TL;DR Summary

NASA's Perseverance rover has discovered the damaged Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, unable to fly again after a rough landing. The extraterrestrial chopper sits alone in a valley, its final resting place among the Martian desert's sandy terrain. Ingenuity made history as the first craft to achieve powered, controlled flight on another planet, flying 72 times before its accident. Its legacy proves that flight on Mars is possible, potentially paving the way for aerial exploration in the future.
