Why don't they call it a Drone instead of a Helicopter? They blades will need to be very large to get a grip in the low gas atmosphere!
We weren't happy just polluting Earth?
Also, how are they going to get a helicopter out there this fast? Time warp!
Why bother? What a dumb idea.
I just wish them luck!
I just read that there is a small swatch of fabric from the original Wright Brother's airplane on the drone.
