The #MarsHelicopter made history today by being the first craft to achieve controlled, powered flight on a planet beyond Earth.
Congrats to NASA and JPL!
(Video when I have time to find it.)
Achieve remote controlled powered flight beyond Earth!
ReplyDeleteHow can some day's you can be so damned proud, others ... ?
I believe that Rev. Abernathy had much the same feelings when he watched the launch of Apollo 11.
ReplyDeleteOne CBS television personality pronounced it like ingénue.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure but what that's the first time it's been suggested I were naïve. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've never understood that ~ I witnessed the moon landings, witnessed John Glenn's first trip ~ what we were what we are doing is far from naïve, or innocent. Maybe, if we take a page from my logging days: we didn't really know any better, and hook it in with whatshisname's (Oppenhiemer?) "I am Death, Destroyer of Worlds" we don't know what we're messin' with schtick ok maybe, maybe naïve, but far from "innocent".
This thin layer of potentially toxic gasses we live in enveloping the only ball of rock we know of we can live on is growing ever more toxic. We don't have much time.
