Genuinely excited to see what comes after this! Do we: A) Send these helicopters to new planets to explore even more? or B) Perfect this technology so I can get my own Mars Jetpack?

While driving home today, I said to my wife, " I can't wait to get home and see what's happening on Mars." and THAT... was the coolest thing I have ever said. :)

So, this makes Perseverance the 1st aircraft carrier in space.

Wilbur and Orville, not to mention Igor Sikorsky, had no idea how far their work would go. Literally.

The speed of humanity's progress is just mind-blowing especially when you realize we went from first controlled-powered flight on our own planet to a controlled-powered flight on another planet in just 118 years. Just. Wow.

Matt Damon must be stoked he can now get Amazon deliveries to his station in the Martian wilderness.

03:45 -- Just a point of fact: the Wright Brothers' first plane was _not_ called "Kitty Hawk"; that was the name of the township in North Carolina, where they first flew. They named their plane something rather drab, I'm afraid: "the flyer".

They’ve finally found the perfect place for Amazon drone deliveries without having to worry about the FCC regulations or air traffic! 😎

What’s amazing is that it’s ONLY been a little over 100 years between the first flight on earth and the first flight on Mars

This engineering feat is incredible. Drone and multiple ROVERS have been collecting and analyzing data over 1200+ sols. That information could mean life or death for the astronauts who eventually go there. It’s not if… it’s when. Awesome stuff.

NASA reported today the Ingenuity spotted a candy wrapper on the surface. Zooming in, it was determined to be an "earth bar".
