That thing is a star. I believe it can claim the first aerodynamic (non-rocket) flights of any kind on another celestrial body.
Ingenuity is a real-time living parable.
NASA keeps searching for life on Mars, even using Ingenuity as recon for Perseverance.
The jokes write themselves.
Not enough popcorn.
Who knew that Mars could provide so much entertainment. :)
The First Flight On Another World Wasn’t on Mars. It Was on Venus, 36 Years Ago
Cool as it is, Ingenuity does not mark the dawn of extraterrestrial aviation.
