It really is amazing. Especially considering how thin the air is there and how fast the rotors have to spin to compensate. Along with how much dust there is, that has t caused any mechanical issues etc.

Add to that, they basically have to write a flight path program and let er rip and hope it returns correctly. How they even orient position and direction with a minimum 15 minute lag is crazy to me.

Some of these things are a challenge to me, with direct and immediate control of my drone (albeit there are more obstacles). But just not landing on a rock or kicking up a bunch of prop wash that harms the propellers is crazy.
