Mars Spacecraft that Could

[YppolitKorrektny]

Очень красиво! Вода есть! 555+++ Хочу туда! :)

[mypokemonisawesome]

If there really were water on Mars, I wonder how it taste like.

[MrLewooz]

@mypokemonisawesome water?

[MasterOfSpacetime]

Really you all behave like virusus and I am your host and I will not let you off the planet to spread like a virus. you have been contained here for extermination. You all have been placed under quarintine. Use your brain and understand this simple concept the quicker the better. The more you resist the more painful it will be for you and I suffer it well.

[LithiumLogica]

The commercial I saw... before this video... was for the new Anthony Hopkins movie... "inspired by a true story"... really? Possession by a demon? True story? Ugh.

[ganteng133]

our solar system is gay and lame. we only have 1 planet like earth, the rest are just crap and boring. i bet there are solar systems out there that has at least 5 earths like planets in 1 solar system

[fishingplmouth]

Its very interesting reading what everyone has to say on here. A lot of you realy seem to be switched on. I wonder if anyone can answer this for me. On 18th Jan 2011 at about 19:10 I had my first look at the moon through a "quality amature" telescope. It was fantastic. During one of my turns to take a look, I saw what looked like a small round shape moving across the face of the moon. Any ideas? Could it just have been an illusion? Thanks, Ed. (this is a genuine question!)

[MrKaon]

what is the name of sound track?

[Octstorm]

Love this!

[rontayan]

@scotash You man want to visit the NASA web site and review your facts. They seem to be incorrect.

[MoonarEclipse]

(continued)- then we could make water vapor and somehow replenish the planet with water and plants and take care of it and... live on it, because we can't very well live on earth if it's tempurature is ranging from 120-600°C

oh and i just realized i made a typo

i meant mars in my last comment, sorry :P

[MoonarEclipse]

could we live on mas in the future?

i assumed since way in the future... like... WAY way in the future... the sun would grow and expand and envelope mercury.... leaving venus in it's place... and bake the earth... leaving mars in earth's place.. due to the fact that the sun has grown

so the sun would practically be giving mars the same heat and the same light as it where(is) giving to us

so that would mean mars would get enough sunlight.. and if we could create some kind of atmosphere then

[rontayan]

@MoonarEclipse I like your thinking however your Science is a bit off. The only reason we cannot live on Mars right now is due to the lack of atmosphere. The planet's distance from the sun is not an issue as Venus, Earth, and Mars are in the habitable zone or in layman's terms the Goldilocks zone. So what would be needed is a stronger magnetic field generated on Mars to trap more oxygen. Once you trap that gas, you can bring plants in. Once you have plants you can support human life.

[MoonarEclipse]

@rontayan

but is there a way to make a stronger magnetic feild?

[rontayan]

@MoonarEclipse In theory perhaps. Currently the technology isn't available as of yet. However in the future maybe you will be the one to create the technology that will make it possible. Remember anything is possible.

[MoonarEclipse]

@rontayan

:>

[holasoyorlando]

I could watch this all day :)

[shoa31]

Once I get to Mars, I would make the soil fertile and grow lots of weeds. Use the fiber to make clothing materials and paper.

[garuga0777]

reactivate the core!

[animelover1560]

At 0:49 it looks like south america

[elmondark]

orgasmic :)

[DeadStarsShine]

Make it habitatable already. Send some explosives, melt the ice, send robots to plant plants to make oxygen. Make a thick layer of gas so we can be warm and have an ozone layer.

[LanaV6]

I don't think I can ever get tired of seeing pic's of the planets. So beautiful. So mysterious.

[nebnubs]

just curious, has Odyssey ever photographed the Cydonia area with the "face"?

[Mexymillion]

never knew mars had beautiful blue mountains. sweet!

[TheAtheistAllegiance]

The USA should race to put the first man on Mars.

[leaf16nut]

@TheAtheistAllegiance

lol, the USA should race to get their budget on track...

[TheAtheistAllegiance]

@leaf16nut

NASA accounts for less than 1% of the current budget. If you want to deal with budgetary matters, slash defense spending and reform healthcare -- don't focus on space programs.

[SovietNinjah]

@TheAtheistAllegiance To me I don't care what country they are from. It would be the first human to ever step on another planet other than Earth. That alone would be such a feat. Although I'm interested more in the exploration of planets outside our solar system I think it is imminent that we will one day colonize Mars. It may be a long time but I truly believe that one day we will get there. I would hope that I will live to the day when that happens.

[majstor037]

[korzen321]

It gave me a thrill ;)

Love Mars.

[robertc009]

arnold schwarzenegger put me off living on mars

[aGodsky]

WOW! Rocks... o_O

[evensgrey]

This is, in fact, typical; of one of the two ways US missions to Mars go: Either the entire mission fails very early on, or it runs far beyond its' intended design lifetime. (The other excellent recent examples of how far beyond design lifetime things can run are Spirit and Opportunity. Designed for just over 90 days of operation, Spirit lasted 6 years and might still be operational, and Opportunity still in operation after nearly 7 years.)

[defect530]

say good bye to the mysterious face on mars  :D

[rojman123]

Where are the people claiming to see cities and life in these pictures?

[evensgrey]

@rojman123 Mostly because they look at enlargements of images that have been heavily compressed as .jog images, which produces lots of rectangular image artifacts. These artifacts are not present in the original, uncompressed images.

[cruxader27]

i want to spend Christmas here..

[ZemplinTemplar]

I love this probe. :-)

[ScribeOfShadows]

@scotash he killed both moon and mars ?? I thought mars program was possibly still on but on a tighter budget. Wow looks like it might be a private corporation who gets to manned mission to mars before anyone else then and thats going to be egg on NASA face.

[RyuDarragh]

@ScribeOfShadows: Yes. And some other country will achieve fusion and other great and potentially planet saving technology before the US... because we GAVE IT AWAY without even thinking about it.

[ScribeOfShadows]

@RyuDarragh the US is not the only source of technological & scientific innovation, despite what alot of Americans think.

But even if it was. What your saying is if the US came up with a potentially planet saving technology or fusion which has potential to supple vast amount of power to the world. The US should keep it to itself and not share it with the world??. Well that pretty null and voids the point of inventing a planet saving solution if you do not share it with the world.

[RyuDarragh]

@ScribeOfShadows: No. What the US has done, via the perpetually shortsighted Congress and series of cave-in-to-compromise Preidents, is start some fantastic programs, then cut the budget funding those programs in favor of useless pork over and over again. We "gave it away" by squandering programs, and the funding thereoff, on useless crap that serves not a damn thing except political expediency. Our "technological prowess" has been outsourced and its budget cut, over and over again.

[RyuDarragh]

@ScribeOfShadows: Oh, and I do indeed believe in the ingenuity and hard work other nations put into their scientific and technological enterprises. I greatly admire the Russian Cosmonauts and their Apollo-13-esque "We can make it work, comrade!" attitude and how they've duct taped and baling wired a space program that *works*, despite even worse budgetary problems than NASA has. The US had a lot going for it, science wise. I weep for what "the bottom line" has done to that.

[rontayan]

@ScribeOfShadows The funny thing is the US is in last place for Science and Tech education. After the current generation runs its course that's the end of the line. Sure we've still got life sciences but that doesn't really help because its only used to make the next medication that only lessens the symptoms.

[rontayan]

@ScribeOfShadows Obama did not kill the Mars mission. The Mars mission is still being funded. Project Orian is currently being funded. Obama (check the NASA web site to verify) did the proper thing in shifting NASA's resources to more technical and challenging projects concerning travel to Mars, and beyond. Private companies will be doing the travel from earth to the space station. So its highly possible that in 50 years an illegal immigrant astronaut will be delivering supplies to MIR.

[CROshalashaska]

NASA gimme some money!!!

[hwyone]

Used to live there.

[IlovemyGlock21]

I would rather them focus on a manned moon base and mining of the Helium-3 for efficient fusion reactors. I forget the exact number but it's something really small to run the US for one year.

[ScribeOfShadows]

@IlovemyGlock21 there was a plan for a man moon base to be used as a platform for missions to mars. But I believe that may of been scrapped.

[ScribeOfShadows]

The really should put all these in a nice hardbound book and sell them. Like national geographic did for satalite images of Earth. These are some stunning and unusual landscapes.

[IlovemyGlock21]

When the fuck are we going to terraform this bitch.

[ScribeOfShadows]

@IlovemyGlock21 not in our lifetime sadly, we be lucky to see a man mission to mars in our lifetime. Unless the NASA 2030 timeline or SpaceX 2025 timline goes to plan.

[Cherri59]

Amazing!!!!

[mas13quela]

good sh*t

[SPYK3O]

Rock on Odyssey!

[css1323]

Wow, I love the high def videos you guys upload. Looks amazing on my iPhone 4.

[msaqlain]

Music combined with the images turn me on :)

[LanaV6]

Great Video as always. :o) Thanks

[jovitgreat]

is the title right ?

[DelusionalJ]

Incredible footage!

[goodnicstken]

All this time and we still don't have a hires shot of the face and possible structures on mars. Does that not seem a bit odd to anyone?

[ichronicking]

@goodnicstken

they're hiding stuff on the surface?

[rontayan]

@ichronicking Hiding stuff on the surface? ITS WMD!!!! That's where Saddam has his WMD! It was on MARS!

[mku17ra]

@goodnicstken you mean the popular image of viking's that later on turned out to be a mesa that did not resemble a face at all? PSP_003234_2210 <---

[ScribeOfShadows]

@goodnicstken but we do have a hi res shot of the so called face. It just in hi-res it looks nothing like a face.. because its not a face but hey that a bit diffucult for alot of people to swallow.

[TheDivineWinds]

...Mars has a climate? o_0

[Jibbie49]

@TheDivineWinds Go to wikipedia and put in Climate_of_Mars The article there explains the Climate of Mars in detail.

[zenoparodie]

@TheDivineWinds of course, ignorant fuck

[rontayan]

@TheDivineWinds Yes, Mars has a climate. Also if you are lucky enough you can even catch a perfect 70 degrees Fahrenheit summer day....too bad theirs no oxygen though. However mars does have a then atmosphere so it supports a climate. As well as: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus, and Mercury.

although they are nothing that humans find comfortable.

[thexsoar]

well done once again, and with that soundtrack I kept expecting spider-man to swing by O.o

[BenThomasFoster]

Why arn't we already there : / man there should be a 4 man permanent outpost on mars by now!

[GriffinnoFamily]

@BenThomasFoster Because, all these well developed nations have lots of other priorities and can't afford to spend on space research, such as: bombing the crap out of some Iraqi/Afghan school kids( I stole this from one YouTube comment..found it to be so true)

[zkevwlu]

@BenThomasFoster No radiation shielding, no economically feasible mode of transportation, not to mention over 60% of the unmanned missions sent to Mars failed. Would you be willing to bet your life on those shitty odds? There's a billion reasons why Mars is still way out of our reach. Just planning a manned mission to Mars could take a decade assuming the best of conditions and unlimited access to American Tax Dollars...

[leaf16nut]

@zkevwlu

I don't think he mean't that literally...

[BenThomasFoster]

@zkevwlu thats only because we have lost about 40 years of manned spaceflight tecnology. some 95% or more of space craft easily make it to mars and land safely its the who equapment working on the planet... the only problem since radiation is not a problem on surface of mars is getting them back of the planet and making it cost effective

[rontayan]

@BenThomasFoster You may want to do more research on Martian radiation threat. As there is no ozone layer and a very weak atmosphere radiation is still a big threat anywhere outside of Earth for us poor humans.

[BenThomasFoster]

@rontayan but surely the extra distance away from earth effectivly only make "cosmic radiation" the main threat O-zone layer only protects us from UV light which is bad Only when it comes to contact with skin and eyes. we have clother and we have UV glasses but get where your comming fromt he surface of mars is worse long term for humans than earth but food resources and fatigue will be worst factor before death from radiation

[TheFireHorseUK]

@BenThomasFoster “Why arn't we already there?”

That’s because there are still men who believe that we should still be digging a ditch with an arse bone of a giraffe and worshipping sky-daddies....

Just think of the advancement of the human race if it wasn’t for the ball’n’chain of religion...

[FreedomLiberty21]

@TheFireHorseUK well that and most nations in the world (especially the U.S.) still feel excessively funding their military is a wiser use of scare resources than human space programs.

I guarantee if NASA, ESA, FKA, JAXA and other agencies were funded even a fifth of their nation's military budgets, we'd have permanent colonies on the moon, Mars and human missions to Europa and Titan.

[TheFireHorseUK]

@FreedomLiberty21 "well that and most nations in the world (especially the U.S.) still feel excessively funding their military is a wiser use of scare resources than human space programs"

Some truth in that.....

[toocoolforu]

@FreedomLiberty21 Military funding is the main sponsor of space exploration ....

[FreedomLiberty21]

@toocoolforu I know, isn't it unfortunate :(

theres a risk that one or more nations may choose to weaponize space cuz so much of space funding is linked with military spending. Professor Chomsky once said in an interview that lots of the military spending (and a large part of NASA's) is a pretext for technological development, particularly the kind dealing with strategic defense and aggressive capabilities.

We should be funding space exploration for science's sake and humanity's progress.

[BenThomasFoster]

@TheFireHorseUK agreed we'd be what maybe 400 years more advance atleast if religion wasn't "restrictive" 200+ years ago

[MasterOfSpacetime]

@TheFireHorseUK I would'nt let anyone off the planet.

[TheFireHorseUK]

@MasterOfSpacetime - "I would'nt let anyone off the planet."

is that through the lack of interest raised by exploration of the universe or because you believe we humans don't have the right or sense to go exploring?

[MasterOfSpacetime]

@TheFireHorseUK You all have not proven yourselves to be worthy of being Masters. The world you all have built is an insult to my intelligence. It is my pleasure to crush it.

[toocoolforu]

@MasterOfSpacetime Are you some kind of sociopath ? Try to make the world better instead of tearing it apart. People currently realizes how fragile the world is. I think we need a back up somewhere else, colonies studying there without contamination. If we destroyed species in between, we owe it to life to spray it outside Earth.

[mypokemonisawesome]

@TheFireHorseUK Soooooooooooo right dude

Religion= useless

Science=useful

[Slipe032]

@mypokemonisawesome

Yeah..I remember the logic of science when it stated the Earth was flat....That was what??Around 1492...You know, when they told Columbus he would fall off the Earth...However, the Bible stated in a book dating back to 2500BC...That the Earth was a sphere than hung in the midst of nothing!! ..Yeah..Science...A real winner there buddy!!....With all these Educated SCIENTIST out there..One would think the world would be getting better..Uhh..NOPE...!!!

[PhotoShopChannel]

@TheFireHorseUK we all know religion sucks but asking “Why arn't we already there?” isn't it obvious it's the cost?

[xzaz2]

@PhotoShopChannel It is, TheFireHorseUK is blaming religion for no cause, money and war on earth are the biggest problems...

[PhotoShopChannel]

@xzaz2 Religion and culture has a bit to play in war. no doubt.

[xzaz2]

@TheFireHorseUK What the f has religion to do with that? NOTHING. Tell me in one way how religion stopped the space-travel??

[rontayan]

@BenThomasFoster Why? Ahem (pulls out soap box.)

Why are not on Mars yet? Because we waste our resources on.

1. War

2. Celebrities.

3 .Entertainment.

4. Religion

5. Politics

Over all we fail as a planetary society. Once we over come the fear of each other, and lean to live in peace. Then we can travel into the Universe that gave birth to us.

[2XcrazymanX2]

@BenThomasFoster Waste of money.

[toocoolforu]

@2XcrazymanX2 Sure it is a waste. We need a whole colony there! sealed from the outside.

[KarbineKyle]

AWESOME! I LOVE Mars! It's such a beautiful and mysterious planet! They need to look for aquifers or underwater caverns, and caves. Mars has caves. It must have caverns. The max temperature is ~ 67º F on the surface. If the mantle is hot enough, and the crust is thin in some places, they should drill for caverns, or aquifers if their not frozen. It'd take a while and cost A LOT, but it'd be a marvel! I'd LOVE to just walk on the surface! We should have gone to Mars already! We need to go there!

[J3ANP3T3R]

the martians are sending our spacecrafts with false images coming from an icecream.

[nyle123nyle]

hey nasa why the f*** r u guys so sicked about mars focus more on light speed, anti gravity, and space ships that works on green technologys

[lemonsyay1]

@nyle123nyle because they found life on mars, and no one gives a shit about co2 emissions of something in space

[ManservantPablo]

@nyle123nyle Because I doubt they are going to take advice from a guy who has trouble spelling technologies.

[kandiman7979]

holy shit thats COOL! great vid! dont mind my french.

[audveltadmuna]

in the future im gonna live on mars... it'll be so awesome

[bratepivara]

:O Stunning

[iandegia]

i see what used to be large water flows...

[MarvelsofaLifetime]

Ah, I learned about this in Bible class. God created the mountains and rivers and thou said there'd be light.

[LeHizik]

@MarvelsofaLifetime As long as he created it billions of years ago.

[MarvelsofaLifetime]

@LeHizik: Well it says in the Bible he created everything in 7 days 10,000 years ago.

[LeHizik]

@MarvelsofaLifetime Oh,where did it say that

[kandiman7979]

@MarvelsofaLifetime u were taught lies sonny.
