Episode 180 Last month, Perseverance began an epic climb up the rim of Jezero crater to explore new science targets on the outside. After three weeks and ten drives, Perseverance was only about a tenth of the way up. But then something changed.

What's with the clickbait title? What's the drive enhancer? From the video they just changed the route to be less steep

MG seems to like click bait titles for his YT videos. I try to ignore the titles so I can enjoy the content :)

I mean, if you're going to engage in clickbait, you may as well get the best return on your deception possible.

Picture it: a dark future where MSR's 2nd-gen twin helicopters fly toward the grizzled Perseverance, many years from now. While one drone is recording, NASA can execute commands aboard the rover and the 2nd drone to create the ultimate sci-fi action scene: Percy firing its "LIBS" (i.e. Star Wars-style laser) at the approaching drone.

If Steve Ruff does the mock-up of this for his channel, I'm sure we could convince NASA to do it. Hollywood will pay big for the rights to this Martian Robo-Wars scene, when people realize that AI-created slop is less exciting than actual footage.
