Since we have a helicopter on Mars, verify it.

Was that the one the astronauts left after they planted the flag?

I guess you do not pay much attention, and to the fact that is what they call it:

NASA lost contact with Mars helicopter Ingenuity for 15 breathless minutes

While it was indeed meant as a joke, the joke is based upon reality. 🙂

NASA conducted the 17th flight for the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter on Sunday, December 5. Everything went as planned during the helicopter’s 614-foot traverse to the northeast. However, during the final descent phase of the flight, the communications link between Ingenuity and the Perseverance Mars rover was disrupted. It appears the helicopter was able to land successfully. Approximately 15 minutes after the radio link was lost, Perseverance received packets of Ingenuity telemetry indicating the battery and flight electronics were healthy.

No, it’s the one the Germans left after they bombed Pearl Harbor.
