The Ingenuity helicopter has successfully completed its historic flight on Mars and safely landed back on the surface, according to NASA.
Ingenuity, which is a technology demonstration, flew for about 40 seconds total on Monday. The 4-pound helicopter spun up its two 4-foot blades, rose up 10 feet (3 meters) in the air, hovered, took a photo, and touched back down on Mars.
Ingenuity could fly up to four more times over the coming weeks.
The helicopter's navigation camera captured a view of the Ingenuity's shadow on the Martian surface during its first flight.

So for the next day or so, maybe you're going to want to do like they say at the end of Star Gazers, and "...keep looking up."

Is it big enough? No? Just local destruction? Darn.
SpaceX Crew Dragon makes 1st nighttime splashdown with US astronauts since Apollo era
A SpaceX Dragon capsule carrying four astronauts returned to Earth early Sunday (May 2) with an ocean splashdown off the Florida coast, successfully completing the company's first full-fledged crewed mission to the International Space Station.
The astronauts of SpaceX's Crew-1 mission for NASA splashed down safely in the Gulf of Mexico near Panama City at 2:56 a.m. EDT (0656 GMT), with a recovery ship swiftly retrieving their Crew Dragon capsule from the sea. The spacecraft landed on target, marking the first nighttime splashdown of a U.S. crewed flight in 53 years. The last was NASA's Apollo 8 moon mission on Dec. 27, 1968. (Space.com)

Chili and cheese.
Mustard, ketchup and cheese if chili is not available.
Mustard, ketchup and cheese if chili is not available.
hot dogs, fries, and crispy hashbrowns are about all I put it on.
And about half the time, I do malt vinegar and mayo instead of ketchup on fries.
I like ketchup well enough, just not on hot dogs...in a bun.
If you serve 'em "gourmet style" (naked and on a plate), then yes, I will slice 'em up and happily dip the hot dog "coins" in a side of ketchup.

Soooooo...I guess I shouldn't confess that I would put peanut butter on hot dogs when I was a kid?
While it's not something I intend to try, I can see how it could work.
As long as you don't put raw egg on there. I've seen it done.
Dude made $19 billion PER DAY forcing his employees to pee in bottles. Fuck him.
Huh. I think I'll try that sometime, I'm kind of curious.
