WATCH: NASA's Helicopter Has it's 'Wright Brothers' Moment

NASA's Ingenuity Helicopter has it's very own 'Wright Brother's' moment as it takes it first flight on the red planet. It's carbon-fiber wings started spinning and the 4lb helicopter, lifted off from the surface of Mars. This so wild that we can fly a helicopter on another planet. Ingenuity life about ten feet off the ground, it hovered, turned and touched back down, all that in about 30 seconds. NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab didn't get the good of the successful flight until 3 hours later, after the data traveled 178 million miles back to earth. Check it out in high resolution below.
