"NASA has now announced that it has lost contact with the (Mars) helicopter, though it’s unclear how serious this problem is." "NASA lost communication with the helicopter in the summer of last year, so it may be that communications with the helicopter can be re-established. It’s also possible that the Perseverance rover, which is nearby but currently out of sight of the helicopter, could drive over to perform a visual inspection to find out more about the helicopter’s status."

No need, simply turn the power off for 30 seconds and turn it on.
Good to go.

It only took you ten calls to Tech Support to finally get past voice-tree HELL (”Your call is very important to us. Tell me in a few words why you are calling”) and reach Rajiv who gave you that excellent advice. Right?

On heck of an EV!
“the 4-pound, 19-inch-tall helicopter has set three records. In early October, it set a new altitude record by soaring 79 feet (24 meters) above the red planet’s surface, and a short while later it reached a record speed of 22.4 mph (10 meters per second) during its 62nd flight, comfortably exceeding its previous speed record of 17.9 mph (8 m/s).”< “https://www.digitaltrends.com/space/nasas-mars-helicopter-did-something-never-done-before/“>

What, no more imagined significance with each flight?

It was a great technical achievement, to be sure.

I hope Marvin left his Illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator at home.

Did it have a color camera to facilitate producing exciting and enticing travelogue videos?
