Perseverance Rover’s Descent and Touchdown on Mars (Official NASA Video)

 A Michigan couple tied balloons to the mailbox and set out a chalkboard with a hand-drawn sign announcing their baby shower on Saturday. To mark the occasion, the expectant parents fired a celebratory cannon as the small party stood outside in the snow in the backyard.

But the plan went horribly wrong when the gunpowder inside the cannon exploded, fracturing its metal frame, launching shrapnel into the air, and killing a family friend.

At this point, the more exciting surprise at gender reveal parties is going to be who makes it out alive.
