@0xtenthirtyone @Seminar557 @AnishA_Moonka those 2500 millionaires should have stopped eating avocado toast and maybe they wouldnt be poor now

@Seminar557 @AnishA_Moonka That's retarded.
How about you address the 2,500 millionaires

Those wheels you’re looking at are 0.75 millimeters thick. That’s half the thickness of a US dime. Each one was carved from a single block of aluminum, and NASA sent six of them to Mars knowing they’d eventually shred.
Curiosity was built for a 2-year mission. It landed in August 2012, and by December that year NASA had already extended the mission indefinitely. Thirteen years and 35.5 kilometers later, the rover is still going, but the wheels started cracking just 14 months in. The damage came faster than anyone at JPL predicted. Sharp embedded rocks were punching straight through the skin between the treads.
So NASA assembled a Wheel Wear Tiger Team (a crisis problem-solving tradition that goes back to Apollo 13) and got to work. In 2017, they uploaded a traction control algorithm from Earth that adjusts each wheel’s speed in real time based on the terrain, reducing force on the front wheels by 20%. They rerouted the rover to softer ground and started driving backward when possible, because pulling wheels over rocks produces less force than pushing them into rocks.
The wildest part: if enough treads snap off, Curiosity is designed to find a sharp rock on Mars and use it to deliberately rip out the damaged inner section of its own wheel. JPL tested this on a replica rover and found Curiosity can keep driving on just the outer third. They predict this won’t be needed until around 2034.
Every 1,000 meters, the rover pulls over and uses the camera on its robotic arm to photograph its own wheels so engineers on Earth can count every crack. Each wheel also has tiny holes that spell “JPL” in Morse code, which Curiosity uses to measure distance by photographing its own tracks in the dirt.
These photos directly changed the next rover. When NASA built Perseverance, engineers 3D-printed about 70 different tread designs before landing on 48 curved treads instead of Curiosity’s 24, with thicker skin. They tested the new wheels over 60 kilometers and got zero damage by Curiosity’s original failure definition. “A boring graph with no data on it,” as one JPL engineer put it.
A $2.5 billion machine doing self-surgery with rocks on another planet because the mission outlasted its design by 6x.

Dude I’ve made it. I’m the Snapcase guy

@B__mo26 Idk if you mean the snapcase guy, or a real life medieval weapon, but either way hell yeah

@Kayvelol @QtaShiba @WadsworthP @Eli15392059 @HashashinTag maybe the old nosy freaks should get some glasses instead of calling the cops over nothing

@QtaShiba @WadsworthP @Eli15392059 @HashashinTag It doesn’t work that way, if someone calls saying this guy looks like he has a bomb vest they have to treat it as if he actually does have a bomb vest

lmao poor dude was just wearing a weighted vest at an outdoor gym


Salford Police (GMP)@GMPSalford
#UPDATE | We received a report of a suspicious male on Bristol Street, Salford, at around 11:52am today. Officers established that the individual was wearing a weighted gym vest and carrying a skipping rope at an outdoor gym. There is no threat to the wider community.

@LittleMiss_IYDK i for one am SHOCKED that bad omens fans would be the type of people to drop crowdsurfers

@mosthiphop vinyl as an accessory is kinda a crazy method lowkey

Bron is hilarious man I never seen anyone walk around with a vinyl on them in my life
