NASA’s history-making Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has ended its mission at the Red Planet after surpassing expectations and making dozens more flights than
imagery of its Jan. 18 flight sent to Earth this week indicates one or more of its rotor blades sustained damage during landing, and it is no longer capable of flight.
Why rip? Did it crash?
Rtfa. It’s literally the second sentence.
What article? I’m only getting an image
Sorry. I fixed it. For some reason when I added the image it removed the link I had.

I think Lemmy posts can be a link XOR an image, not both. You can always put links it the body text though, as I see you have done now.
Does this post link to an article? Just showing as an image in Liftoff.
Odd. I’m on kbin so I can’t say what it looks like elsewhere but it’s a direct link for me.

I’m seeing that now. Definitely wasn’t there before though. That’s pretty typical for Lemmy.

Its rotors were damaged on its last landing and it is now incapable of flight though it is still in communication with NASA.
