to at least 2016, when a household community survey, featuring input from the community, revealed multi-family housing was one of the highest priorities.
Montrose murder case: In 2007, a teenager was arrested — and ultimately pleaded guilty to attempted murder — after attacking another student at Montrose High School.
At the time, information about the crime, including the teen's name, were readily available through public records.
This past December, an 11-year-old was accused of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Karmen Keefauver, 62. Details are sparse, including his identity.
That's because the law pertaining to juvenile suspects and offenders changed in 2017. Where before in Colorado, a juvenile's name was releasable to the public and media depending on the nature of the crime he or she was accused of committing and whether a deadly weapon was used, there are now more restrictions on what the custodians of those records can release.
