NASA's Mars helicopter soars past 1-mile mark in 10th flight over Red Planet
It was Ingenuity's highest flight yet, too.
NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity has flown its first mile on the Red Planet.
The small chopper surpassed the 1-mile (1.6 km) mark of its total flight distance on Saturday (July 24) when soared over a rocky region called "Raised Ridges" at its Jezero Crater home. The sortie was the 10th and highest trip yet for Ingenuity, which arrived on Mars with NASA's Perseverance rover in February. Ingenuity's first flight occurred in April.

Flight 10 was the most challenging yet for Ingenuity, with 10 different waypoints for the helicopter to hit as it flew over its "Raised Ridges" target. It reached a maximum altitude of 40 feet (12 meters), a new record height, and flew about 310 feet (95 m). From take off to landing, the entire flight lasted 165.4 seconds. That's just under 3 minutes.
You ever notice that the symbol uses the iconic Psalm 22 red worm font , NASA red, Pantone color 179 (= venahafoch hu)?
The A is without its crossbar, alluding to a rocket's nose cone/crew capsule.
Of course the word "MARS" includes an A standing next to the M, but the emblem representing the hard-charging little-engine-that-could takes the changes even further by removing the scarlet letter A entirely.
In place of the scarlet letter A stands Ingenuity - Ginny for short, which is typically a nickname for a woman named... Virginia.
Now *that's* ingenuity! It's the very soul of the Messiah, who is on a mission from God.
Ingenuity. I saw it in a movie, just like everybody else. Specifically in the *bar* scene:
Gimme some lovin!
Okay. We gotta figure out something these people like and fast.

Rawhide in A!

A country mile is a deceptively long distance, an extremely long way. The idea behind a country mile is the fact that most country roads are not in a straight line. Instead, roads in the country tend to meander up and down and all around. This makes it seem as if a mile in the country takes longer to cross than a straight mile in the city. In addition, with the long distances between landmarks that are common in the country, rural people tend to underestimate actual distances whereas urban people tend to overestimate actual distances.

Look, this is all serious business. American Man was not only the first man to walk on the Moon, but he was the very first man to walk on Earth!
Come on, this is a no-brainer, because who else listens to his wife?!
