NEWS INTRO

-------------------------

In today's news, NASA's mars rover has made breathable oxygen for the first time. An instrument on Nasa's Perseverance rover on Mars has made oxygen from the planet's carbon dioxide atmosphere. The oxygen generation was performed by a toaster-sized unit in the rover called Moxie. It made 5 grams of oxygen which is what an astronaut on Mars would need to breathe for around 10 minutes. NASA thinks that whenever humans start going to Mars, the astronauts would carry scaled up versions of Moxie with them instead of carrying oxygen from Earth. On this day in history, in 1889, the Oklahoma land rush officially starts at noon as thousands of Americans race for new, unclaimed land.
