MarsHelicopter’s first flight of 2022! (Ingenuity's Flight 19)

NASAJPL ^ | February 8, 2022

[Ezekiel]

After some dusty weather delays, it’s time to celebrate the #MarsHelicopter’s first flight of 2022! The rotorcraft flew for the 19th time on the Red Planet, soaring for 99.98 seconds over ~62 meters.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

This seems like an expensive hobby. Why don’t they just fly their model helicopters here in AZ?

[Wayne07]

We can spend the money adventuring on Mars, or funneling it to social welfare programs and fake infrastructure. I’ll take Mars.

I’d like some other options please...

Now that you quantify it that way, it seems like a jobs program to allow Gov’t employees to pursue their hobbies of flying helicopters on mars and taking space photos. I agree.

The Oral Torah states that King David wrote this Psalm in foreknowledge of the time of Hadassah, also known as Queen Esther.

A Psalm during the time of Esther and for all time - Psalm 22:2

We met by chance and I knew at a glance
That I'd found my destiny
Now I want to carry you off and marry you
If you will agree

And I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And darling, never ever make you cry
Yes I'll give you love
That's above and beyond the call of love
And love's something that money can't buy

Moses’ Birth & Passing (1393 and 1273 BCE)

Moses was born in Egypt on the 7th of Adar of the year 2368 from creation (1393 BCE). According to one opinion, the year of Moses’ birth was a “leap year”, and he was born in the first Adar.

https://www.chabad.org/calendar/view/day.asp?tdate=2/8/2022

Re flight 19, Feb 8, 2022:

“This flight will take the helicopter out of South Séítah basin, across a dividing ridge and up to the main plateau. The target is near the landing site of Flight 8. Images taken during Flight 9 were used to select a safe zone. The flight is another in a series to return to Wright Brothers Field. This gradual approach is due to lack of large landing sites in the area and lower atmospheric density in the summer, which requires higher rotor speeds and more power. At the end of the flight, the helicopter will turn nearly 180 degrees to aim the color camera toward the river delta for future flights.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingenuity_(helicopter)#List_of_flights

180 degrees.

You should keep in mind that the Chinese and the Russians also have a, “jobs program” pursuing control of space and the development of technologies such as; hypersonic missiles, satellite recon, mapping, weather forecasting, scientifically directed farming, communications technologies, materials development, medical therapeutics...In fact the list is extensive for commercially available concepts that were developed through NASA and are making modern life safer and better!

What lies ahead from the focusing of some of our brightest minds in a challenging exploration? I hope to be around to see more of it!

[Ezekiel]

Have you ever noticed that "the Mars Helicopter" [מסוק המאדים ] = 306?

That's just how it is called on Ingenuity's wikipedia page, the first two words in fact.

Popping over to the Torah, you can see that the sum first appears in Genesis 1:2, "v'ruach Elohim"...

2. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep; And a wind from God moved upon the face of the waters:

והארץ היתה תהו ובהו וחשך על פני תהום *ורוח אלהים* מרחפת על פני המים

There you can see that the next word or phrase that = 306 is in verse 21: עוף כנף

Some people might see that info, but then insist that it is all just a coincidence.

It's not like Rashi compared the Ruach Elohim to a dove or anything:

יום קולומבוס

= 306

Some might be inclined to smirk about the "and"-vav, but in modern Hebrew, "Elohim" is spelled with the vav:

רוח אלוהים = 306

It's like what David famously said. So famous it's the opening to his "signature" Psalm:

"The Lord is my shepherd" [יהוה רעי]. 306

Fun stuff:

In the spirit of the song "Echad - mi yodeya", please post interesting and significant Jewish facts about the number 306.

https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/22022/shisha-ushlosh-meyot-mi-yodeya

אחד מי יודע, אחד מי יודע

= 306

Ingenuity. It's the simple meaning. :)

"Don’t forget Tang!"

Now that you mention it, Tang sounds Chinese...

Moses' Birth & Passing

Daily Thought

Moses Inside

In each one of us glows a spark of Moses. He is our teacher, a teacher from within.

Moses is a shepherd of faith, nourishing each of us with our own inherent knowledge, guiding it to pour down into our conscious mind. Showing us the way out of our slavery to mortar and bricks.

How do you awaken Moses?
By awakening yourself.

How do you awaken yourself?
That only you can do.

Yet even that will be with the guidance of a teacher, of someone in whom Moses is awake.

Only the awakened can guide others to be awake.

The dust storm couldn't keep NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity grounded forever.

The 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) Ingenuity aced a 100-second sortie on Tuesday (Feb. 8), its 19th Red Planet flight overall but its first since Dec. 15.

The flight had originally been targeted for Jan. 5. But on New Year's Day, a big dust storm kicked up near the 28-mile-wide (45 kilometers) Jezero Crater, which Ingenuity and its robotic partner, NASA's Perseverance rover, have been exploring since February 2021.

NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter acquired this image using its navigation camera.
This camera is mounted in the helicopter's fuselage and pointed directly downward to track the ground during flight.

This image was acquired on Feb. 8, 2022 (Sol 345 of the Perseverance rover mission) at the local mean solar time of 12:04:49.
This was the date of Ingenuity's 19th flight.

Women First

When it came time to give the Torah to the Jewish people, G-d told Moses to speak with the women first.

Because that is the order by which Torah enters the world: First the fundamentals, then the details.

The fundamentals -- faith, trust, love, awe, sanctity -- these are principally the woman’s domain.

Bringing all that into the details of time and space -- this is where men come in useful.

It's just what "The Judge" famously said:

"Wellll??? We're waiting."

Well I just passed the county line
I'll be home about a-half past nine
See the friends that I once knew
I got a lotta catching up to do.

Have a piece of Mom's apple pie
See the happy tears in her eye
And I'll never more go away
'Cause I'm a-coming back home to stay

Well, I've really been kicked around
Lived it up and I've lived it down
Rode the freights up in Buffalo
Been in jail down in Tupelo.

But with all of my runnin' round
Happiness is just never found
Made up my mind last Saturday
That I'm a-coming back home to stay.

[Chorus]
Well I just passed the county line...
[Instrumental]

When I left I had a lotta dreams
I was really gonna spread my wings
Show the homefolks a thing or two
Show 'em what a country boy could do.

But it didn't take me long to see
The city life was not the life for me
Confidentially, that's okay
'Cause I'm a-coming back home to stay.
