Dare Mighty Things Parachute Umbrella
A unique umbrella featuring the Mars Perseverance parachutes' secret encoded message to be brave: Dare Mighty Things. An inspiring gift to yourself or a loved one to be reminded that anything is possible.
When we were kids we took an umbrella and imagined it was a parachute. So when NASA engineer, Ian Clark, surprised the world with a secretive, yet beautiful, parachute design for the Mars Perseverance rover, we just knew that we needed to make an umbrella!
On February 18th, 2021 NASA's Perseverance rover landed on Mars with the aid of a parachute. Not only did this parachute open when the spacecraft was going at a crazy speed of 940 mph (1,512 kph) it also contained a secret encoded message.
It didn't take people on the internet long to decipher the message: Dare Mighty Things - 34 11 58 N 118 10 31 W. One of the mottos of and location of the Jet Propulsion Lab.
