When NASA added a drone named Ingenuity to its Mars 2020 rover Perseverance, it expected the tiny four-pound helicopter to fly a total of five very brief missions in the thin Martian atmosphere. But Ingenuity far surpassed all expectations, flying dozens of flights before suffering damage to its rotors in January.

At 68 years old, and after about 100 films and 16 seasons on "The View," Whoopi Goldberg thinks there's still part of her you do not know. She's penned a memoir, "Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me," which she calls a "thank you" to her late mother, Emma, and late brother, Clyde. Goldberg talks with correspondent Seth Doane about her remarkable path, from a housing project in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, to a retreat overlooking a peninsula on the island of Sardinia.

The hit CBS drama "Blue Bloods" is set to end this year, but there's been pushback on that, most notably from star Tom Selleck, who over 14 seasons has played the head of the NYPD (and the head of a very headstrong family). He talks with correspondent Tracy Smith about his desire to continue "Blue Bloods"; about his pioneering '80s crime show "Magnum, P.I.," which put him on the map (and which kept him from playing Indiana Jones); and how he got Frank Sinatra his last acting gig.
New York Times bestselling author and humorist A.J. Jacobs is back with another chronicle of an immersive experiment. As recounted in his new book, "The Year of Living Constitutionally," Jacobs spent a year exploring the language and history of our nation's founding document and amendments, sometimes with a musket in tow. He talked with CBS News' John Dickerson about the Constitution's balance of powers, created to protect against a tyrant; the logistics of petitioning the government; and the joys of writing with a quill pen.
