First to fly a powered heavier than air flight on earth (Ohio boys). Now the first to do it on another planet. 'Murica! Fuck yeah!

I loved this part:

"Ingenuity even carries a small swatch of fabric from one of the wings of Flyer 1, the aircraft that made that historic flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, more than 117 years ago."

That's so damn cool! (y)🇺🇸

I'm impressed, not as impressed as skycrane but a feat none the less with only 1% of earth's atmosphere!

I'm curious what it uses for navigation as there's no GPS and the magnetic poles are funky on Mars iirc.

Next one I hope they incorporate a charging system off the main rover for a longer mission.
