Mars Rover landing 3:55pm Eastern

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

Yeah, we get it. You are as dumb as a box of rocks when it comes things scientific. We noticed. Go post in a dumbed down thread. It's more your speed. Edging closer to alzheimer's daily right before our eyes. I'm enjoying it.

I'm starting to think Animal doesn't understand what the environment on Mars is like.
I bet Animal can buy a cell phone and pick a cell phone carrier.

What's the deal? Seems you've only posted like 25 times today. Better pick it up if you want to keep your self titled "UJR's top poster" you were crowing about. Sliding into obscurity takes a lot of work to avoid. Constant noise seems your best bet and you are really good at it.

One of the biggest meltdowns ever on UJ, other than the blondie squirt fights and such, was when JD said something like we at UJ think you are an idiot, WTC went on a rampage meltdown for the ages.

so explain something. When the NASA people are talking about this thing they call it a "helicopter". Which is odd in today's world of drones, where everything is a drone. Why do they use the word helicopter instead?

I think technically it is both an unmanned drone and a helicopter....... Some drones are quadcopters. Etc....
I blame Biker.

Drones have a negative connotation with the missles and all.

I think you are right. A helicopter us anything that uses a rotor to provide lift and thrust. And a drone can be a propelled by that or a drone could also be like an airplane and use propellers or turbines.

So, while all (unmanned) helicopters are drones, not all drones are helicopters. This seems more like the answer that Sheldon would give.

Unmanned aircraft (UAV) are controlled directly (think RC airplane) Drones are autonamous. Not all UAV are drones but all drones are UAV. Some drones are like cars others like submarines.
Drones are mostly told to go somewhere and do something but get themselves there without help.

Pictures will come first, video will probably take the same amount of time it took to get the landing video, I suppose we can look back at how many days it took in this thread from landing to landing video.
