Friday Fun: Congratulations Ingenuity on your first flights on Mars



I want to pause and to congratulate the entire team for your work in making the 2020 Mars Rover, Perseverance and the Ingenuity helicopter a success. Imaging that, a helicopter on Mars. I have been a space flight buff since I was six, so I find this pretty exciting. The image of Ingenuity that I embedded above is courtesy of NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS.

Here are some videos courtesy of NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
