Nasa's Ingenuity helicopter to fly over the hills of Mars
By Jonathan Amos

Håvard Grip:
"We were only ever going to fly five times. Ingenuity. But we thought, well, a book with only five pages is just gonna look too silly. And so we put a bunch of extra pages in here just so it would look more like a real book. But guess what? We are out of pages, as of two days ago. Ingenuity made its 36th flight -- we have 36 pages in here-- and, coincidentally, that also marked the threshold for Ingenuity having spent a full hour in the skies of Mars."

But the future is about to get a lot harder. As soon as Perseverance has dropped some rock samples on the ground for later collection and return to Earth by missions at the end of the decade, the rover will head for high ground. And Ingenuity will tag along.
The pair will climb the 40m-high deposits of an ancient river delta feature, and then make towards the rim of Jezero Crater.
Just wait until you get a load of the Moon Helicopter. 🤦🏼🤦🏼 /sarc

I'll be interested to watch what happens after flight 39.

Long live lil' Ginny!
Let tyrants remember the day..
Definitely. I had never seen the video of Ginny's glorious first flight on Mars. Not sure how I managed to miss it, but WOW!
Now she's headed toward new challenges.
Thanks for keeping me up to date.
40 -- the age of a new beginning. All of that "OT" really adds up:
"We were only ever going to fly five times. Ingenuity. But we thought, well, a book with only five pages is just gonna look too silly. And so we put a bunch of extra pages in here just so it would look more like a real book.
Ha. Amazing how this narrative reads between the lines.
Figured I might as well park this here for future reference, because if it weren't in the Megillah, who would ever believe it? I'm always operating on analog time. It's totally reliable, even if no one believes me.
"There are 39 books common to essentially all Christian canons."
It's like the Army-Navy Game. First overtime ever and there were two. The regular time ended with the score at 10-10. OT 1 ended on 17-17. OT 2 ended with the Army winning 20-17, yet...
The Navy Midshipmen represented the astronauts "from the sea to the stars" (58 sec vid debut of the uniforms), so after the game I had taken the concept into OT 3, for how the Navi could come back for the ultimate victory of the universe. Third time's the charm.
The simple analog answer was that "OT 3" should end with a score of 20-20, a true "win win" with perfect clarity of vision, where the two brothers get along finally, as at the end of the five books of Moses:
Deuteronomy 34
10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
11 In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
12 And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
Of course these sorts of things should sync up, so I checked the books/verses that parallel the storyline with the helicopter flights and the game OT, to arrive at 40, the place of a new beginning.
Adds right up! It's all very simple but I don't have time to explain it.
Well, there is this word regarding the 3 OTs:
Ezekiel 21:27(32) I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.Things are not going to be the same.
Long live a little Ingenuity. A lil' dab will DO!
Thanks for the great update. If you have not seen it and have Prime, I strongly encourage you to watch, “Good Night Oppy”. It is about the Martian vehicle “Opportunity”.
