#MarsHelicopter has safely flown to a new location! Ingenuity flew for 130.9 seconds and traveled about 380 meters before landing at a spot that will set up a series of future reconnaissance flights to help @NASAPersevere in its search for ancient microbial life.

Ingenuity has become a star!!
Ingenuity leads the way
Never doubted you.
“This is your traffic report ‘Eye in the Sky’ for the Thursday afternoon commute. Traffic is generally light along the Jezero Crater Expressway. There’s a minor light-cycle delay near the Bradbury Visitor Center. Winds aloft are light at 15 MPH. Current temps are a balmy -14 F°. Next report in 15.”

That thing is a star. I believe it can claim the first aerodynamic (non-rocket) flights of any kind on another celestrial body.
I stopped seeing pictures. So my interest has faded.
It’s nice to see ingenuity in operation.
