TIL the Ingenuity - the little martian helicopter that could, parked for good after a hard landing and no longer able to communicate with the Perseverance rover that's rolled over the horizon - got one last software update patch saying, "once a day, wake up, take one picture, measure everything you can and go back to sleep."
