NASA scientists have to wear red-blue 3D glasses to pilot the Mars rover as the advanced goggles don’t work at home

NASA sent nearly all 17,000 of its employees home in mid-March after multiple workers at its facilities tested positive for the coronavirus. And like the millions of other people now working from home, NASA’s teams have had to adapt.
