NASA scientists working from home are continuing to pilot the Mars Curiosity rover with a little help from a piece of technology that would be at home in a 1980s movie theater.

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.
