Now let's see how it does on it's second attempt to lift off.
This image from NASA’s Perseverance rover shows the agency’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter right after it successfully completed a high-speed spin-up test. It was captured by the Mastcam-Z instrument on Perseverance on April 16, 2021 (the 55th sol, or Martian day, of the rover’s mission). The image has been slightly processed (stretched and cropped).

As they would say, "the third time is the charm".

Lots of talking, lots of face masks, lots of air high fives.
It looks like it took off easily enough. Plenty of power and lift.
