Other than man’s first moon landing .. This is the greatest thing we have ever accomplished!
Think about it: A helicopter flying on an alien planet!

WE have become the aliens! 🤣

This amazing news just keeps running along under the radar.

It’s no small accomplishment.

I’m in awe that the lil’ copter had to ride in Percy’s belly, and then the rover had to give birth on Mars. Bizarre stuff.

How much could have gone wrong but didn’t?

Still blows my mind we can fly an aircraft in an atmosphere that is almost a vacuum. .095 PSI vs 14 PSI at sea level on Earth. At the top of Everest, it’s 4.8 PSI.
