@65dBnoise Somebody on Twitter actually had a good question: Why dropping those containers on various locations? Why does perceveranve not keep them until the return rover meets up with it? #mars #perseverance #samplereturn

Because they want to reduce the risk of being unable to deliver ANY of them in case something happens to Perseverance. They have explained that dropping the tubes is a great relief to the project team.
