NASA's first flight on another planet

NASA pulled off the first "off planet Earth" flight EVER today! They were able to get their Mars helicopter, named Ingenuity, off the ground for a short period of time. IT'S SOOOOO COOL!!!! Legit we flew to another planet and then flew ON that planet! And apparently not a lot of people thought it could be done because of the "whispy air". MiMi Aung, the project manager of Ingenuity at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said, “There is so little air.” The atmosphere on Mars is basically the equivalent of flying at 100 thousand feet here on Earth. NASA for the win!
