    Genuinely excited to see what comes after this! Do we: A) Send these helicopters to new planets to explore even more? or B) Perfect this technology so I can get my own Mars Jetpack?

    This was actually created in Nevada. The earth is flat.

    If there is a big storm on Mars, is there a way for the helicopter to go back into Ingenuity?

    So Disappointing.Was Hoping the distance flown would equate the Wright Bros. on Dec 17 1903: 852 feet or .26 km or 260 m or 284 yards.

    Ultimate proof of concept test. Thank you ma’am for your comprehensive report on this exhilarating human achievement.

    This definitely is an historic day in America or the world but I don’t know what the point is to waste so much money on this historic project if we’re sending humans to Mars in the year 2024/2025 because of SpaceX

    • PATRICK BYTHROW

      April 20, 2021 at 1:03 am

      Waste, spend or invest? How do you define the difference?

    • Noah Murphy

      April 20, 2021 at 1:13 am

      @PATRICK BYTHROW I would like NASA to invest into technology to support human life on Mars and let SpaceX take care of the transportation not rovers because of having humankind to be multi planet species would have some perks like if something went wrong on earth the human species will not go instinct because we have already have a colony or a civilization on Mars would you agree that is a better way to spend the money?

  10. Raynold Vezina

    A waste of money.

    • PATRICK BYTHROW

      April 20, 2021 at 12:56 am

      Right? We could have created more fighter aircraft, or killer drones here on Earth. What are these scientists thinking?

    The Wrigh Brothers were not the first to fly a motorized plane, it was a German Karl Litho and the first man to fly a glider was also a German Karl Lielintal

      You are correct, the Wright Bothers were the first at “manned flight”.

    It was the Wright Flyer or just the flyer….Kitty Hawk was the location in NC. Great vid thanks CNET.

    If Mars had been smaller like the moon, it would not have enough gravity to hold an atmosphere for there to be enough air for a helicopter to fly.

      I feel sorry for those who believe every stupid conspiracy theory on YouTube over getting a real education.

    I wonder why they managed to take videos of landing on ground and a flying drone but didn’t show the best real genuine images of the space journey?

    • Hermit

      April 20, 2021 at 1:25 am

      You know why

  21. Jake M

    April 20, 2021 at 1:17 am

    The name of the plane is “Wright Flyer”, Kitty Hawk is the name of the town in North Carolina where the test flight was performed ????

    dear miss and people of CNET, please get your facts right. The wrights brothers were not the first to have a powered flight and this has been proven. The smitsonian will claim the wrights brothers were the same .. because they are obliged to by contract in order to be able to display the Wrights-brothers plane.
    Typical US … too often claiming to be the best, the first, … and no sence of true history
