- The soon-to-launch Mars Helicopter, Ingenuity, was the brainchild of engineer Bob Balaram at NASA-JPL. Decades ago, he had the idea, wrote a proposal, built a prototype, gained support, and then had it shelved due to budget cuts. Now the 4-pound, 19-inch-tall helicopter is about to head to Mars. https://astronomy.com/news/2020/07/the-path-to-ingenuity-one-mans-decades-long-quest-to-fly-a-helicopter-on-mars 29 comments space
