| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Tech Stuff, a production from iHeartRadio. |
| 0:12.0 | Hey there and welcome to Tech Stuff, I'm your host Jonathan Strickland, I'm an executive |
| 0:16.6 | producer with iHeartRadio and I love all things tech and on February 18th, 2021, the Perseverance |
| 0:25.6 | Rover from NASA touched down on Mars successfully. |
