 People are improving at flying helicopters on different planets. 

On Sunday, NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter flew for the third time, making records regarding speed and the distance it covered. NASA says the helicopter rose 16 feet (a similar elevation as Ingenuity's subsequent flight), yet it covered a distance of 164 feet, and flew at a maximum velocity of 6.6 feet each second. 

You can see the video of the trip beneath, taken by NASA's Perseverance meanderer. Notice how cool this is: A man-made meanderer is taking a video of a man-made helicopter flying on another planet. 

In the video, you'll see Ingenuity whizz out of view, however continue to watch until the finish to see it land easily on the Martian surface.
