“Early yesterday morning, 10 milliseconds before schedule—the NASA Mars probe Atlas V 541 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, and performed its initial flight sequences flawlessly, beginning its seven- month mission to Mars. (Landing date, Feb. 18, 2021). The other two Mars spacecraft are likewise en route—the Chinese and U.A.E. launches, both earlier in July. The U.S. payload includes the Perseverance rover and the Ingenuity mini-helicopter.

Statesman-economist Lyndon LaRouche provided the principles and policies for that over a lifetime of working on programs all over the world.

A Note To Readers
Infrastructure is what provides the foundation for not only a productive economy that drives the uplifting of the entire population’s living standards and that of future generations, but, as some people miss, includes not just water, power and transportation, but also science, health and education.
This week’s report covers them all.
In this week’s report:
First a few words and images on the current drought.
Then water infrastructure is reported on with two articles — one from California and one from the Congress. The U.S. Drought Monitor for California and Oregon are included.
“Worse Than the Depression” reports on the announcement today that the U.S. economy posted its worst drop on record.
Today, the biggest, most sophisticated Mars rover ever built, Perseverance, blasted off for Mars as part of an ambitious, long-range project to bring the first Martian rock samples back to Earth to be analyzed for evidence of ancient life. Our coverage includes an article on the two month ago U.S. manned space ship that went to the Space Station.
The Feature this week is “Covid-19 and the Schools.” It begins with this introduction: “The following is the first few paragraphs of a draft document that examines what will be required to re-open the schools for America’s children.”
