The link in the header goes to NASAs flight log, which includes that Ingenuity travelled from Airfield T to Airfield U, but doesn't include the summary detail.

No actual announcements or news articles have appeared yet. The wiki page history shows that this was updated today.

Happy Flag Day, and Happy 76th Birthday, President Trump!

Well, I, for one, hope it was piloted by a non-binary, black, indigenous hermaphrodite with 11 toes, who worships allah.

Otherwise, it’s all racist.

Whoever was the first guy to say; “I wonder if we could make a helicopter fly on Mars?”, that person is a real hero for thinking WAY outside the box! For all of the times I have disparaged NASA for its numerous omissions and compromises, these probes, satellites, landers and rovers have been their shining achievements to which we can now add this incredible INGENUITY!

KUDOS!

I shudder to think of the horrid future of humanity, had we not gone forward to prove a drone can fly on mars!! There is truly hope again.

Well done NASA!

Ingenuity.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious ****.

I previously read about a piece of equipment on Mars that is threatened with running out of power due to dust on the solar panels. Perhaps they could run this drone over the equipment and blow off the dust.
