What's this?

Helicopter on Mars? Isnt that like trying to land a whirleybird on Everest?


Really thin atmosphere on Mars. Comments to video claim the drone's propellers have to beat ten times faster on Mars to get any lift. And that's even considering the drone on Mars weighs one-third of what it does on Earth.
