This has been one amazing proof of concept vehicle.

No mistakes by Ingenuity so far. If it does make one, it will probably react by killing everyone who knew about it.

INCREDIBLE. Virtually no air, no real-time communication, cold as hell...and yet it flies!

How many hours of flight time before the rotors need to be refurbished?

The leading edge of the rotors takes a beating in that environment.
