The amazing part is not Mars. It’s ANY helicopter flying 40 flights over two years with no maintenance, no annual inspections, etc... All I can conclude is that the FAA has no Martian jurisdiction.
Her name is her mission! Spinning Big...
Ingenuity -- the life on Mars everyone's been looking for all of this time. Location: Jezero ("Lake") Crater.
Ingenuity is a word hydrophilic with Yankee.
Yankee ingenuity characterizes an attitude of make-do with materials on hand. It is inventive improvisation, adaptation and overcoming of shortages of materials.
Which reminds me (don't mind me -- I'm kind of excited that the flight went on the date I suspected it would)...
Percy's "Sol 681" [סול = 96, sol] as the two are interlinked:
96 + 681 = 777
As you can see from the logo posted up-thread, there's truly somebody for everyone. It plainly reveals that even Mars (Mars!) got his very own MRS to love. (*sniff*)
Now that couldn't have happened anywhere on planet Earth.
