"A small helicopter opened a new chapter of space exploration this morning
when it lifted off the surface of Mars, marking humankind’s first powered flight
on another planet. The 19-inch-tall chopper called Ingenuity kicked up rusty red
dust as it hovered about 10 feet off the ground, turned slightly, and slowly
touched back down. The flight lasted only about 40 seconds, but it represents
one of history's most audacious engineering feats."
