Bummer. But this thing has been so inspiring. Can't wait for the next Mars copter.

    Between that or blimps on Mars and other planets, it's almost a given to have something with any new exploration. Just like rovers are so much better than a fixed location for a one-shot deal.

    A blimp doesn't seem super feasible on Mars due to the low air pressure
