I just figured out how to disable #SearchAssist in @duckduckgo and it feels meaningful.

I am trying to educate myself about the relationships between #TeleologicalEvolution, #eschatology, and #soteriology and these are so entwined and complex and deeply historical that, in this case, I don't want #AI getting in the way of my own capacity to understand this stuff.

Guten Morgen ☕ niemand hätte geglaubt, dass die Entdeckung des #Marsgesicht in der letzten Dekade des 20. Jahrhunderts nur ein versteckter Hinweis war!

Und erst als die #Nasa den kleinen Helikopter #Ingenuity auf dem #Mars geschickt hatte allen klar, wer das Gesicht wirklich ist und dazu heute auch noch Geburtstag hat - es ist der hier gern gelesene und liebe @Linkshaender :-)
Herzlichen Glückwunsch mein Lieber <3
Bleib gesund und lass Dich feiern! Und entschuldige dass ichs wieder poste ;-)

Thanks for the heads up. At first I thought that the article was just another one written or summarized by an AI, but the part about the #SkyFall mission of 3 #Ingenuity class helicopters was very hopeful indeed.

The concept of helicopters dropping off of their carrier in mid-air was an earlier proposal, IIRC. It's good that novel ideas keep progressing through the agency and will be tried again.

Space Reactor‑1 Freedom, the first nuclear powered interplanetary spacecraft, launching to Mars before the end of 2028 👀

Upon reaching Mars, it will deploy the Skyfall payload of Ingenuity‑class helicopters to continue exploring the Red Planet 👀

NASA Unveils Initiatives to Achieve America’s National Space Policy - NASA

As part of its “Ignition” event on Tuesday, NASA announced a series of transformative agencywide initiatives designed to achieve President Donald J. Trump’s

yeah. On the other hand, criticizing NASA's achievements is still a good way to advertise those achievements, and on top of that, it makes one feel that he knows better … 🙄 . #selfSarcasm

For example, we used to pick on the number of decimal digits the #Ingenuity team gave about the expected length of its flights or the flight duration (3 and 2 decimal digits!).

Good ol' times. Still trying to stay in shape 😀

NASA Uses Mars Global Localization As GNSS Replacement For The Perseverance Rover

Unlike on Earth there aren’t dozens of satellites whizzing around Mars to provide satellite navigation functionality. Recently NASA’s JPL engineers tried something with the Perseverance…

🤔 In a breathtaking display of #human #ingenuity, behold a #museum dedicated to... #plugs and sockets! 🔌 Because, of course, the world was clamoring for a #digital #shrine to #electrifyingly #mundane objects. 🎉 Welcome to the electrifyingly dull rabbit hole that nobody asked for!

It seems everything #Ingenuity 's design team tried was innovative and accomplished much more than was expected.

Unfortunately, instead of building on their success, the Biden administration and then Trump's decided that "colonizing Mars" by subsidized, billionaire run "space economy" was a better choice.

And, speaking again about the little #MarsHelicopter, here is a breathtaking view of it passing over the Rocky Top, right above the "bacon strip" north of Three Forks:
