The little helicopter’s ninth flight saw it travel a distance of 2,051 feet. It hit speeds of 16 feet per second in its flight that lasted around 167 seconds. The flight was expected to be a nail-biting one because NASA was asking the helicopter to do something its flight navigation algorithm had not been designed for—flying over uneven terrain. However, the flight was successful and Ingenuity was able to capture a photo with its navigation camera mid-flight, seen below....

McCurry’s signature touch is not only his skill at making an ordinary moment look surreal but also “finding the human behind the headlines and so restoring the humanity of us all,” as acclaimed travel writer Pico Iyer says in the book’s foreword. McCurry’s four decades of photography span conflicts, ancient rituals, vanishing cultures and also everyday life, from Pakistan and Myanmar to Cuba and Tibet. Just as we’ll never forget the piercing stare from McCurry’s iconic “Afghan Girl” on a 1985 National Geographic cover, these images remain timeless....

Buttigieg inched ahead of returning Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders in the USA Today poll, dramatically rising in popularity versus a September poll by CNN that had him fourth for the Democratic bid in the 2020 election. The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, told Fallon that his campaign seems to be winning over American citizens because he has the “right message.” Buttigieg said that message isn’t just ousting President Donald Trump from office, but conceded that removing Trump from power “is a huge priority because our country’s future depends on it....

A new parent himself, Buttigieg was asked about the policy as lawmakers continued negotiations on whether to include it in President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better social spending bill. Biden’s latest framework excluded paid family leave from the plan, after he originally proposed as much as 12 weeks off for parents. “The president put forward a framework that he’s confident can pass the House in the Senate,” Buttigieg said. “I think it’s also no secret how I feel about family leave and how the president does, which is why he proposed it, campaigned on it and will continue to fight for it....

The Seattle Seahawks’ star tight end tore his patellar tendon in Week 12 last season. While he has been progressing from the injury, it was originally believed he would miss the season opener after sitting out the entire preseason. However, according to the Seattle Times, Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that Graham’s chances of playing this week “are good”. The comments are in stark contrast to his previous statement made Monday, claiming Graham would practice as if he would play Sunday’s game, even though the team didn’t actually expect him to be available....

In a video posted on Youtube, the Saturday Night Live actor appeared to become irritated when students began using their cell phones during his set, even using the word “retarded” to describe the situation. “If you film everything and not enjoy the show for f—ing an hour then, like, I don’t gotta be here,” Davidson said. “I could just give them their money back because I don’t give a f—....

And it’s Minecraft’s massive success that helped foster the sale of the game (and Mojang Studios) to Microsoft for the whopping price of $2.5 billion. Notch explained that he was buckling under the weight of the game’s success, something that he could have never predicted when he was developing the alpha over 5 years ago. But it has now become clear that Minecraft’s success is something that new owners Microsoft didn’t predict either....

While development on the inevitable Fable 4 will surely be affected, the developer has agreed to stay on as a creative consultant for the studio’s Kinect/Fable mash-up Fable: The Journey - which, like many Lionhead games, has already enjoyed a lengthy development cycle. Over the years, especially after the success of the studio’s first console title, Fable, back in 2004, Molyneux has become a fan-favorite figurehead for the gaming industry - similar to the “celebrity” of similar designers like Cliff Bleszinski, Hideo Kojima, or Gabe Newell....

Cherry was fired after he made anti-immigrant comments during his ‘Coach’s Corner’ segment on Hockey Night in Canada. “You people…love our way of life, love our milk and honey.

For “The King,” missing three consecutive races is rare, but the 76-year-old Petty understandably needed time to himself after his wife of 55 years died March 25 after a long battle with cancer. “I am just learning to live all over again,” Petty, the seven-time Cup champion, told reporters Friday at Richmond International Raceway. Petty, co-owner of Richard Petty Motorsports and an inaugural inductee into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, returned to work this week with appearances Monday in Georgia, Tuesday in Tennessee and Wednesday in Wyoming....

Not only was PewDiePie’s Roblox id banned, but it seems Roblox has an anti-PewDiePie stance in general. It seems as though the game is suspending and warning Roblox players who create PewDiePie-related content, like “subscribe to PewDiePie” t-shirts, for example. This is apparently due to the various controversies surrounding the world famous YouTuber, specifically his video where he unknowingly recommended a channel that had been known for anti-Semitic content in the past....
