These people at NASA are brilliant! And how do we not pay these people what they are worth? Meanwhile these idiot actor/actresses make millions. It's sad.
There's gotta be life on Mars. It seems hard for me to believe that not a SINGLE microbe is living on the ENTIRE planet? Maybe in a crevice somewhere? There's just gotta be...and I can't wait for the day they find it :-)
Nice video but can someone explain the purpose of this mission? To discover if life has lived/could live on mars? what so humans can go and fuck up another planet? yeah great use of millions of dollars that could have been spent trying to improve life on earth instead of subsidizing toys for scientists to play with.
The Mars atmosphere made of gases would acctually alowe the transmission of sound. I wouldnt be surprised if the sound would be the same as the one in the video...
Ever notice what happens if you type in Mars sky crane on google? basically nothing. Not one real photograph.....a few released art prints. I'd sure like to check out it's landing gear. Obviously their not going to exibit such profound stupidity as to design it to fly with such power and precision and then just crash it...
just imagine the low flying videos it would make over the surface? That's the video we're all dying to see. This has got to be our newest latest greatest conspiricy!
@idea7man777 The sky crane doesn't have a very big fuel source at all. (It's nearly all used up getting the rover to the ground.) Also consider the communication delay between Mars and the Earth due to the distance between the two bodies. A flying vehicle would have to fly and land all on its own, and it's risky enough doing it once. Doing it multiple times would be a logistical nightmare. When not under control, or if something goes awry, a rover can simply sit there safe and sound.
did you notice that at 3:14 the cables are released and the sky crane flies off to the horizon until 3:23, breaking all records for martian travel? remember when spirit shattered the martian travel record at almost 70 feet in one day? The sky crane can travel over 500 miles per hour and land anywhere it wants and study a wide variety of terrain. ever wonder why the stuck-in-one-crater Model T style exploration is the story you will be transfixed on? Hmmmm? just sayin'.....
....and where exactly does this powerful, dynamic flying machine that is capable of lowering a two thousand pound payload down nice and soft on a dime go? The camera's attention goes to the Model-T style of locomotion.....the powerful versatile flying machine with mokeys and rats inside that flies off into the distance, exiting stage right on the horizon....where does it go? ....oh, the Model T style of exploration...THAT'S what we're supposed to focus on......designed for one use?.......HA!
@SlyDepth No. The solar power was sufficient for Spirit and Opportunity, but Curiosity uses a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (radioactive decay produces heat which is converted to electricity). That's why it can't run more than a year or so.
What this is doing is finding out were this one chemise came Crome. Damn I can't remover the name but google it. The chemiclencan be given off bye other reactions or microbel life. 90 percent of this gas or chemical is caused bye microbial life. This will be able to find out witch is is. Life that's causing it or natural elements on the red planet. But all we know. The dead planet isn't as dead as we thought
Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."
Don't BULLSHIT me "NASA"! Where are you landing these things!? I'm a taxpayer, that rover belongs to me! What are you "really" looking for?!! -message me c: (onegreyungman@gmail.com)
@drconiandevil Uh? It's landing in Gale crater bro. It's looking to see if Mars is or ever was habitable, but is not designed to find life directly. It is not equipped to find microbial life for instance.
Those of you who fail to recognise the magnificence of this human achievement and instead write comments about sound in space and graphics, lack perspective IMHO.
Very good animation, but flawed rover design. The rover has large number of small wheels, which may get stuck in a crevice. I would rather design a rover similar to Segway - two big wheels and two big arms.
@polka23dot Large wheels are actually worse than larger numbers of small wheels for this application. Large wheels require more torque to turn, which means gearing down the motors even further than they already are, and requiring even more energy. Larger numbers of smaller wheels also provide better weight distribution, which helps prevent the rover from sinking into loose soil. Large wheels make sense for something like a dune buggy, but make no sense for a Mars rover.
@polka23dot Large wheels also mean proportionally more weight, because you need a larger support structure for the wheel since it is so much larger. Large wheels also are harder to fold up in the aeroshell, requiring more space. The unfolding mechanism also has to be stronger, to accommodate for the weight of the heavier wheels, which means you need stronger support and stronger motors to unfold the rover. The weight gets exponentially higher when you add even small amounts of weight.
@UndeadPizzaGuy You are wrong. All vehicles designed for rough terrain have large wheels. Small wheels do not provide good weight distribution because they cannot follow the terrain precisely. The total weight of 2 wheels is about the same as the total weight of 6 wheels (NASA design). Big wheels = high speed. Big wheels require big motors which have big torque. There is no need to fold anything, except the arms, because most of the body is between the 2 wheels.
Curiosity weighs one ton, the air bag descent was for much smaller rovers. I believe the 100 year starship for Mars is so that when shit hits the fan on Earth, mankind will still have a fighting chance. Prepare for disclosure, God speed.
we have the know how and the desire to achieve such things - the only thing holding us back is the monetary market system - check out zeitheist addendum and zeitgeist moving forward to see way to free human capabilities - also related check out the ideas of douglas mallette and former boeimg engineer working with the former nasa shuttle program
totally fake. looks like they did this on a computer. faker than the moon landings. PLUS - there's no sound in space, retards! they take us for idiots. wake up, sheeple!
@tinfistsweeny: What our top scientists can achieve and what politicians can achieve are two different things. Do you think the government is going to appointment the best person for the job to run health care or somebody they owe a favor to?
@golferhoops Well actually they are not in the middle of space, they are on mars (the same way that we are not in the middle of space, but rather on the earth). Also, mars does have an atmosphere meaning sounds can be heard, otherwise the parachute would have no effect on the rover.
@FalcoStellare Those forementioned events, wars and just killings are thanks to the fact that the majority of the human race still ignorantly clings to religion. Religion is a restraint on our evolution, a restraint stopping many people from seeing the truth around them, that life is what it is because of what we make it, not because a magical creation from the mind of man is sitting in the clouds doing it for us.
We could be far more advanced if we dropped religion a long time ago.
@enigmaPL I could'nt agree more. Religion is a true poison for minds. But the same can be told for greed, and love for power. If we only could spend our lives in studying and researching, instead of killing each other, we could reach such things as teleportation within years, and not centuries. In this period of global crisis, I think that a new burst in economies could rise from a new space race, to turn these dark years into a new brilliant era able to light the fire again in human hearts.
@FalcoStellare Well said. However, the damage this corruptly functioning society creates has been done, masses of people laugh or discredit the existence of alien life, but couldn't explain in words how excited they are for a "new" cell phone, or something stupid that is coming out. The societies we live in are designed to keep people stupid, so the governments can do as they please, and the people accept without acknowledging. There are those like us, who want change, but not enough yet sadly.
@AgrivatedKillah Yes, it's a sadly thruth. Do you realize that all the best efforts in human technologies come from attempts to achieve better death tools? It's our nature, we can only dream of a peaceful and evoluted humanity in the future, but the thruth is that our path is just made of blood and estinction. What a shameful crime against the universe.
What a terrific concept and a wonderful animation of what to expect. Not a KISS concept so the landing may rival anything we have seen for suspense...if only the upper (rocket powered) lander portion had a camera and could record the entire event I would tune in to the NASA channel for that! Way cool
Hmmm... It looks fascinating but landing procedure looks dangerous. Too many components increase probability something can get wrong. I think previous mission had safer landing solution.
@Xeramach it's too big to use airbags like the last rovers. this one would just flatten the ballons like they were hardly there. besides that, this way they have precision control over where it lands instead of it bouncing for a mile before stopping
@sinnock4444 I just hope everything goes well. I really like everything with space exploring and it is so sad that all this is so expensive and take time to get there.
Love that this thing is nuclear powered. At the start it produces 125 watts. In 14 years it still produces 100 watts. This thing will go all over the place.
A US government program can achieve this -- but try telling the GOP that the government can provide its own citizens universal health care, and they call you communist.
@tinfistsweeny - Why turn this into a political subject? If you're going to comment on the video, make it subject relevant, like what the Rover can and cannot do.
@lsgyger I hear you. Ever so often, I just baffle at the hypocrisy of our nation. I love America for its genius, its ingenuity, its unrelenting drive to reach beyond what's expected. NASA makes this happen. In this video, we're watching the greatness of what the US government can achieve. If the same focus and intelligence could be put into solving problems like healthcare, imagine how strong our country could grow.
@tinfistsweeny I disagree. It's not what the US Government (the politicians) can achieve -all they do is appropriate the money for NASA to spend. I used to say it was the American Spirit. But, anymore all these space exploration expeditions are multi-national in some respect. I do get the jest of what you are saying, but I'm glad the government doesn't have a bigger hand in what is going on with NASA. They'd just screw things up. Politicians can't agree on healthcare.
@tinfistsweeny Well, just remember our nation is made up of individuals, and when you have extremely intelligent, educated Americans with a passion for knowledge and scientific discovery, they can and will do amazing things for the benefit of society. But when you have bureaucrats and politicians, who are motivated by greed and self importance, and who can their positions in unscrupulous ways, they can do horrible things for society.
Other wonderful Nasa programs far larger than MSL: Space Station, projected cost 10 billion, actual cost 100 billion then half was given to the Russians cause they didn't want to spend even more. Constellation program? Way over budget. Way over schedule. Canceled by Obama. You want yer national health care, I hope you get it by the same folks responsible for those debacles.
so many complex processes which can go wrong. but maybe it was designed that way.....to go wrong. so that the nasa space program and thus the public stays in the dark about what is really on mars.
the fact is we have a black military space program with antigravity craft which have been going to mars since the 50's.
Also , dirt excavators have two side arms that come down and lock the vehicle in place , instead the rovers could have these two arms to PROP them out of a sand if ever they get stuck again ....FOR CHRIST SAKE didn't anyone look at the previous problems and adapt them into this new rover ! Curiosity is a science lab ... what the hell were the other rovers ? shitty 1 megapixel cameras with a drill ?
This rovers will be the 7th rover on mars (sigh) , foreseen problems - i thought the airbag drop was problematic till i seen the new delivery system for Curiosity , how many different stages in the video plus how many boosters ( too many ) , Main problem in recent rovers ? Sinking in the dirt . This rover is, largest and same wheel design (sigh x 2) . Now Curiosity is running nuclear (lol) , could have went solar again and added a windshield wiper for the dirt ,I love space but mars again !
whoever find this interest and what to grow and do this...trust me you don't want too.. All this is possible thanks to control system, the subject is pure anal -_-''
I'd enjoy this video much more if we had a single payer system for health care in the United States instead of the current corrupt system that kills 44,000 Americans every year after they suffer in agony.
Don't believe you've been LIED to? Then educate yourself:
Google Wendell Potter Bill Moyers video and watch the interview and see for yourself.
Let's maybe save tens of thousands of American lives every year from preventable death and suffering and then work on getting to Mars.
@MrCowicide surely the obscene spending in the military is a more clear choice to divert funds from than exploring the universe, possibly the greatest thing humans have ever achieved.
@Frug4l I am assuming that anything you manage to land ON ANOTHER PLANET is pretty much hi-tech. If you manage to land a toaster safely on the Europa moon, I'd say that's a frickin' hi-tech toaster.

@sinnock4444 I just hope everything goes well. I really like everything with space exploring and it is so sad that all this is so expensive and take time to get there.

Love that this thing is nuclear powered. At the start it produces 125 watts. In 14 years it still produces 100 watts. This thing will go all over the place.

A US government program can achieve this -- but try telling the GOP that the government can provide its own citizens universal health care, and they call you communist.

@tinfistsweeny - Why turn this into a political subject? If you're going to comment on the video, make it subject relevant, like what the Rover can and cannot do.

@lsgyger I hear you. Ever so often, I just baffle at the hypocrisy of our nation. I love America for its genius, its ingenuity, its unrelenting drive to reach beyond what's expected. NASA makes this happen. In this video, we're watching the greatness of what the US government can achieve. If the same focus and intelligence could be put into solving problems like healthcare, imagine how strong our country could grow.
tinfistsweeny 2 months ago
@tinfistsweeny I disagree. It's not what the US Government (the politicians) can achieve -all they do is appropriate the money for NASA to spend. I used to say it was the American Spirit. But, anymore all these space exploration expeditions are multi-national in some respect. I do get the jest of what you are saying, but I'm glad the government doesn't have a bigger hand in what is going on with NASA. They'd just screw things up. Politicians can't agree on healthcare.
lsgyger 2 months ago
@tinfistsweeny Well, just remember our nation is made up of individuals, and when you have extremely intelligent, educated Americans with a passion for knowledge and scientific discovery, they can and will do amazing things for the benefit of society. But when you have bureaucrats and politicians, who are motivated by greed and self importance, and who can their positions in unscrupulous ways, they can do horrible things for society.

Other wonderful Nasa programs far larger than MSL: Space Station, projected cost 10 billion, actual cost 100 billion then half was given to the Russians cause they didn't want to spend even more. Constellation program? Way over budget. Way over schedule. Canceled by Obama. You want yer national health care, I hope you get it by the same folks responsible for those debacles.

@tinfistsweeny On the other hand, look at their efforts at producing the James Webb telescope. 200% over Budget and behind about 10 years.

so many complex processes which can go wrong. but maybe it was designed that way.....to go wrong. so that the nasa space program and thus the public stays in the dark about what is really on mars.
the fact is we have a black military space program with antigravity craft which have been going to mars since the 50's.

Also , dirt excavators have two side arms that come down and lock the vehicle in place , instead the rovers could have these two arms to PROP them out of a sand if ever they get stuck again ....FOR CHRIST SAKE didn't anyone look at the previous problems and adapt them into this new rover ! Curiosity is a science lab ... what the hell were the other rovers ? shitty 1 megapixel cameras with a drill ?

This rovers will be the 7th rover on mars (sigh) , foreseen problems - i thought the airbag drop was problematic till i seen the new delivery system for Curiosity , how many different stages in the video plus how many boosters ( too many ) , Main problem in recent rovers ? Sinking in the dirt . This rover is, largest and same wheel design (sigh x 2) . Now Curiosity is running nuclear (lol) , could have went solar again and added a windshield wiper for the dirt ,I love space but mars again !

I'd enjoy this video much more if we had a single payer system for health care in the United States instead of the current corrupt system that kills 44,000 Americans every year after they suffer in agony.
Don't believe you've been LIED to? Then educate yourself:
Google Wendell Potter Bill Moyers video and watch the interview and see for yourself.
Let's maybe save tens of thousands of American lives every year from preventable death and suffering and then work on getting to Mars.
