There is no identified murderer in Chicago who is known to kill anyone today. But, I do know that means nothing and that death is nigh.

Propaganda and lies! This is BS. That DZ2 was discovered less than a month ago o Feb 27, 2023. To believe NASA reassurance is folly. They can't have ANY certainty of the next 100 (Earth) years when they can't see the flying bricks even a month before they could collide. There may be a similar one just 5 weeks away from destroying a city that is yet to be seen by humans. Sure, the odds are low and I'm not worried. But, don't believe if a word of that bull crap from NASA ...

I guess my comment was a bit hyperbolic

I would be a little more clear than that. It used consumer grade hardware for certain components. Key avionics are still radiation hardened and as far as I know, things like the blades, landing legs, and chassis are all custom. The motors were technically off-the-shelf (maxon DCX), but were modified and customized. The thing cost $80,000,000 to design and build.

Heh, science WILL kill us, and we can't all be Aldous Huxley and die on a clinical amount of LSD, but we will all go the way of the dinosaurs.

Fun fact about the cupola: there are shutters on the outside that are manually operated by little wheels, with connecting rods going through the pressure hull. Needless to say the seals around these rods have to be very good.
How much force is needed to operate the shutters please?
Thanks for sharing :-)

What’s so sad is that humanity’s accomplishing amazing feats like this, and it has only a handful of up-votes and comments.
Meanwhile, human nature is on full display everywhere and we’re drawn to it like moths to the flame.
Keep plodding ever forward, NASA and JPL! We still applaud you and admire your astounding accomplishments — especially when they’re on other worlds.

Still blows my mind that this is pretty good quality video from another planet.
