So I'm just curious, how big of a challenge is it to get this helicopter in the air, considering mars' Atmos is only 6 millibars?

It was a huge challenge. There's a really good video out there on the challenges the team faced. I'll see if I can find it, but if anyone else has the link please share it here :)
