Is There Life on Mars ?
NASA ’ s latest rover has touched down , and it ’ s hard not to think supply chain should share some of the credit
There are complex supply chains , and then there is the Perseverance Rover . NASA ’ s latest mission to search for extra-terrestrial life touched down on Martian soil in February , and though Hollywood ’ s little green men have been ruled out , we may have evidence of complex organic material in the coming years . As the first hi-definition images of Mars were beamed back to our blue dot , it was hard not to think of the web of suppliers , manufacturers and procurement specialists who ultimately made the journey a reality - and realise how critical supply chains are to the modern age of discovery .
Back on Earth , and supply chains are saving the world . The vaccination effort is now well underway , with 270m + doses already administered . In the US , President Joe Biden has stood by his word to back supply chain with an executive order to create a more resilient and secure supply chain for critical and essential goods . Biden hopes his order will also bring greater stability in jobs , domestic manufacturing and closer ties with economic allies . Already it has helped speed up the process of securing enough COVID-19 shots for every adult in the country . The administration expects to have this in place by May , two months earlier than previously forecast .
