Not only has it proven that flight is possible on another planet, but the spacecraft was only designed to complete five flights, and now it has completed a total of 70th, setting even more records as it goes...learning how to navigate those atmospheres can prove exceptionally useful for future spacecraft development...Ingenuity is working against all odds...It's unclear exactly how long the Mars helicopter will continue to fly."
