Mars Perseverance Landing

https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/timeline/landing/watch-online/

in about two hours from this posting, NASA will attempt to land their new rover on Mars. You should watch it!

Hoping all goes well and landing on Mars is routine :)

Ty for the link and time frame.

[mcoy]

I think the landing is supposed to occur around 3:45PM EST, so make sure to fire up the stream before then!

Yay science!

[Jimjam]

Oh my gosh, turns out mars is a planet populated exclusively by robots?! how metal!

Yay science!

[Swish]

I'm not sure what's harder to watch, interviews with NASA scientists or interviews with esports nerds.

Good job on that landing though, respect to NASA for what they do.

[nostalgiaquest]

yeah the interviews are part of the fun. Cringy engineers at their finest.

[magnetaress]

Marscopters.

How long will it rove before Shai-Halud takes it beneath the sands?

whitey on the moon, eh? :)

I see you

[magnetaress]

Idk. Im pretty excited about it caching samples. And the drone is cool.

They are making this stuff autonomous.

Maybe in 100 years we'll have fully autonomous and programmable fuel production with a combination of drone technology and bioengineering, solar and nuclear power. Remotely programmable assembly. Or even automated entirely for a deep space mission. Then we just launch things around the system and galaxy.

Really cool thoughts.

Plus pictures of Mars rocks are always cool.

I always thought shai-halud were bioengineering run amuck and their original purpose was turning a biosphere into a life extending drug factory. Maybe Arrakis wasn't so arid. Though Frank Herbert I think stated emphatically man emigrated to Arrakis.

[Jibartik]

That was a cool live stream of the animation they made last month!

Did you see that pyramids in the upper right hand corner and the permission to turn on and display the engineering camera feed. Just in case.

I would have been a 10/10 control room babe in my youth. *envy*

Worried about BigJpl man. He was looking a tad radioactive.

Tbh this is still my favorite planet.

There's so much easy energy there. Definitely terriformable.

Perseverance landed in a dry lake bed. Neat.

[magnetaress]

Aerial LIDAR is pretty fun on Earth. Maybe the drone has a secret mission near that pyramid.

also inb4 gwahir tells us all space isn't real

I got this. The world is a flat plane created by God. NASA is a gov't agency who's purpose is to keep the public from knowing there is a boundary to this world (the firmament of Heaven) and that God is 100% real. Outer space is fake, there is no "Mars" to land on.

Hope this help, seek Christ

Two worlds. One beginning.

Sorry you're not privy to the truth.

Mars is an old goat, but cosmic law says you have to let another goat go, if you wanna sacrifice his brother.

Yes, humans migrated to Arrakis, and it was the makers who made a desert of the planet. It is all explained in Children of Dune.

[magnetaress]

My brain is actually quite squishy.

Got to read them all again. Just got through the first three again and it was like reading them for the first time. Been over 17 years at least.

Sometimes, we must swallow the bitter fruit of our labor to kill the half of us who still takes pride in our roughshod machinations.

Bitter fruit.

is this purge advocacy?

you know 4chan is a totally co-opted psyop of GCHQ and CIA brain melt, right? don't get sucked into the abyss pal

[Gwaihir]

The statement was purely internal. Judging (there's that word that is in my realm) by your overnight comments, you seem to be misinterpreting me, rather adversely to the intended intent.

[imperiouskitten]

Okay then, I'll be careful. that is good advice then.

[Gwaihir]

For clarity, was Jacob wrestling an angel? Or was Jacob:s angel wrestling a "Man" who really wasn't a man at all, rather an aspect of the worldly?

[imperiouskitten]

Im not sure man I havent seen much wrestling aside from Ric Flair highlights

[magnetaress]

Idk either really. I wouldn't interpret it literally. Who knows maybe he, Jacob single handedly fought of an alien invasion.

Not a literal angel 😇 more like an idea or feeling.

Be generous /and/ let your better angels prevail

Plato would call them "Forms", but Plato plagiarized a great deal of the Chaldean mysteries in his travels.

I still have yet to check this out but I will. I'm looking forward to the mission to Titan.

[Cassawary]

I probably sounded alot like Byue in my bernie daze.

It's like looking into a smelly mirror :o

[imperiouskitten]

you never once dared reveal so much of urself, stinky :p

They're not really that bad. At least they aren't completely genocidal. Not that you ever were.

You've always been a voice of conscience and inspiration to me.

[imperiouskitten]

I'm pretty sure pokesan is agoraphobic

confirm deny?

[imperiouskitten]

sorry that might feel pokier to u than it would to a neurotypical. *pat pat*

anyway byue is fighting the good fight, earnestposting, respecting women. im at the point of endorsing women respecters and anyone who might say a new thing with a pretty free hand around here. We got a lot of impressionable mentally ills who could use some positive examples of ppl who don't just put their cage on and human centipede up on the 2016 meme vibes, wallstreetbets discord soft-edgelord vibes, trying to chill with unlikely-to-succeed 18 yr olds online vibes.

the new theme is Self Respect

The Earth is round, its space that is flat. Prove me wrong.

Take a large piece of flat thin rubber.

Now put a heavy ball on it.

Flat surfaces curve.

Gg.

Light houses function

Light houses function

They are bright. When lit. I saw one were the oil had to manually be carried up like 12 flights of stairs or something. Was fun.

[Kaveh]

Photons can scatter around a curve

Hope this helps

[Jimjam]

Is Mars flat tho?

Ask Elon (JK, I’ve never met Elon he must be fake)

[magnetaress]

Mars has some psuedoflat surfaces.

[HalflingSpergand]

Light curves perfectly around the curve of the earth, highly suspicious

For Jibartik. Pretty badass footage of the landing.

You know they got this in relativistic time. They had to make sure nothing secret gets out though.

Still a really gorgeous view.

[Jibartik]

its so crazy~

this is like the fake moon landing but theyre about to fake that they find life on mars!

haha

I'm feeling it. Maybe sometime after Dune?

I don't want to be a prophetic fool though.

However it looks like they're following clues, did their homework and put her down in a REALLY promising spot.

I'm still really hopeful.

[magnetaress]

Yes, perseverance is a SHE :p

[Swish]

Is Mars flat tho?

whoa

[magnetaress]

There is a Flat Mars society.

Anyway. Anything can be projected on most surfaces, so, it's basically a question of, using simple round math. Or ridiculously complex flat math, or innacurate flat projections of round math.

PSA mars is real and the evidence for heavenly beings, or non terrestrials, aka the celestials is all throughout the Biblia.

[HalflingSpergand]

stoked for fake aliens i cant wait thats gonna send civ into a tailspin.
