"The first scientific focus of NASA's Perseverance rover is a rock named "Máaz" – the Navajo word for "Mars." The rover's team, in collaboration with the Navajo Nation Office of the President and Vice President, has been naming features of scientific interest with words in the Navajo language." 

How dope is that? Most people may not see it this way and I'm probably the only person to actually think of this, but what an awesome apology. Like, sorry we took this planet from you and all your land and accidentally killed you with a disease but here's an entire planet where we're naming features in your language.
