    The landing video is truly one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Watching from the rover as it descends, with the platform above hovering with its rockets and their transparent exhaust… absolutely incredible. JPL has always had crazy ideas for the landing sequence that we could all read about, like for Spirit and Opportunity with huge airbags and the last two rovers with sky cranes, but seeing it on video just makes it so much more impressive.

      The craziest parts (at least for me) are that due to the signal delay because of the distances between Earth and Mars the landing on Mars AND the different flights of Ingenuity weren't remotely controlled. At the shortest distance between the two planets, light takes a full five minutes to cross between them meaning that you couldn't remotely control it.
      Everything would have to be manually planned out in scripts by programmers before being transmitted to the drone, and then the drone would carry out those instructions while also handling unexpected events (like possible air turbulence) with a similar kind of autonomous program that Endeavor would use when driving.
      It also made for the landing of Endeavor on Mars to be rather tense because NASA wouldn't be able to have any control if anything went wrong. It was all up to the programming and hardware that had been prepared back on Earth.

    Seems like most of the problems suffered by Mars Landers and the helicopter could be fixed with a jet of compressed air. No doubt it would extend every single mission to be able to blow off the solar cells occasionally. It might have cleared the pebbles in the sample tube too. As an analytic tool it could determine how dusty a surface is before beginning to drill it. It would also clear dust off of samples so they are kept more pristine for analysis.

    What an amazing mission. I applaud the brilliant scientists, engineers, and ground crew that has made this mission possible! I cannot wait to find out what they find within the samples when the retrieval mission brings the samples back home to us.

      As for bringing any samples back to Earth, I’d be very leery on that one, simply because what might be released when it ended up in a lab, thus contaminating earth with its chemical properties/components which in turn could potentially destroy all life on our own planet. If there was an ancient civilization consumed by warfare, destroying all life upon Mars with bio-technological weapons, what would you think it would do to our Earth? What I’m suggesting is nanotechnology which can destroy all biological life forms. Today’s society and technology is quite capable of accomplishing this task now, so what actually happened to Mars and its atmosphere, besides its environment and magnetic field? This should all be addressed firsthand, instead of trying to colonize Mars and putting people into a greater risk of extinction than what we are trying and currently doing to ourselves now. Our planet is filled with life, all unique in its own right, putting our planet’s future in danger from something which may be an unseen and coming back to us, puts this planet in grave danger with contamination from Mars. Even though it may be undetected, It’s a false premise to assume nothing harmful is on Mars. Another questionable possibility, since carbon dioxide emissions are present, where is it coming from? Our planet alone is balanced with species emitting carbon dioxide and plants producing oxygen for species needing the oxygen, including all life existing and balancing the other for its survival and existence. Since Mars still carries an atmosphere, the biggest question is what did actually happened to Mars and it’s environment? There are no clear answers nor facts to answer any of these questions, no matter how many robots or probes go up there, simply because they are not prepared or equipped to properly assess the data presented to them. They are machines, created by humanity, and errors are inevitable because of our ignorance into thinking we know everything, knowing more than we think we do or have an understanding of it. Even with our own knowledge of our ancestors and ancient civilizations, we have only limited understanding and knowledge from various sources, therefore mistakes are made because we lack the knowledge and insight of understanding, piecing together information which may be useful but also is incomplete or incorrect in our assumptions. Searching for underlying evidence, nor even life alone, is not the answer to any of these issues with Mars. Our Earth is a rare jewel and should be considered as such, for without our planet’s resources and quality of life on it, humanity cannot possibly believe it is better somewhere else, because IT IS NOT. Without our planet’s gift of life, we would cease to exist.
      At this moment in time, humanity is at its infancy in technological progress, playing with deadly toys, and slowly destroying itself with hatred and greed, a faraway cry from where it should be for space travel and exploration….NO real shielding from various cosmic radiation elements or debris from meteors or other objects in space, NO antigravity devices to lessen the chance of explosion or damages from landings or takeoffs from surface environments, including clothing to further protect people from various encounters with the unknowns. What exists now is NOT enough for the long haul of space travel, nor for the future exploration of other planets. Even though scientific research, at the present, it’s definitely a suicidal mission and a waste of human life. 🖖🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I can't help but wonder excitedly too, what has Perserverance discovered already that we have not studied yet. And how much longer will Ingenuity soldier on?
    Next time we send a Heli to Mars, make sure it can tilt safely and dump the dust off its Soalr charging panels. Just a suggestion, now we know they can fly out there in that wispy atmosphere.

    Your telling of the story of Perseverance was amazing. You must either have had training in public speaking or you are a spoken word poet. Your descriptions of the stowaway pebbles and then later the loss of Ingenuity were brilliant. I am grateful that you employed restraint and sensitivity in the telling of the narrative. The nature of our language coupled with our perception of objects having physical body experiences, as well as familial aspects in the interactions they deploy objects creates oportunities for hyperbole and over anthropomorphizing. Such a delivery leads to times when we hear a narrator deliver a hackneyed or stale description. But again, your restraint kept your narrative fresh and relevent to the reality of the situation. I greatly appreciated this because it allowed the slight times you did rely upon anthropomorphized descriptions, to do what they are intended to do, which is allow me the hearer to feel moved and experience the events in a distinctly human way. Thank you!
