Ғылым және технология

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter flew 72 times on the Red Planet and will fly no more. NASA administrator Bill Nelson explains that one of it rotor blades were damaged during its last flight, which occurred on Jan 18, 2024. Full Story: www.space.com/nasa-ingenuity-...

    It was already incredible enough that it was the first thing mankind has made that flew above the surface of Mars. But what was also remarkable was the fact that it managed to fly so many times.

    Better yet repair it and put it back in flight, why waste technology when it's already there , update it and continue on , I've been studying mars since I first saw THE FACE OF MARS , BACK IN 1978 , i saw it in a book read about it , but why haven't we gone to to investigate those buildings I'm 64 now still keeping up wit our MISSIONS TO MARS and VOYAGER 1 / VOYAGER 2 BOTH OVER A BILLION MILES IN DEEP SPACE AND STILL IN CONTACT WITH EARTH , STRUGGLING BUT STILL ALIVE ...MARS WAS AT ONE TIME HABITABLE IT LOST ITS ATMOSPHERE , MARS ATMOSPHERE CAN ALSO BE RESTARTED, TO START ,BUILD UNDERGROUNG GREEN HOUSES HOUSES WITH TINTED PLASTI GLASS FOR ROOFS TO PROTECT FROM UV RAYS , LET A % OF OXYGEN ESCAPE , BUILD ON HIGH GROUND ANOVE FLOOD PLAINS. SOUNDS SIMPLE YET LOTS OF PLANNING DUE TO MARTIAN WEATHER , YES IT IS A DESERT WITH WILD WEATHER .HOT AIR AND COLD AIR WILL MIX , CAUSING TORNADOES AND R A I N . HUNDREDS OF YEARS BUT POSSIBLE , SOME TIMES THE SIMPLE THINGS TAKE LOTS OF TIME YET POSSIBLE AND REWARDING . PLANT S LIKE CARBON DIOXIDE , HUMANS LIKE OXYGEN ... ...GOD SPEED ...U.S.MARINE...

Then be placed in a Martian museum for exceptional droid emissaries, including MER- Spirit. Regardless, tonight I shall raise a silent toast to it and tell it "Well done, little one. Well done."

    Back in the 60s my dad did electrical wiring at the Johnson Space Center during his vacation from Dow. Part of his paycheck paid for my first year of college. Before NASA recalled the prototypes of the Mercury capsules, I used to play in one that had been rejected from T.J. Bettis company of Oyster Creek. And back when those Mercury capsules used to pass overhead, I would listen to them talk to the folks in Clear Lake on an AM radio I had "under" tuned. So exciting these days with the internet. We can keep up almost real time. NASA should do more to advertise their projects. And get yourself a KZread channel . . . America is hungry to love you like we did in the Sixties 💕

    If a Boing can fly without a door plug, Ingenuity can still fly with a few scratches and dents. A damaged blade will vibrate, but it will still fly. If the opposite side blade was also damaged, it may offset the vibration. It's not Earth gravity, its Mars. Something tells me that they will give it another try after a few strategy meetings.

    So, one of the blades touched the ground. Is it confirmed? These blades rotated at very high speeds, perhaps dust particles or grains of Martian sand could also degrade those blades and damage them. It's seen quite often at wind turbines at earth that they get damaged over time, and they almost don't even rotate compared to Ingenuity.
