NASA SAYS ITS BUILDING A HELICOPTER TO FLY ON MARS. BUT MARS ATMOSPHERE IS "according to our official partners at nasa" ONLY 0.6% OF EARTHS!!
VIDEO OF THE HELICOPTER

Moon is 0%!! 0.6% on Mars MEANS BASICALLY A VACUUM. ROTOR WOULD JUST SPIN IN A VACUUUUUUUM!!
What does this mean??? Theres simply not enough material for the rotors to actually spin through and move the craft!
Nasa says that this craft will somehow FLY on MARS.

Quick MATH:
Mars atmosphere 6 mbar
Earth 1013 mbar
169 times smaller! 169 less dense! 169 times less gas in a cubic meter than earth! Rotor based craft is like a cork screw but larger! Nothing to grab onto is no movement!

Mars gravity: 38% of earths, thats 2.64 smaller. Rotors would need to be 64 times faster (RPM) (if you take the 169 less dense atmosphere and calculate gravity compensation) for them to move same amount of material through them for the craft to move!

Impossible! The helicopter is only:
technical facts:
https://rotorcraft.arc.nasa.gov/Publications/files/Balaram_AIAA2018_0023.pdf
>1.7kg
>powered by 6x 2Ah li ion
>2800RPM
>1.2M Co-axial rotor
>"custom motor"
>flight time 15min =D

That 2800 RPM wont move shit! It would need to move 64 times more to move anywhere. But then your engine would be 64 times bigger and so would your powersource!

THINK PEOPLE.

MARS ATMOSPHERE IS THICKER THAN TOLD. ALSO WHY IS THERE LIGHT ON MARS??? THINK!! LIGHT COMES FROM SUN, REFLECTS FROM THE MATERIAL IN THE ATMOSPHERE. IF IT WOULD BE ONLY 0.6% of EARTHs, SKY WOULD BE BASICALLY DARK LIKE ON MOON BECAUSE THERES NOTHING WHICH REFLECTS IT!! BUT MARS IS BRIGHT IN EVERY PICTURE!!!!

MARS HAS A THICK ATMOSPHERE NASA BUSTED

LIAR LIAR pants on fire.

screncap this nasa been buster, REMEMBER THIS IN 100 years when truth comes out!!!!!!

Nasa is retarded but we have Space X and their other private competitors now. we don't need welfare space program anymore now that there is a viable business model.

Why do we go to mars ? it's only rocks and no good temps nor oxygen
perhaps venus at 2000ft is a way better alternative

Not enough air for a small helicopter, but dust storms on mars arent a problem, yeah op is a faggot.

Unprecedented movement detected on California earthquake fault capable of 8.0 temblor
>LOS ANGELES (Tribune News Service) — A major California fault capable of producing a magnitude 8 earthquake has begun moving for the first time on record, a result of this year’s Ridgecrest earthquake sequence destabilizing nearby faults, Caltech scientists say in a new study released in the journal Science on Thursday.
>The creeping illustrates how the Ridgecrest quakes that began on the Fourth of July have destabilized this remote desert region of California between the state’s greatest mountain range, the Sierra Nevada, and its lowest point, Death Valley. Not only has the Garlock fault begun to creep in one section, but there’s also been a substantial swarm of small earthquakes in another section of the fault, and two additional clusters of earthquakes elsewhere .
> A large quake on the Garlock fault has the potential to send strong shaking to the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita, Lancaster, Palmdale, Ventura, Oxnard, Bakersfield and Kern County, one of the nation’s most productive regions for agriculture and oil. Important military installations could also get strong shaking, such as Edwards Air Force Base, Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake and Fort Irwin National Training Center. The fault is crossed by two of Southern California’s most important supplies of imported water — the California and Los Angeles aqueducts — and critical roads like Interstate 5, state routes 14 and 58 and U.S. 395.
>A major quake on the Garlock fault could then, in turn, destabilize the San Andreas. A powerful earthquake on a stretch of the roughly 300-mile-long southern San Andreas fault could cause the worst shaking the Southern California region has felt since 1857, and send destructive tremors through Los Angeles and beyond.
