TIL that there’s a tiny piece of fabric installed on Ingenuity, the Mars Helicopter, that used to be a part of the original aircraft that the Wright Brothers used all those years ago. #Mars2020 #IngenuityHelicopter

Apollo 11 history! Thanks @jstpwalsh
Lovely addition to the Apollo history note
To those wondering when the first Mars helicopter *FLIGHT* will happen, it was announced yesterday that the tentative date is April 8th, 2021. Or Sol 48 for those of us working on the mission.

This photo is meaningful to my career as a planetary scientist even though I’m not affiliated with this mission in any way, and this is a short thread why. I’m quickly learning how different my experience has been and prob why it’s necessary to yell about it to the internet. 1/9
This photo was taken and released roughly 5 years ago, mid-July 2015. The first time I saw this, I remember pulling up the front page of reddit while waiting at the bank to ask them to forgive an overdraft fee because I was a really, really broke undergrad student. 2/9
I remember reading the reddit comments about what a large team it took to make this photo happen. Hours of planning, tens of people involved from all over the country. “More than 5 people total, got it.” I had no idea what it was like to plan and execute photos like this. 3/9
