From “can we fly on Mars, will it work” to now “how long will it last, how fast can it go, how high can it go?”. This is way cool.

There is an oxygen experiment on the Perseverance rover. It is called Moxie, and is also a proof of concept experiment. It does work. We can make oxygen out of the Martian atmosphere. We do not not have to always carry all the oxygen we will need. I believe the first few trips will bring plenty of oxygen, but eventually large amounts can be produced on Mars.

If only the Obama / Biden Regime would let SpaceX be SpaceX. During the President Trump administration, SpaceX was testing and launching Starship prototypes often, sometimes once a month. Since SloJo and Hussein stole the election, Starship has launched twice. Ridiculous.

Rocks and sand... Rocks and sand... Rocks and sand... Been there, done that.

Good thing we didn’t bother going there ourselves to to see the same thing this remote control helicopter has found.

"We can make oxygen out of the Martian atmosphere."

We just need to find the control room and the switch to turn on the alien atmospheric processing machine:

This whole mission is one of the most impressive there’s been. Say what you want about NASA, but they’ve been on really good streak for over a decade now. I hope they can pull of the sample return part of this one. The other big one coming will be the Titan chopper.

Starship and Heavy booster have only flown once, now the FAA is holding things up, its almost like they want the Chinese to beat us back to the moon.

Flight 60
Sol 924
Date Sept. 25, 2023

Yom Kippur, for the atonement of souls, Sol 924 (a Sol is a Mars-Day), new speed record for Ingenuity, nice integration:

(= 924)

'Translate to English" sez...

Disciplinary proceedings are a formal procedure in which the guilt of a person belonging to a particular organization other than a state is adjudicated. Disciplinary action deals with a violation of the regulations, rules or laws of that organization.

Unlike a regular civil court, the outcome of a judicial proceeding is usually an acquittal or punishment. Disciplinary law does not usually deal with proceedings of an arbitration nature between two parties or between a person and a governmental authority.

The disciplinary process takes place under the direction of a person authorized to do so by the organization, and usually also has the authority to punish or alternatively recommend punishment.

Abraham -- the First Jew. In Genesis 12.1 - the opening verse of Parshat Lech Lecha - Abram was told, Go 4U!". And he went.

It was also the parsha for the debut and test of the DMC time machine (1:21 a.m. Saturday October 26, 1985, 11 Cheshvan, Twin Pines Mall)

GO [ื’ื• ื’'ื•ึผ, ื’'ื•ึน] It *is* the Way of the Patriarchs, Derech haAvot:

924:

ื–ื”ึพื”ืฉืขืจ ืœื™ื”ื•ื” ืฆื“ื™ืงื™ื ื™ื‘ืื• ื‘ื•ืƒ

Psalms 118:20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.

Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

Who thinks of this stuff? The next thing you know, elephant = klipah.

Any guess where that elephant is headed? To monkey around, in search of appeal:

I wonder what ‘air’ speed effective translational lift occurs at in the Martian atmosphere?

Now I wonder too.

Thanks for the vid! I read up on the process first before watching, so that really helped me grasp the concept.
