Makes sense that fire would need oxygen. There is no aptmosphere there right ? I wonder if one could be created?The article says there was a fire created by the landing. I did the obligatory googling to find that Martian atmosphere cannot support fire nor combustion. So that side effect might be less concerning than I once thought.
The average person has no idea how impressive this really is.
Here are a couple of historical a/c that were able to vertically take off and land long before computers were there to keep them stable. Neither went into production, but still damned impressive for the mid 50s. It took the Brits and the Harrier to make VTOL a/c practical.I wouldn't call it impressive. I would call it impossible.
