Wright brothers' wing fragment to take flight again on Mars

March 24 (UPI) -- A piece of cloth from the Wright brothers' first
flight in 1903 is set to become part of aviation history again -- this
time on Mars.

Carillon Historical Park, the Ohio home of the Wright Brothers
National Museum, said NASA officials got in contact in 2019 about
finding a way to connect Wilbur and Orville Wright's first successful
flight in Kitty Hawk, N.C., with the first heavier-than-air flight on
Mars.

The museum provided a small fragment of the Wright Flyer I's wing
covering to be carried aboard Ingenuity, a small helicopter attached
to the belly of NASA's Perseverance rover on the surface of the red
planet.

NASA said Ingenuity is expected to take its first flight sometime
after April 8. The flight will mark the first-ever powered, controlled
flight of an aircraft on another planet, NASA said.

The use of the Wright Flyer I's wing covering for the mission received
the blessing of Amanda Wright Lane and Stephen Wright, Wilbur and
Orville's great grand-niece and nephew.

"Wilbur and Orville Wright would be pleased to know that a little
piece of their 1903 Wright Flyer I, the machine that launched the
Space Age by flying barely one quarter of a mile, is going to soar
into history again on Mars," the family said in a statement.

A fragment from the Wright Flyer I's wing covering was previously
carried to the moon by Neil Armstrong in 1969. Another fragment was
taken into space by John Glenn during a trip on the space shuttle in
1998.

Darn fingers seem to miss a few letters every once in a while.
My line should have started with "It wasn't.."
