Next thing she'll be looping the loop. Or zooming down over Percy - which NASA won't do but I'd still love to see...

A close-up image of the rover would be priceless, and worth the rover's weight in gold for outreach purposes, but sadly something we'll only see if the helicopter gets hacked and ignores its normal flight rules imposed by JPL. I wonder what the odds of that are? ;)
