A photo of a robotic helicopter on Mars, hovering above its rover, with the caption "Lookin' Fly"

The best thing about rereading book drafts is finding out that I once referenced Mars robot helicopter memes that NASA was trying to push (with the hashtag #thanksingenuity).

And fortunately the Wayback Machine preserved all this.

Barely visible in this glorious landscape, we can still see the little Martian helicopter Ingenuity stranded in the dunes

Before driving off, NASA's Perseverance rover took this picture of Ingenuity perched on a sand dune in the distance.

So long, little friend. You made everyone proud.

We’re feeling a little sad over here about Ginny’s abrupt retirement—my 11 year old, especially, was a big fan.

End of the journey for Ingenuity. youtu.be/6iNnNUDdHSk #NASA #JPL #ThanksIngenuity

Pour le petit hélicoptère martien #Ingenuity, c’est fini.
Après 72 vols (presque 15 fois plus que prévu), une dégradation du rotor le cloue au sol.
Quel succès et quelles images🤩
Merci Ingenuity, bravo aux équipes du #NASAJPL 👏

After Three Years on Mars, NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter Mission Ends NASA has proven powered, controlled flight is possible on other worlds, just as the Wright brothers proved it was possible on Earth.

Tras 72 vuelos, Ingenuity nos dice "adiós". En el último aterrizaje se dañó una de las palas, por lo que no volverá a despegar.

Teniendo en cuenta que sólo tenía previsto 5 vuelos, ha superado cualquier expectativa.

Hasta siempre, Ingenuity.

#NASA's historic Ingenuity Helicopter has taken its last flight on Mars.

After 72 incredible flights, that remarkable helicopter flew farther and higher than we ever thought possible.

Very sad news tonight, #thanksIngenuity for the 72 flights 😭

Sad that the mission of #Ingenuity has come to an end. Happy about the great achievements that little helicopter has accomplished, and the glimpse into the future of planetary exploration it provided. #ThanksIngenuity

🔭 Ingenuity is gone, after years of being the best helicopter we could've ever sent to Mars. 🥲 #ThanksIngenuity
