One of the space YouTube channels said that the TLI burn was only 300 m/s of delta-V, which seemed far too small. Your dashboard lists a far more reasonable delta-V over 3000 m/s.

The NASA JPL robotics team found a way to use the commercial CPU (Snapdragon) in the Ingenuity helicopter base station on the side of the Perseverance rover to do advanced image processing on the imagery captured by the rover and determine the rover location on Mars accurately. Since it was not a space-hardened CPU, they had to do extra error checking, but it works well. See the news release for more:

@sundogplanets@mastodon.social @ravenbait@mastodon.scot The Tibet paper is at: https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article/22/2/163/206045/How-flat-is-Tibet Let me know if you want me to send a PDF as it may be still paywalled after 30 years.

@ravenbait@mastodon.scot @sundogplanets@mastodon.social My most-cited paper had a title with a question, but it is not a yes-no question, so I guess Betteridge's Law does not apply: "How Flat is Tibet?"

@skyfaller @futurebird If all the vehicles using the tunnels were EV's the air quality would be much better. Still some particulates from the tires, though.

@b0rk@social.jvns.ca I have used the tcsh shell for decades on various Linux and macOS machines but I recently switched to the zsh shell that is the default on macOS now. It is talking time to get all my command settings to work again. The dichotomy between the csh and sh shell families is a hassle.
