Mike Kelly on Twitter — I’ve been curious to try out @rustlang and wanted to celebrate @LinuxUnplugged episode 400… so I combined both in a silly fun little project. Check it out… a mini-website powered by Rust… @ChrisLAS and @wespayne would be proud!
Mars Helicopter Flight Delayed — During a high-speed spin test of the rotors on Friday, the command sequence controlling the test ended early due to a “watchdog” timer expiration.
Work Progresses Toward Ingenuity’s First Flight on Mars — Over the weekend, the team considered and tested multiple potential solutions to this issue, concluding that minor modification and reinstallation of Ingenuity’s flight control software is the most robust path forward.
