    Best helicopter ever. What a phenomenal feat of engineering, management, and scientific vision! That it flew at all was outright wonderful. That it became a new tool to continue to help a larger mission was downright amazing.

    Great work NASA, engineers, scientists, and leaders. You’ve exceeded expectations once again.

      I dunno’, if you saw all that testing… Granted, it had to survive the trip, too, but it was an impressive piece of kit from the start. If it survived, that thing was definitely flying.

      and holy cow did it survive.
