TOUCHDOWN CONFIRMED!

There are most likely no Bitcoins on Mars surface. But rare earth materials possible.

I can not even imagine the pride and joy of the multitude of engineers who saw their baby work as planned.

I saw it in Elon Musk's face when his first successful rocket booster returned and landed vertically as planned.

Joy and pride mixed with disbelief were clearly on his face.

2 years ago I built a remote controlled lawn mower out of a kids power wheel car and an old mower.

It's such a hoot. Now I can't wait to mow the lawn... even when it doesn't need it.

My neighbor even got on his knees and bowed to me in praise!

I'm now looking for steel toe boots. When you mow at 15 mph, pilot error is a b*tch!

Guess who has a TWITTER account now? Ingenuity!

Will Elon be jealous?

 

Ingenuity helicopter phones home from Mars

"Ingenuity, the Mars Helicopter I carry, is working as expected. I'm currently charging it, but once I set it down, it'll rely solely on its solar panels. If it survives the brutally cold Martian nights, the team will attempt flight," read a tweet from the Perseverance

Twitter account.

(Perseverance itself is the size of an SUV.)
