Good Bye Ingenuity Mars Helicopter

<< < (3/7) > >>

rdl:
When I first heard about this project, I thought they were a bit crazy and didn't see any point. Now I think it's likely that all future Mars Rovers will be accompanied by at least one or two "Little Buddies". Good job.

Makes me think about if there was life on mars what the last creatures there were, if it had a atmosphere for a short period of time. some kind of crab like things come to mind. There is just something very earth like about that picture........ it seems like the same thing you would see to change your tire in the desert some where on earth. uncanny

There is absolutely no way, from the picture above, to tell where it comes from indeed. No way to tell for sure that it's not been taken on Earth, for instance.
There's no way to tell much of anything from a single picture anyway.

normally the outer space pictures usually feel like there is something off about them

One would presume that Ingenuity was roughly scouting the route ahead when it came down.  If so, the Perseverance rover should eventually reach Ingenuity's location, maybe take a picture of the surroundings to examine any ground impact damage.

That would be really cool. Big PR value there.
