NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter has made another flight on Mars. This was the 10th time their little craft has flown on the red planet taking pictures and video as it goes along. The previous flight broke records for the longest flight duration, fastest cruise speed, and nearly quadrupled the distance flown between two airfields. 10 flights is twice the number of flights that NASA originally planned for the drone.

 

Athletes at the Olympic Games have been reminded not to hug each other on the podium during the medal presentations. They have been told to keep their distance with others during the ceremony, with masks being worn at all times at all events, both indoor and outdoor. However, the International Olympic Committee has allowed 30-seconds for athletes to remove their masks to pose for photographs with their medals. They say that action will be taken against athletes who disregard the rules.

 

Jennifer Lopez has finally made it official that she has rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck.

Reports suggest they both want to be ‘involved’ in each other’s children’s lives.
