Speaking of the Wright Brothers, the first machine to fly on another planet
(Ingenuity on Mars) is bearing a canvas scrap from the first powered flying
machine on Earth, the Wright's Flyer in December 2023.  Ingenuity continues
to set new records in altitude and distance flown as it accompanies
Perseverence on the rover's journey on the Red Planet.
