Mars Rover Celebrates Milestone

[dgeramie1]

amazing video

[lanhamdh]

I cant watch the damn video because the stupid "Angel Soft" ad keeps freezing. YOU TUBE FIX THIS!!!!!

[ACCI]

Sony and Microsoft need to take some pointers from NASA.

[911turbo5]

Shit how the fk do they get a signal i cant get a internet signal 50 feet away from my wirless router but they can rove mars from earth

[MrSniperking20]

@911turbo5 simple answer. radio waves. radio waves can travel millions of miles. internet signals aren't radio waves thaats why you get crappy internet connections.

[drummerkid1993]

It did 2609 days, that rocks.

[Theegamedude]

Um, if they are worried about dust collecting on the solar panels then why don't they put some sort of wiper blades to wipe the dust off. Mind you, I don't have a engineering degree or work for NASA. I'm just saying.

[LokiV]

Spirit remains silent at her location called "Troy" on the west side of Home Plate. No communication has been received from the rover since March 22, 2010 :(

[MGR1900]

How come Nasa can build a rover built to last 90 days on Mars and it lasts 1,000 days yet Chevy can't be a fricken car built for Earth that doesn't fall apart at around the same time frame?

[flute1234]

@MGR1900 Well for one. Find out how much money it took to make the Rover and pay all the men to make it. Then take the price of a chevy. Now you have your asnwer.

[rs4us]

there's only one reason why that rover lives so long

the marsmenn cleaned it everyday

[mmohmadhreab]

bgvf jhyg slsoi

[ParaglidingManiac]

If Moon landing was hoax, how can those stupid people who believe that, can believe that this Mars rover is really on Mars? I mean, I have no doubts that it IS, but think about that.

[communistjesus]

THEY BUILT IT WELL...

[flyersluver4eva]

i love the idea of it bein solar powered. fuckin great stuff

[Glennfalconi]

It's been there 1026 days? Is the time litteraly slower there than here? That for example if i stood on a planet for one day, A whole month has passed in earth?

[Sn0wFreak]

i think theyre gonna try and make mars more livable by putting pollution in its atmousphere to create a better atmousphere

[Bdiddly1]

@Sn0wFreak -mars doesnt have an atmosphere!

[futureBLESS]

Mars sucks, lets go to Venus

[kadmany]

lmao

[Eterna1Soldier]

Venus would crush you into a pulp. Our robotic sensors can't even last more than a couple of minutes on Venus before being crushed from the dense atmosphere.

[futureBLESS]

you're right, after reading up on Venus, its even worse than Mars,

[LemmingAttack]

@Eterna1Soldier

Which just makes the only image we have from the surface of Venus that much more interesting...

[717Veedubb]

to many ads on youtube....

[WATADUCHEBAG]

its simply amazing how the mars rover (spirit) is outstonishing im simply flabergasted how clever it actually is

[tthir15]

This may sound weird, but I encountered a vid that says inhabitants of that planet are cleaning up the rovers. They said it themselves. It's windy and dusty. Life expectancy of both robots are only up to 90 days. Suspicious. Don't you think?

Am I gullible to somewhat believe that?

[ProjectBoobcat]

Hooray for Spirit! When is his birthday? Someone should get him a cake... What kind of cake would a robot like? Chocolate... Ice cream... Oreo... That's a tough decision.

[robbinsillinois]

a cake called e.v..a lol

[Deathwish026]

well done rovers for 1000+ days of photos

[PontifexProductions]

And how much would a whisk broom weigh?

[capdasejb]

cant believe its not japanese

[NJRocks281]

United States is more than capable of making highly advanced robots. Look at big dog.

[Bdiddly1]

@NJRocks281 -&george bush!

[anotherpocho]

I think having some kind of air compressor onboard would have made the rover heavy and would consume too much energy AND would cause problems in outers space since the air compressor is a sealed component AND your stupid!

[HelpSaveTheEarth2051]

Wtf?A simple compression system to blow the air off the panels??? Simple as a fish tank pump? Wtf?

[BEG4MPG]

rovers need to repair eachother with dust converters that convert dust into lube for machine parts

[bashibazouks77]

90-day warranty?!

[uruk]

true colors or Nasa's colors ?

[boredawesome]

mars is awesome
