Ingenuity is the science world’s baby. We ooh and ahh as it accomplishes a lot of firsts and everyone is obsessed with its progress. But sadly Ingenuity has to navigate the Mars surface almost entirely alone.

Its latest milestone came in the form of its seventh successful flight Wednesday. There’s more to come as the helicopter improves its mobility every time it takes to the Martian air.
