purseverance

Refers to an unwillingness to give up on your efforts to mooch off of someone (in other words, to get him to "open his purse" for you).
Sometimes the term "purseverance" can have a somewhat opposite meaning, as well --- it can also refer to the ongoing efforts that an overly-trusting person who actually HAS "opened his purse" to a neighborhood moocher feels compelled to maintain in an attempt to get said deadbeat to pay him back as he'd promised he would.

Perseverance Rover

The NASA perserverance rover is a rover that used MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment) to generate a lot of oxygen (122g) from carbon dioxide by splitting it with a catalyst insulated by aerogel.

During the process of separating the oxygen atom, the temperature rises to 798° C. In this regard, MOXIE has received a gold coating and an aerogel. The presence of heat resistant materials ensures that heat is retained inside the tool. The Perseverance rover extracted oxygen from carbon dioxide 16 times, leaving carbon monoxide as a byproduct. Oxygen is good not just for future astronauts to breathe, but also to fuel rockets.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
