Conclusion: Write about what you have learned.

I learnt heaps of new information from the tables. I really like learning about space, but I didn't know that much information. It was really fun and cool to blog about this topic. I mostly learnt about the parts of the Mars 2020 rover. I was astonished by the cameras of rover Mars 2020.
