This is not a new blockbuster movie (although I would watch it.)
When the new Mars rover, Perseverance, lands on Jezero Crater in February of 2021, it will have a passenger attached to its belly. Ingenuity is a four-pound helicopter that will eventually fly above the martian surface. Awesome.
There is an in-depth article on Universe Today if you want more details. I’m just excited that a helicopter might fly on Mars for the first time ever. I say “might” because it won’t be launched until Perseverance is running well, and there is always a chance that Ingenuity won’t fly for some reason.
I say send it up. We won’t learn anything if we don’t try.
