Re: Final images of Ingenuity reveal an entire blade broke off the helicopter
How did one blade break off and the others get damaged?
Accidental bird strike?
Surely a fall from 40 feet would leave the helicopter in worse position, it looks like it had a controlled landing.
Strange...

I imagine plastics and resins will break down faster without protections of a atmosphere.
