118 years. That's how long it took us to go from barely getting off the ground on Earth to flying a helicopter on another planet. The Wright brothers' contraption flew for 12 seconds. Ingenuity has now completed over 60 flights on Mars, where the atmosphere is 1% as dense as Earth's. Flying there is like trying to generate lift in what we'd consider a near-vacuum. Next time your drone gets stuck in a tree, remember we have one flying around on Mars and nobody can climb up to get it.
