This little fella is the Ingenuity. Recently delivered to Mars with its big brother the rover Perseverance. It was deployed from Perseverance a few days ago but had some technical glitches. Well NASA got those sorted and today, for the first time in history we flew on another planet.
It might seem small, for 40 seconds it flew ten feet up, hovered, then safely landed itself. But it's the first step in a new era of exploration.
How cool is that!
And as a side note, this isn't some artist rendering or Earth picture. This was taken by Perseverance on Mars.
That's pretty cool too.
