"The spacecraft @NASAPersevere is currently transmitting heartbeat tones — these tones indicate that Perseverance is operating normally."

Last night I laid back under the nighttime sky lights, & looked. They were bright in the dark sky & I liked that very much. Today the big daytime light is shining bright too & I like it a lot! I feel like rain is about to come and my hair will be wet, not liked as much. #Bigfoot
Lately I’ve been in the wild mostly. I have been from the northern lakes, through the grasslands and into the southern mountains. My hair is longer and I feel free. Yesterday was my birthday. I really enjoyed the day! I can’t stay bound up in society. It hurts my soul. #Bigfoot
Is autopilot dangerous?
How about some facts? 1st quarter, 2019:
1 accident every 2.87 million miles when Autopilot engaged
1 accident every 1.76 million miles in Teslas w/o autopilot engaged
1 accident every 436,000 miles for all cars
