I wonder why they chose to use Kernel 3.4 on the helicopter (https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/personalizing-your-profile#list-of-qualifying-repositories-for-mars-2020-helicopter-contributor-badge https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-yo...). I wonder if they'll ever upgrade the kernel aboard -- it seems like they can do upgrades, given they have Python 3.9.2 aboard.
An aside -- I'm surprised how much Python is aboard. It seems like they're using Python + OpenCV for something. I'm particularly surprised by Boto. Perhaps this is the beginning of the newest AWS region -- mars-1.
