It's high time we redefined "exploration:". It should NOT be about being big - drawing a map of something named after your sponsor, planting a flag, being "first". It should be about being small: sitting inside a system/place and learning how it works with humility, looking at the way it does things, not at what we see most easily or want to see. A map is not the end goal of exploration. It's just the tool that tells you where the starting point could be.

I first learned about the then-upcoming Ingenuity mission when I met NASA's Dave Lavery in Houston with an FLL Junior robotics team I was coaching in 2020. That remains one of my robotics highlights.
