As the ongoing sundial efforts have indicated, 3 of Ingenuity’s rotor blades have lost their tips while the 4th blade separated at the hub and landed on the next hill over to the west. Note the clearly visible counterweight cone on that 4th blade, which might also be missing its tip.

    I wonder if they couldn’t spin it up and see how it catastrophically destructs. Granted that’d immediately remove any benefit of static logging. But since it can’t talk directly to earth anyways… watch it with the rover while it destructs.
