Why didn't NASA think of a main booster that could turn around and land on a floating platform to be re-used? NASA is old inside box thinking. Musk and others are the future. No, I"m not a rocket scientist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.
Is he a chef? I heard that there are some job openings. :-)
I wonder if they are taking bets on whether or not it survives its first flight.
is it going to find the American flag that Sheila Jackson Lee spoke about?
Does Mars have a wall and a heavy shelf? I am the expert at wedging a small drone right between them if NASA needs me for that.
It has the solar system’s largest extinct volcano...........

Wouldn’t a drone be more practical?
Too heavy..................
Just like the Wright Brothers. Except for billions of public funding and decades of scientific knowledge and engineering to draw on. Except for that, exactly the same!
I'm convinced that a reason for removing real history is because they're going to leave these folks behind and can't have them knowing about the real world outside. Just like their ancestors, if they see or hear something modern, they'll be told it's magic.
Mars has such a thing atmosphere...
” The body of Ingenuity is about the size of a softball with four spindly legs sticking out. Two sets of blades, each about 4 feet from tip to tip, spin in opposite directions. It weighs just 4 pounds and stands about one and a half feet high. “
4 lb in a softball makes it pretty dense.
How is it powered and how long will it last ??? What payload ???
Will it ‘plug in’ to the bigger ‘home’ unit ???
.
Honest question: Does Mars have an atmosphere? Is it dense enough to support aerodynamics; wing lift, propeller thrust?
“NASA Mars Helicopter Will Be Red Planet’s ‘Wright Brothers Moment’”
Um, no it won’t. Biggest dumbass thing I’ve ever heard out of NASA. Must be a Zoomer.
Read the article. All the info you want and more.
The mission is scheduled to launch on July 20
MARSHELICOPTER, named
INGENUITY -- noun: the quality of being clever, original, and inventive.
It's the little Can-DO engine that could. So many positive waves. Can + DO
If it works, the small helicopter, named Ingenuity, will open a new way for future robotic explorers to get a bird’s-eye view of Mars and other worlds:
If it works?! Based on the information flooding out of this article, it's already arrived.
Discover the unknown. Light bulb moments, the spirit of revelation:
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 a wind from God moved (hovered) upon the face of the waters:
3. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light:
ingenuity (n.)
1590s, "honor, nobility," from Middle French ingénuité "quality of freedom by birth" and directly from Latin ingenuitatem (nominative ingenuitas) "condition of a free-born man," figuratively "frankness, generosity, noble-mindedness," from ingenuus "frank, candid, noble" (see ingenuous).
Etymologically, this word belongs to ingenuous, but in 17c. ingenious "intellectual, talented" and ingenuous so often were confused (even by Shakespeare) that ingenuity in English has come to mean only "capacity for invention or construction." That sense of this word is first attested 1640s; the word for it in Middle English was ingeniosity (the native word is craftiness). French ingénuité, meanwhile, has evolved through "natural and graceful freedom of manners" to "graceful simplicity" (compare ingenue); for the sense "ingeniousness," French uses ingéniosité.

1590s, "noble in nature, high-minded; honorably straightforward," from Latin ingenuus "with the virtues of freeborn people, of noble character, frank, upright, candid," originally "native, freeborn," literally "born in (a place)," from in- "in" (from PIE root *en "in") + PIE *gen(e)-wo-, suffixed form of root gene- "to give birth, beget, produce" (see genus). Sense of "artless, innocent" is 1670s, via evolution from "honorably open, straightforward," to "innocently frank." Related: Ingenuously; ingenuousness.

No wonder nobody goes there.
Thanks. I should have read it before inquiring. Verrrrry interrrrresting.
Figured you’d like it.
Yes it has an atmosphere, about equal to the top of Mt. Everest............but less O2..............
