Ingenuity: Was it a bird strike…?
Someday Ingenuity will be in the Smithsonian.
Poor slim stubbed his toe and fell over.
This first report on the Japanese lunar lading mishap was like saying "The Titanic was right where it was supposed to be and was in a perfect configuration … WHEN IT STRUCK THE ICEBERG AND SANK"!
Why not balloons on Mars? Big, with solar panels and motors. Not from NASA.
I think they should use the broken blade to shake the craft and see if they can clear off the solar panel.
China with a knock off (insert item here) weird….
Thanks NSF team.
One day engineers will understand the concept of a 360 degree wrap around solar panel.
That's "A-ka-tsu-ki". ("Dawn")
Congrats and amazing for sure. Next one be dropping seedlings to terraform I hope
Love the earrings.
Makes zero sense for ingenuity to have a damaged rotor blade and to not have crashed. 99.99% don't believe it was a manufacturing defect, so what NASA? Drive the rover over to it.? They probably won't because they flew it over sand dunes, so we have to take their word for it.
Gravity wave detector in Space 👍
Seems like a really long wait for something that should already been in space.
Hopefully a large laser triangle isn't a undesirable sign that aliens passing by might misinterpret 👽🛸.
Screeching noises.
most annoying voice ever on utube

I hope we get some more data from JPL about the cause of Ginny's loss of comms/power(?) during its last flight. While we always knew it would come to an end sometime, I'm going to miss the casual "well, yeah, we broke another record" note from NASA.
SLIM mission went just as expected. It's just cosplaying that loading screen from KSP "Mun or bust!". Most expensive cosplay in history, but what else did you expect from the cradle of the cosplay itself?
Its been reported, Dragonfly bot may not get to it's destination due to cost cuts as usual. (sigh) Hopefully, it will get chance to fly.
I've always been a believer that we put man on the moon multiple times in the 60's and 70's. So apparently back in those days they could launch a rocket and put a lander on the moon within a few days. But now in today's current space programs, it takes months to put an unmanned lander on the moon?! Why?! This now has me questioning the actual moon landings of the late 60's and 70's!
Thanks Elysia and NSF team! Farewell Ingenuity, you have run the race, and kept the course, rest in well deserved peace.
👀🚀👍….🖖
Voyagers and Martian rovers show just how effective money invested in science can actually be. Aren’t the Voyagers approaching 50 years???? Truly amazing….
Fund to have Ingenuity returned to earth, it deserves a museum spot.
Iran in space is bad for the world
Aww sad 😢 it was so cute 12:15
