As far as many of us know (and who knows what some folks actually know), this was the very first time that an aircraft has flown from the surface of another planet. It is anticipated that such an accomplishment will “pave the way to future interplanetary aircraft.”
Because Ingenuity weighs a mere four pounds on Earth (and only 1.5 on Mars), it can hardly carry much. Yet it’s a great jumping off point for starry hopes and dreams.
