Also: you know the bad news are bad when scientists will rather ignore them…
(Be advised, if you’re anxious or incomfortable about the threats of climate change, take Sabine’s forewarning for good and stop watching before she dives into the bad part, because it’s bad)
Nobody likes those “hot” models but here they are. This is what some scientists like spanish Antonio Turiel have been talking about for a few months, pointing the very disctinct possibility that the iPCC metamodels are too optimistic and the reality is far worse.
The little copter that could suffered a disconnect and apparently had a rough landing which damaged a rotor blade and rendered it unable to fly. During its mission Ingenuity went far beyond the mission goals and earned a place in history by opening the path to controlled flight on alien worlds. We don’t now what flying machines will the future bring to other planets, but Ingenuity will be forever the first and a benchmark of extrordinary success.
Well, I know only that every story will repeat itself, but as a parody. We cant go back to what was there in the beginning. People may say something about time, but its physically impossible due to the changes in the physical structure of matter.
Over an extended mission that lasted for almost 1,000 Martian days, more than 33 times longer than originally planned.
The article doesn’t state it, but my sources tell me that the machine was lately controlled by the same Howard Wolowitz who controlled the Mars rover from The Big Bang Theory T.V. show.
It was a good copter. o7
Word of the day: Copter
Hayley picture of the day:
Tap water is all you need to stay hydrated, everything else is “water with stuff”… or so I think. Now I wonder whether there is something we use to drink that is not something mixed, dissolved or suspended on water…
Ah, but whatever. water is good enough, water is your friend, unless you try to breathe it (seriously kids, don’t breathe water!).
And now i’m going to sleep because it’s a healthy habit, like drinking enough water. Nighties lovelies!
PS: we are now officially in drought emergency, with reserves of only 100 hm3 and reservoir capacity at 14%. Water consumption at municipality level has been limited to 200 liters per day and person, with water restrictions to agriculture, cattle raising and industry. At this point we would need two monster storms to refill our reserves to average levels for the season… and there is no end in sight, we’re stuck with the usual January high pressures and no-effin-way-usual 20+ degrees.
