And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

NASA's Mars Perseverance Rover is about to drop a drone on Mars - Ingenuity helicopter will be the first flying machine on another planet and carries a piece of the Wright Flyer from 1903.
I have been in awe ever since I read about the piece of the Wright Flyer. History is important. It is important to me and should be important to everybody. REAL history that is.
What the hell, jbgray millions of people believe paper and cloth masks will stop Covid virus particles so why shouldn't they get on board with the Mars lander thing?
Perfect crystal clear picture (very cool indeed), yet they can't get anything more than a grainy shot of a bank robber or murderer or getaway vehicle here on Earth.
The quality of NASA photography of Mars and the Moon has been going backwards since 1969. They deliberately pixilate and degrade the images they release to the public so it is impossible to see any real detail. This (probably fake) propaganda shot is one of the clearest they have released in decades.
The atmosphere of Mars is about 100 times thinner than Earth's, how is that thing gonna fly?
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought. Good goober mint spending right there.

I'm impressed that someone thought to include the piece of the Wright Bros flyer! History IS important!
DeleteOh boy, I haven't seen a rock covered landscape in about 5 minutes now.
ReplyDeleteI can't fathom that people believe this garbage.

DeleteHow do aircraft fly in the stratosphere? The gravity is also less.
ReplyDeleteAnd if a pig flies, it's not very nice to complain it doesn't get very high.

ReplyDeleteSome amazing technology and mind-bending math!

DeleteThe United States is the only country on earth to land a nuclear powered aircraft carrier on Mars!
