Good bye little one!

-Im still here! I just hurt my wing

Rest in peace, you were the best

-i'm not dead, just give me a lift!

We'll always remember you for your accomplishments

-Yay! Let's go home and tell everyone. My battery is getting low. Hello? Hello?

"Bring out your dead!"
"Got one here."
"I'm not dead!"
"You will be in a minute."
"Look, I'm fine. I'm happyyyyy!"
Something like that anyway.

RIP to a real one

Why rip? Did it crash?

Rtfa. It's literally the second sentence.

imagery of its Jan. 18 flight sent to Earth this week indicates one or more of its rotor blades sustained damage during landing, and it is no longer capable of flight.

What article? I'm only getting an image

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sorry. I fixed it. For some reason when I added the image it removed the link I had.

I think Lemmy posts can be a link XOR an image, not both. You can always put links it the body text though, as I see you have done now.

Best helicopter ever. What a phenomenal feat of engineering, management, and scientific vision! That it flew at all was outright wonderful. That it became a new tool to continue to help a larger mission was downright amazing.

Great work NASA, engineers, scientists, and leaders. You've exceeded expectations once again.
