Perseverance landed near crater Jezero, named after a tiny municipality in Bosnia (~1100 population). It's not the only Mars crater named after tiny towns around the world, but the fact that jezero means lake in many Slavic languages had a lot to do with this particular selection. There's also four valleys near the crater named after Bosnian rivers (Neretva, Sava, Pliva, Una). Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is that the space community is definitely thinking more globally nowadays and that it absolutely works. We went from no particular interest in astronomy amongst general population to meticulously following Perseverance's every step.
