Mars Science Laboratory Launch

[karizma249]

Why have only 250k people watched this? This is the pinnacle of humanity's hard sciences. Forget finding life, LOOK AT THAT. IT GOES TO SPACE. AHHHHH

[conversebuddy93]

@karizma249 So true.

[hardstyle905]

Curiosity will arrive August 5 2012 in Mars orbit. Mark this day in your calendar!

[hadith04]

RON PAUL will cut this programs. :-)

[MasterRegal]

I assume the MARDI instrument will provide video of the descent. That will be awesome. It will be great to see this video live on TV as NASA sees it and not after the fact.

[farco27]

go MSL go ! :)

[DefiantTiger]

9 disliked because they wanted to see a manned mission to mars.

[MIDNAq1LINK]

Can't wait!

[juki311]

what camera you use ?

[AbartsWorld]

I'm happy to see Nasa is doing something useful again.

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

@AbartsWorld What do you mean "useful again"? They do useful things 24/7, 365 a day.

[ErikoWalker]

Nice...

I want go to mars...

[cpbishurr]

No one cares about the Russians.

[khunopie]

Justin Bieber disliked this video 9 times!

[Hawkclan1]

YOUTUBE IS WEIIIIRD

[dancraggs]

We gonna be seeing 1080p footage from you guys any time soon? I know NASA TV is only 720, but YouTube isn't ;-)

[Rikgol1]

9 dislikes , because are from mars and dont want to be explored

[dhockey63]

why havent more people seem this? Id rather see this on the news than stupid slut kardashian or pot head cyrus

[teesmit2626]

I saw that launch on my flight back from the Bahamas!!

[alexk101488]

They should have had Frau Farbissina for the initial countdown 

[joujou264]

WTF? Who launched this, Nasa can't be it, they don't have any money left. Obama stated that their gonna pick Nasa up again in 2016 or so.

[COPAMUND99]

Looks like some "Martians" dislike harsh!!!

[ThePlayingZebra]

9 People are living at Mars

[SuperWhatsupguy]

wow , there are alot easyer ways to get to space , and cheaper. i think the "Key" to space is minning, and makeing money ,or fual / other things. and really this hole mission is a wasta. there no point if theres "life" ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY

[laserfloyd]

@SuperWhatsupguy There are easier ways to get into space? Not yet. It requires a lot of energy for starters. Even if you have that, you're lost without guidance systems. If it were easy we'd be living on the Moon or Mars already.

[MCSKeelar]

@SuperWhatsupguy All about money? You are an idiot. It's about science and to find out if there is life outside of earth(probably is). If we don't ever go to Mars we will have the same story as the dinosaurs. Who cares if none of us will be around when it happens, it's all about the future. I don't care if humans on earth get wiped out 500 years after I'm dead, we NEED another planet in case another dinosaur like extinction happens. It's a very bad thing to have all of our species on one planet.

[kuvic09]

jeez, exhaust... every heard of a prius?

[laserfloyd]

@kuvic09 Just so happens that breaking free of Earth's gravity takes a substantial amount of energy. It's worth it. For science!

[nopethegeek]

is there life on maaaaaaars!

[thejoseandresshow]

9 people dislike this??? ???

[Bionikskill]

@thejoseandresshow soviets...noobs..

[TheMarkAvreliy]

@thejoseandresshow 9 marsians dislike this

[EpikaDenU]

@thejoseandresshow martians

[gigiraducanu]

@thejoseandresshow

14 people likes because 9 people dislikes this ?

[1985wclark]

@thejoseandresshow don't worry we've got people taking care of them. Won't happen again.

[T2000Terminator]

@thejoseandresshow ..they're martians!

[Skaarjguy]

@thejoseandresshow I bet those people work in Congress. Have you seen how much they keep cutting out of their budget?

[johnjaksic61]

Beautiful Launch and looks almost flawless!

Good Job JPL and NASA!

[MrMeco13]

This is telescope or camera recording ?

[ethalin]

The bird at 00:17.... HELL NO!

[SquabTheBlob]

My son worked on the Rover and told me Lego paid a huge amount of money for a lightweight life size lego man to be seated in the control seat of the Rover

[MrSuperCris]

Blah

[DHLaShomb]

YA BABY!!! Do good work!

[latinluigi]

Hopefully it hasn't been a total failure like that one Russian was.

[timskeezy07]

When is it expected to reach Mars?

[mrmojorisin9999]

@timskeezy07 This i read 18 months somewhere.

[mrmojorisin9999]

@timskeezy07

8 months!

[HamayunShah]

@timskeezy07 around 8 months would my guess be...

[TheHotelMoxa]

@timskeezy07 5~ 6 August 2012

[dCboi447]

7,6,54321!!!!

[Patricklima2323]

I believe these people must think that GOD the Creator is crazy for making humans according to His image . Or maybe there's another god that came up with extraterrestrial life just to complicate the hole shit ?

Oh wow now I'm confused :^\

[jimbrace1]

My gawd how much zoom does that camera have 0_0

[buzai5]

Three most cool things in the World for me before

1 ))))) Jordan--the super star

2 ))))) 66cheap. com--the cheapest shopping site

3 ))))) the iphone -- best connector

NOW THERE'S ONE MORE, IT'S THE VIDEO ABOVE!!!!!!!!!!

[pitlock96]

10000000x optical zoom

[Hist0ryMaker]

when is this expected to reach mars

[Urisihapai]

I've always wanted to know: what high-tech equipment does NASA employ against trolls?

[scisslehannd22]

the size comparison to other previous mars rovers is absolutely astonishing. NASA is testing their luck in this one. it has to be so precise and accurate with only 1 shot to blow

[diditcuy]

Can we Life on mars now.

[rnyy123]

when will curiosity reach mars?

[HaloMediaz]

the zoom is sick :)

[SkullJoke90]

Well there's 30 billion dollars you'll never see again.

...btw didn't U.S use have this problem with debt to other countries? No? Oh okay my bad.

[TehJedicake]

Wait I thought NASA was done

[Qb3ify]

Does anyone know if any of the Mars rovers have ever met up?

[MrShanecruz7]

What is the MPG on this rocket? :o

[TheCleoWee]

NASA should build a space core life the one in Portal 2 and send it to space with a GLaDOs controlled rover.

[JosephStalin11]

Beautiful!

[lmvks]

I can't wait until we colonise Mars, I hope it's in my lifetime.

[GanjaNlove]

I wonder how or where they divert all that heat and hotness from the rocket. A second before lift off, it appears that water is sprayed into that gas & fumes mix gushing out from the outlet to the right...

[samson19541]

Feed My People food bank is going to be very short this Christmas and billions of dollars used to dig some dirt and scrape some rocks on a planet so far away it doesn't really matter what they do there. But me thinks they are seeding Mars with some primordial ooze to try to play god in the hopes something will carry on their baloney legacy after we are long extinct?

[EvanBurnetteMusic]

@pablodela41 They should call it EPIC LAUNCHTIME and put some EPIC MUSIC with it.

[VenetianFaces]

VIVA RUSIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LP640Murcielago]

holy shit! you can see the rocket in space with the zoom from that camera... that is absolutly INSANE! im guessing though that that shot before the end is right as it breaks out of the atmosphere. still incredible footage, cant imagine how much zoom that camera has, you can see the boosters break off in space and stuff. dam....

[jandean61]

MAKE ROCKET GO NOW !

[nagenramanunk]

there is life on other planets far far away but life on mars? not gonna happen...

[MagicBlackx]

Jeez, this missile is powered by marijuana or is it just me?

Look at the big smoke that makes ......

:O

[Terri2799]

Seeing this makes me wish that i could be around to see the lift off when people are actually on board for the first flight to mars.

[MasonPArmy]

That looks like a GIANT....

[apocolyx]

hey everybody go type in living on mars on youtube. the video "Living On Mars - National Geographic Channel" shows how its possible to live on mars through terraforming.

[L3evyy]

for volume press f13

[oliveira18011976]

QUE DESPERDÍCIO DE DINHEIRO,MILHÕES DE PESSOAS PASSANDO FOME PELO MUNDO TODO E FICAM LANÇANDO FOGUETES NO ESPAÇO SOMENTE PARA SATISFAZER AS CURIOSIDADES DO HOMEM,LAMENTÁVEL.

[siriusesmind]

Cant wait to see some HD mars pics/vids i just really hope it lands safe, that whole rocket crane business looks quite situational.

[PNicOLOL]

POrque que não deu pra ver a terra la de cima que estranho

[siriusesmind]

Cant wait to see some HD mars pics/vids i just really hope it lands safe, that whole rocket crane business looks quite situational.

[HoppyWalkthrough]

Who would dislike this video... it is AMAZING!

[siriusesmind]

Cant wait to see some HD mars pics/vids i just really hope it lands safe, that whole rocket crane business looks quite situational.

[djcrazyrock]

Hands down, the best footage I've seen on a launch.

[xkoNviikTeD]

@NASAKennedy how does that grass stay green after all that !!?

[TheK20a]

this is all bull shit its all top secret they already made contact with extra torrential life how do i know? just watch the movie Paul.

[toocoolforu]

I've watched the curiosity webcams since the beginning, and the launch live. Good luck curiosity team! I would be glad it discovers something extraordinary, this rover bears my name on its chip!

[YoungWolfMaster]

Seeya in the space winner's circle, Russia!

[SamuraiM0]

The got a live camera on the rocket?

If so where can I watch it?

[Nyamka28]

Я снимаю нах.

[KCL1013]

i thought something went wrong and it was going back down! camera tricks....

[richtux1978]

What if they find 'life' on Mars some kind of single cell thing or bacteria - whoopee doo were still all going to be up to our eyeballs in debt with crap economies!

[lukassnakeman]

who gets to push the ignition button

[u2deadable]

when will it arrive to mars?

[DavidBizkit]

when is it coming back?

[Gehirnesser]

Naat naat nat nat

Gotta love Mars Attack

[Michael0697]

@NASAKennedy

Beautiful. And it's a lot smaller than the shuttle but it will go a lot farther. A question with the larger cylindrical part towards the top of the rocket, is that holding solely the Mars Probing Rover or the fuel tank, or both? Thanks. Good luck on Mars & good luck on the next generation of shuttles.

[fauxman]

I want to be in space before I die... :(

[battossai1]

yep

[battossai1]

Thank you Germany

[BukkakeNation]

i want chocolate from mars

[TheCanto500]

All I see is pollution :(

[watkinsproject]

It was a pleasure to have worked with the brilliant minds on this project. Congratulations to their efforts and vision.

[TheHamdog1]

aliens are real if you dont believe it ur stupid

[steelers3247]

BOOM IT BLOWS UP

[TheHamdog1]

Im sure that there is intelligent alien life out there just do some research on youtube there is plenty of infomation on the subject the goverment and nasa already know about aliens i mean why do we know that mars is a wasteland because thats what they tell us the question is when are they gonna tell us

[TheHamdog1]

Im sure that nasa and the goverment already know about other life beyond earth just look up all the infomation about aliens and mars on youtube we only think there is nothing on mars cause thats what they tell us

[JimmMyHero]

awesome. Tho i would prefer research on Europa or Titan

[polytoxin1]

Have you video about how the rover travels on Mars surface already finished?

[polytoxin1]

Not bad for country with over $15.000.000.000.000 national debt.

Good luck from Russia :*

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@polytoxin1

Good luck with your dictator.

[UniqueYoshi]

@polytoxin1 hahaha that made me laugh man that made my day thanks :D

[daberko120ch]

@polytoxin1 We can accually afford our debt, which even though we have the highest amount of debt, we are not bad in debt.

[BrazilianJJKid]

@polytoxin1 just freeze ur ass off for us

[JoefelGo]

@polytoxin1 We are America, We are not in debt, we borrow money and make other countries go in debt, United We Stand, and Laugh at the fallen.

[6production9]

@polytoxin1

Not bad for country with best navy in the world.

Good luck from US ;*

[GanjaNlove]

@polytoxin1 LOL, yes you make me laugh hard bro. Dont get me started on what kind of problems YOUR country has to deal with, for example that widespread poverty affecting like thirty percent of Russia´s people... and your corrupt government, probably the worst in the world! And im not even from the States.

[Crack3044]

@polytoxin1 What else are we going to spend all the money we don't actually have on? :)

[nolifedotcom]

@polytoxin1 funny guy:P

[turnfootsherlock]

@polytoxin1 russia whats that

[vortexx76]

@polytoxin1 Our national debt has nothing to do with our space program. You might like to think it does because of the information that you're fed. There are 28 other poeple who agree with you. They too are misinformed. By the way, if you're really from Russia then good luck with Phobos-Grunt...You're gonna need it.

[DHLaShomb]

@polytoxin1 How can anyone from Russia possibly comment on economy? haha....really?!!

[MrDimkur]

What kind of camera did they use to film the launch, the zoom level is insane?

[Th3Power0fMusic]

@MrDimkur

That was exactly my thought! To be able to get even a semi clear picture from how far up the shuttle was that it one powerful zoom setting!

[GotsItGoinOn]

@MrDimkur if a bug flew on that camera i'd freak out

[UniSonBBS]

@MrDimkur Its a kaleidoscope.

[anojfan1]

@MrDimkur watever that is, put that zoom on a telescope and you have NASA buyig it fro you

[MrShanecruz7]

@MrDimkur Probably a camera thats worth about 1,0000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000.99

[xStarcrafterx]

the countdown was too fast, we're all gonna die

[overTVS]

Why are you doing this? Why so much money for this? What are you trying to find?

[duracellpoo]

@overTVS moneys not an issue, in my opinion NASA doesn't receive enough funds for what they do, they hardly get 1% of the total federal expenditures.... 1%

[GanjaNlove]

@overTVS Well, perhaps out there in space, there´s somthing new to discover like, the other 99.99% of all things that ARE to discover. And have you thought about the future of Mankind? Perhaps not relevant today, but someday well have to move to space...

[BehruzR]

@overTVS dude, they do it because someday after zillion years, the earth will destroy, because of waste we throw, cars and everyday use... So please do not do mean comments to it

[Azuride]

@overTVS Little green men.

[Blovethebrat]

"life on Mars", vs Genesis 1. I am curiously anticipating the result.

Cool rocket launch though. My 11 and 7 year old enjoyed launching our rocket for $30.00.

[tooncrazy1]

@Blovethebrat Genesis 1 will win, whether they find life on Mars or not. And those $30 rockets are cool.

[MrElbenjo]

0:17 Poor bird.

[xStarcrafterx]

the countdown was too fast, we're all gonna die

[mess546]

нихеровая камера...

[RnshinyMKW]

@mess546 da ya znayu horoshoya kamera

[TheAmericanFreeBird]

hey NASA how you guys stabilize that rocket ? i cant see any tail wing or something to stabilize the whole body

[toocoolforu]

@TheAmericanFreeBird At this velocity, thrusters take care of stabilizing it.

[MsVuksan]

Could you please tell me what kind of camera was used to capture this launch from the ground ?

Thank you.

[Lend2011]

I say usually: NASA priests team has new liturgy called "Opportunity", now, it's time for the truth, there have not existed, there is not, and there will not be life in Mars, except si NASA brings it to there; in fact, due to a lot of missions already realized, it's likely that life already exists in Mars. Write down this comment please.

[fredmanjr10]

waste of money. There is not life on Mars.

[wambambola]

@fredmanjr10 Narrowminded braniac.

[OfficialUSSR]

@fredmanjr10 @overTVS dude, they do it because someday after zillion years, the earth will destroy, because of waste we throw, cars and everyday use... So plz dont do mean comments to it

[lightsodda]

I farted with excitement

[NeutralNegotiator]

What kind of fuel do they use on this rocket?Its tank has to be much smaller than the one in the space shuttle

[NASAKennedy]

@NeutralNegotiator The first stage engine runs on refined kerosene and cryogenic liquid oxygen and produces 860,000 pounds of thrust. The Centaur upper stage operates on a combination of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fuel, the same propellants the space shuttle's main engines used.

[DavidBizkit]

@NASAKennedy when is it coming back?

[callofinception]

@NASAKennedy Do you have any idea when it land on mars or can anyone tell me when will it land in mars thx alot.

[Pickuptruckdude]

@callofinception it'll reach mars on August 5, 2012

:D

[636Castle]

Just insane. In under 4 minutes we can get vehicles into space now. It takes me longer to get in my car and get to the main road from my neighborhood.

[GanjaNlove]

@636Castle ahahahaa good one

[tooumas]

put on subtitles and go to 0:57

[disengagejam]

just a few years away from living Total Recall in real life =D

[ElMaqoToro]

there goes 2.5b.......

[jumboguru]

It's a big "Curiosity".

[who8mahbacon]

all i can say is "bye bye, hope you dont end up like mars 2 and 3!"

[Carolinebeat]

Sehr schön

[morzMOV]

Keep going NASA! 

[esraretin]

why does it seem like horizontal after a while

[ztSHOCK]

lol@"Life on Mars" ... the chance for life to evolve even in the absolute best of circumstances is so remote that it nears the realm of impossibility. The universe is so young (measured in billions of years) that, statistically, life should not exist anywhere (Earth is EXTREMELY lucky, we are talking millions of times luckier than a billion-dollar jackpot winner).

[kbritu]

Here we go again !

Good luck NASA ...

[pablodela41]

Is kinda sad think this historic moment caught on video has only 87435 views and the Vazquez brothers has almost 6 millions views

[X3N4T3]

@pablodela41 this.

[DuckyLoveD2FPK]

@pablodela41 Cause not many people care about "history" because they dont think it pertains to them, they only care about what's new and nice to listen to and look at, not some boring crap they dont want to see.

@pablodela41 Very sad, indeed.
