Does NASA still possess the means to get said helicopter to Mars?

Can they get astronauts to the ISS?
Do they have an extra set of space tools for the women astronauts?

I know this is remarkable, and just like manned lunar landings, the gravity of it all has yet to sink in.

“a new rotor that could be used with next-generation Mars helicopters was recently tested at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, spinning at near-supersonic speeds (0.95 Mach).”

It had better be well-balanced: mass-wise and aerodynamically!
