Great PR 

This article demonstrates how NASA's Mars-based helicopter, Ingenuity, is great PR for the agency and its scientists.  Since PR is more of what you do than what you say, Ingenuity with each flight proves the skills and knowledge of NASA's engineers and scientists.  There was concern from the beginning that the helicopter couldn't leave the ground in Mar's thin atmosphere, so it was built with high-speed counter-rotors that proved to be the answer for sustaining flight.  Since it takes 10 minutes to communicate one way with the machine, scientists built in automated instructions, which have worked perfectly.  Now the tiny flyer is serving as a scout for the much bigger rover on which it was transported from earth to Mars. What could be better PR than that?
