Today In Space

Remembering NASA's Ingenuity & the Influence of the 1st Powered Flights on Earth & another World


Listen Later

On this episode, we remember the 3 year journey of the Ingenuity Helicopter on Mars, which now has a broken rotor and is unable to fly safely anymore. We discuss how influential the Martian Helicopter was by obliterating it's original 30-day life span and providing miles of coverage inside of Jezero Crater. We discuss some facts on the first powered flight on another world, and close up with a discussion around the Wright Brothers and how influential their R&D efforts were to a young, eager to learn Engineer (me!). 

Come for the Ingenuity drone talk, and stay for the Space Storytime! Thank for joining us, and welcome to Today In Space
