In these crappy times, it's important to have some good news from time-to-time.
NASA/JPL's engineering excellence is something to be proud of as Americans.
Amazing pictures. Thanks.
A helo that went 14 flights without maintenance? It’ll need tech reps soon.

Amazing. As low pressure as the atmosphere was a few months ago, I guess it is now even lower with seasonal changes on Mars. The NASA team was able to successfully ramp up the RPMs on the helicopter rotors to compensate.
Ginny triumphs again!
The 2 Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, were supposed to last 90 days. Opportunity lasted 12-13 YEARS. HAH! When we do it right, we do it way right!
