Seems like a no-brainer.

One day Elon Musk steps out of his Starship at the chopper resting site and gently slides down the ladder to the dusty ground
of Mars and then utter; one leap for man kind, one giant for me and then replaces the damaged prop blade! One day...sooon.  :phew:

The video’s parting words gave me the chills. NASA it’s once again finding its Mojo.  :-+ :-+

“Make the impossible, possible. That is what we do at NASA”.

This is stunningly good at first glance.  And gets better when you think about it.

Just what percentage of commercial RC helicopters/drones make it to 75 flights before an accident requiring repairs?  With outdoor overwinter storage.  My observations at local RC flying fields and around town would indicate that it is single digit or less.  And it is a much easier environment.
