Tianwen 3 vs NASA! Who Will Bring Mars Back First

The race to bring Mars to Earth is officially on—and China’s Tianwen-3 is going head-to-head with NASA’s multi-phase mission. With an ambitious plan to drill two meters deep into the Martian surface and return with at least 500 grams of samples by 2031, China is attempting the boldest single-mission sample return ever attempted. Meanwhile, NASA and ESA are working on a slower, multi-launch strategy that may fall behind.

In this episode, we break down China’s Tianwen-3 architecture, how it compares to NASA’s Perseverance plan, and what this rivalry means for science, geopolitics, and the future of life-hunting missions on the red planet.

Will China make history before NASA even lifts off?
