Let's talk about the "7 minutes of Terror", the steps that Perseverance will undertake to go from moving almost 20,000 km/ hr to gently touching down on the surface of Mars in a matter of only 7 or so minutes. Perseverance will land for real on February 18th.

A quick shout out to Joe Barnard, hobby rocketeer extraordinaire, and some images used from NASA.
