'The Perseverance rover sent back a message saying it was only accompanying its daughters to Mars':

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9275289/Twitter-goes-frenzy-Ted-Cruz-Cancun-trip-memes.html

Texas Senator Ted Cruz sparked a flurry of memes on Thursday after being caught on a trip to Cancun
He was pictured flying to Mexico despite Texas being in crisis with 500,000 still without power
Cruz was compared to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and his trip to a private beach in 2017
Senator Bernie Sanders and his famous inauguration mittens were also photoshopped in
Cruz and his suitcase were doctored into historical images such as the moon landing and Tiananmen Square
Cruz abandoned the trip on Thursday morning amid the backlash
