Ingenuity's Second Flight As Seen by Perseverance: NASAs Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its left Mastcam-Z camera. Mastcam-Z is a pair of cameras located high on the rovers mast. This is one still frame from a sequence captured by the camera while taking video. This image was acquired on Apr. 22, 2021. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS. Download image
The small rotorcrafts horizons were expanded on its second flight.
NASAs Ingenuity helicopter successfully completed its second Mars flight on April 22 the 18th sol, or Martian day, of its experimental flight test window. Lasting 51.9 seconds, the flight added several new challenges to the first, which took place on April 19, including a higher maximum altitude, longer duration, and sideways movement.

For this second flight test at “Wright Brothers Field,” Ingenuity took off again at 5:33 a.m. EDT (2:33 a.m. PDT), or 12:33 p.m. local Mars time. But where Flight One topped out at 10 feet (3 meters) above the surface, Ingenuity climbed to 16 feet (5 meters) this time. After the helicopter hovered briefly, its flight control system performed a slight (5-degree) tilt, allowing some of the thrust from the counter-rotating rotors to accelerate the craft sideways for 7 feet (2 meters).

They’re already logging Mars.
Maybe the price of lumber will come down.
Earth First!
We’ll log the other planets later!
You can log Uranus.
Not sure we’re looking for that sort of lumber.
What happens if some Martian with a shot gun takes it down?
Big corporate fast food interests are behind this. Getting the inside track on future deliveries to Martians.
What’s fascinating is the white patches some called footsteps that appear in all those photos.
Go big or go home! The #MarsHelicopter successfully completed its 2nd flight, capturing this image with its black-and-white navigation camera. It also reached new milestones of a higher altitude, a longer hover and lateral flying.
"Helicopter parent"...
Gen 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved [hovered] upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light [ohr]: and there was light [ohr].
Go big
(The Torah begins with a big bet.)
"Ohr"
Go home
(The letter bet [בית] is a house.)
In this case, a big house. Numerically, a large bet = 2000 (the letter bet = 2, but it is also used to represent 2000). For a primary example, the thousands in year dates.
"United States of America" [ארצות הברית של אמריקה] = 2000 [ב']
"The earth" is ha-aretz, land that includes but is not limited to planet Earth.
Ingenuity's airfield (recently named Wright Brothers Field) is a square measuring 10m x 10m, which is 1 are:
The are was the basic unit of area when the metric system was first decreed in France in 1795. (Brittanica)
Today is Earth Day. The official poster actually depicts the Sun. In a deep orange-red. Making it look like Mars:
The three Ys kids.
There is one word in the English language that contains 3 Ys:
Examples:
Syzygy (astronomy), a collinear configuration of three celestial bodies
Syzygy, a concept in the philosophy of Vladimir Solovyov denoting "close union"
Syzygy, in biology, the pairing of chromosomes during meiosis
A big bet:
"Dare Mighty Things"

...capturing this image with its black-and-white navigation camera:
4. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness:
5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night; And there was evening and there was morning, one day:
So this is what evil white men are up to? :0)
Are we certain that’s not a Kamov Ka-52?
I was a little disappointed when I found out that this thing can only fly for 1 minute tops.
