NASA's Historic Achievement on Mars with the Ingenuity Helicopter

NASA made history by successfully flying the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, marking the first time humans have achieved powered flight on another planet. Weighing just four pounds, Ingenuity faced the challenge of flying in Mars' thin atmosphere, a feat showcasing NASA's pioneering spirit.
