At this moment there is an aircraft flying autonomously on an alien planet after having travelled 149 million miles through space to get there.
To date it has flown 50 times - the only craft to have ever done so in the 4.6 billion year history of the planet it’s on.
Now look at this photograph - a kids model airplane sitting in any high desert on earth.
Except, no.
It’s an entirely different world - Mars - and despite its appearance this craft - both the craft and how it got there - is so stunning as to approach the miraculous.
