NASA’s Perseverance Rover took a photo of its broken companion, the Ingenuity helicopter, as it sat alone on a dune.

    I mean, of course it’s alone. I’d be quite surprised if it wasn’t. Is this some sort of attempt to get us emotionally weepy about a broken drone?

          I’ve binged too many Star Wars animated series not to feel sad about broken drones left behind. ❤️🤖❤️

      “We couldn’t be prouder or happier with how our little baby has done,” said Teddy Tzanetos, Ingenuity Project Manager at JPL, during a livestreamed tribute to the helicopter on Jan. 31. “It’s been the mission of a lifetime for all of us. And I wanted to say thank you to all of the people here that gave their weekends, their late nights. All the engineers, the aerodynamic scientists, the technicians who hand-crafted this aircraft.”

      Bet JPL could invent something to get even you to care :p
