| 0:00.0 | At TFL, we're making journeys safer for everyone, and that includes improving safety on London's roads. |
| 0:07.4 | That's why we and London boroughs are lowering more speed limits to 20 miles per hour, |
| 0:12.3 | because 20 miles per hour roads have already reduced collisions resulting in deaths or |
| 0:16.8 | serious injuries by 24%. That is how we're making journeys in London safer and brighter for everyone. |
| 0:24.8 | Such TFL improvement plan to the Mayor of London and TFL every journey matters. |
| 0:35.1 | This is CBS Eye in the World. I'm John Bachelor. From the surface of the planet Earth, |
| 0:39.2 | we're going to the surface of the planet Mars with Bob Zimmerman. He keeps the website behind |
| 0:43.8 | the black, and I'm a booster for Ingenuity, the brave little toaster on the surface of Mars now |
| 0:50.4 | and again, Mission 55. Successful Bob? It appears to be the Ingenuity team has not posted any |
| 0:59.7 | specific report, but they have added the flight numbers to the helicopter flight log and the |
| 1:09.6 | interactive map that is provided by the JPL team that runs Perseverance and Ingenuity. |
| 1:20.4 | They both have also been updated. I posted an update on behind the black so you can see where |
| 1:26.3 | they are relative to each other. Ingenuity has essentially flown about 800 feet to the west of |
| 1:33.2 | where Perseverance fits and a perform where Perseverance had been. It has essentially brought |
| 1:39.2 | the helicopter back to the planned route of Perseverance. If you look at my map, there's a red dotted |
| 1:47.2 | line that's where they planned initially to take Perseverance. They did a detour. They went north |
| 1:54.4 | to visit a large crater inside Jazeuro Crater and also to do all this stuff. That the helicopter |
| 2:04.0 | has been sent back towards the original plan route. Suggest that after Perseverance completes |
| 2:09.7 | the present drilling campaign, it's doing its present location, it will then move back to its |
| 2:14.5 | original plan route. That's what I think this indicates. Where is Ingenuity now? Is it the blue |
| 2:18.8 | dot or the green dot? No. The green dot is Ingenuity and the brown line shows its previous flight paths |
| 2:25.6 | and the white dotted line with the blue dot at the end shows where Perseverance is traveled |
