    It is unfortunate but Ingenuity is something to be celebrated. A bittersweet moment for NASA engineers and the community. It was an amazing accomplishment and a true example of the kinds of things we can accomplish. I mean, we flew a fucking drone on another planet! It’s mission was only 30 days and it lasted nearly 3 years! That’s just incredible! One day a future human will pick it up and place it in a museum for all to see with a label proudly stating “Ingenuity: The first aircraft to fly on another planet.”
