    Default Mars Helicopter Does CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!

    What does one rotor chopping sound like?

    When we see what incredible things that we can do,
    that makes not being able to do things that should be much easier to do
    all the more frustrating.

    Notice how few people care.
    The bottom line is that conservatives cant admit to themselves the Evil they have allowed to romp on their watch.

    This is going to hurt.

    Oh, I see there is going to be a delay in the plan...

    (from your link) "Editor's Note: On April 10, NASA announced that based on data from the Ingenuity Mars helicopter that came in late on April 9, the agency has chosen to reschedule the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter’s first experimental flight to no earlier than Wednesday, April 14. "

    But most sentient life forms are interested in science and advancing the frontiers of human knowledge. That is what makes NASA arguably the most respected and admired government agency in the history of the United States.

    And I suppose Lincoln should have suspended construction work on the Capitol Dome when the Civil War broke out. Many thought he should. But he said no, the work must go on. His words: "If people see the Capitol going on, it is a sign we intend the Union shall go on."

    I am. I am saying that I have noticed a general lack of interest in this mars mission.

    What do you see?
