NASA Mars Helicopter: Flight 72 Status Update

[Paranormalis]

​

On Jan. 18, NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter executed its 72nd flight at the Red Planet. The flight was designed as a quick pop-up vertical flight to check out the helicopter’s systems, following an unplanned early landing during its previous flight. Data Ingenuity sent to the Perseverance rover (which acts as a relay between the helicopter and Earth) during the flight indicates it successfully climbed to its assigned maximum altitude of 40 feet (12 meters). During its planned descent, communications between the helicopter and rover terminated early, prior to touchdown. The Ingenuity team is analyzing available data and considering next steps to reestablish communications with the helicopter.

I wonder why this never makes big news? That's cool, but said that it stopped working. They need to go up there and fix these things! We're dumping some expensive equipment on Mars.

Seriously. We're done with Earth so we are polluting another planet. We'll be hauling our trash up there next.

Makes me wonder if there's 'Earth Bar' wrappers somewhere buried in
an ancient Martian cave.



(Mars Bar....Eat yer heart out!)

With all the natural disaster going on around the globe,
I sometimes wonder if the Earth is done with us. (?)

Earth would recycle us if we let her! It makes you wonder if Earth is a sentient being.

I have long believed our Earth is very much a living organism.

Have you ever seen the movie/documentary called 'Fantastic Fungi' ??

Think Neural Net....Likened to that of a brain.
