I literally cannot understand why you would dislike this video - even if half are mistakes - that still leaves 3 whole people who think nasa exploring mars is stupid, is that you china? iran?
i wonder why people keep talking of religion here - i mean seriously what has it given you ? Science you the net , an i phone , 3 D movies and Tvs , medical treatment, more enjoyment, fast cars , bikes , There are too many things people should thank it for instead they say its all because of god . Ironic really
So a fairy tale book of unconfirmed accounts of various lunatics is the word of an invisible man. I fail to see how the bible explains the life cycle of a star, what a super nova i, quasars and magnataur, and pulsars are but guess what I do know that they all have in common with religion that they are man made spawned out of our minds oh wait only the names are man made the phenomena i mentioned can be witnessed wish i could say the same for your "GOD"
The Bible is the explanation to the overwhelming complexity of the universe. If you wish to debate the subject, start by explaining the origin of time, space and matter. "In the beginning (time) God created the heaven and the earth (space and matter). Genesis 1:1 The origin of time, space and matter cannot be explained with the big bang theory but I'm willing to give you a shot at it.
There is a simple explanation of the beginning in Genesis. However, it is your choice whether or not to believe it. The big bang theory is also a simple explanation of the beginning but I refuse to believe it because it can not possibly explain the beginning of time, space, and matter. Therefore, I must believe that existence is a supernatural and miraculous creation performed by a higher power that our finite minds cannot fathom. This is logic and reason...
@WrathToCome, Both explanations are basically of the exact same nature and have the exact same logical problems. If there is a "beginning" of time, space, matter & energy, then they all came out of nothing. So we're saying that some "power" created all of that. To say that the "power" was conscious only begs the question of how IT came to be. And to say IT is "beginningless" does not really solve the logical problem.
In the beginning God created the universe in the dimensions we are living in today. The universe has physical laws which he created as well. To say something like "God cannot exist because he had no creator" is not a valid argument because God should not be limited to the laws of science that he himself created. I am humble enough to realize that our human minds are not capable of fully understanding God. This is logic and reason.
@WrathToCome ... and a book just saying "all of this was created / caused / started by some mysterious power / entity / person / first-cause / whatever" doesn't really give that book any authority or make it stand out has having any actual insight on the matter. It's just saying what anyone could say who sits and thinks that there must have been a beginning.
@WrathToCome you should study more, big bang does explain it , And as for before the big bang , why not try string theories and M theory or try read the multiverse theory and Quantum physics , it explains it very well , A for big bang , the very reason that the universe is expanding at a faster rate every years tends to prove how much accurate it is , There are stuff called dark energy and dark matter which perform a vital role in all this,As for it....
The origin of time, space and matter... Please. Don't say "The big bang" because then I will ask you how and why matter was in existence before the bang. But seriously, I am not here to debate. My mission is to preach WRATH to the wicked. "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good." Psalm 14:1-7
@WrathToCome i did not say matter existed before big bang ,, but space and time always did , so did dimensions , we now live in a 3 D world , a 3 dimensional world , but you now there are more than just three dimensions , as i pointed out before , The very particles and strings which make up matter came or itself arose when two big universes meet, or you can say dimensions itself interact m its complicated wrath ? sheesh, what do u think english or language is ? or anything u've ever known ?
So you believe that spacetime has always existed and had no beginning. If time is infinite in its past then how did we manage to get to the present? You don't necessarily believe that matter existed before the bang, so I'm assuming you believe that matter came from nothing. Is there any logic or reason in your thinking? "How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?" Proverbs 1:22
@WrathToCome there is , time always exists , matter does not, well , consider different kinds of matter , anti matter , dark matter etc , or sub matter quarks , they are not matter , are they ? so even vacumm might not be just vacumm , it might be something more,what yu consider nothing is always something , Its dimensions , n as for me,i probably exist somewhere else too,apart from my current self and i will probably exist always,since time and matter generally behave the same way
@WrathToCome I will God cannot exist , Have u ever considered how everything in our life braks aparts,then joins back, breaks apart and joins back,This process is everywhere in the ecosystem, its in the thermal nature of plates of the planet Earth,in the death and creation of stars and Galaxies , The creation of beginnings and ending and them being repeated,If u try to analyze the universe in a mathematic equation , what you will end up with is Infinity ,Time is infinity , So are you
@WrathToCome Have you considered what Quantum theory suggests ? It does say that matter behaves both as a wave and a particle , Light behaves that way too , In that light can exist in many places at once, So if the matter in our universe behaves the same way as light , you and me, we must exist at many places at once ^^ might even be other universe , God is a very small concept given to such a complex universe , I believe its impossible for God to exist....literally Impossible
@WrathToCome as fr dark energy and dark matter , can u really understand something which does not react with matter ? not even light , since light is matter , so can u really capture or understand stuff like that , If your talking supernatural , What is more supernatural than the entire universe around us,the spectacle of life and the diverse nature of time and space ? God is not supernatural,its fantasy . True supernatural is so unbelievable that most people will refuse to accept it :)
@ValmisFilm its called admitting your errors and changing your mind when the evidence proves you wrong. The real strength of science. Something religion refuses to have.
@viicISrotcib Religion does admit their errors (sometimes) The Vatican admitted that Galileo was right about the earth revolving around the sun.... it took 359 years and they denied it up until 1992 but thanks to the Vatican the earth now revolves around the sun:)
@55metalmonkey if religion did not change with the times everyone would abandon it, but they are the last ones to change and they keep humanity back all for what can only be considered adult fairy tales.
@viicISrotcib No not religious at all (sometimes militant atheist) , I try to be somewhat neutral talking to people for the most part unless I'm talking to a fundie or creationist. My first post was just showing the irony that it took 359 years for the church to admit what the world already knew way before 1992 :)

Destroy the root sources of Funding through popularity politics and the machine grinds to a halt.

@Blogengezer Science is sooooo yesterday in the United States. Nowadays it's all about superstition, fear-mongering, and squeezing every nickel out of the poor.
Why don't NASA send a ranger to Olympus Mons, it's the biggest volcano in the Solar System and it would be pretty good sight to have pictures of that thing.
@iamabigfatbutt By adding such a device to clean the panels would add extra weight to the vehicle, require extra power to operate it, thus being superfluous. Mars's winds will clean the panels quite well - there is no shortage of that out there, that's why Opportunity has lasted eight years. :) Peace.
@wardog1967 such a device would weigh about half a pound, this thing is already 180, unless this was made in mind that the panels would operate at 100% efficiently all the time (and with the dust problem at all, obviously not), then something that is half a pound, and sweeps across the panels once a day, to ensure it is running at as close to 100% at most if not all times possible, couldn't possibly make a dampening on the power source, especially if any rover goes spelunking, no winds there.
@iamabigfatbutt I agree, but to the NASA JPL engineers, that half a pound or even the construct of this device may be more than what they allow for (for whatever reason) in their designs. Seriously, I think it should have one too - no argument there. By the way...your name cracks me up! LOL!
I'm not sure if the Rover or NASA does this but from 0:39 to 0:46, that photo looks as if the center portion doesn't belong? There's a line in the center of the photo on each side that has a uniform difference in the shading. It can be seen pretty clearly ay 0:46. I've seen NASA photos that are pieced together but that looks different. Just an observation :)
@growingneeds There's certainly not any vegatation now on Mars, however there's some evidence there was water on Mars a long time ago. Vegatation is not confirmed to have ever been on Mars.
I love the names they gave to these mobile machines, Opportunity and Curiosity. Maybe there will be Discovery, Explorer or even Traveller in the future lol. :P
Too bad there's no way to dust off the panels... Maybe one of the next rovers could have something like modified wipers for this task ? ;-) Or better yet : A few small nozzles that would blow some air on the panels in order to clean them at least a bit.
When God created Mars, he went, "ooops, now nobody here will worship me. Let me try earth, I created a few idiots there, I hope they haven't multiply..."
@nickmooreimages I think it was because at the time, the rover was only intended to last for 3 months, so building wipers (more weight, more parts, etc) wouldn't have been necessary. The new rover they just sent fixes that problem though, iirc the new rover is powered through radioactive decay of an element?
dam that robot just wont give up and i have a dumb quastion but whats at the north and south poles of mars? i seen before white but is it snow? ice? water?
@blankrofl so there actually is water on mars surface how about we just send some plants up there and melt the ice caps... it just occured to me that doing that is easier said then done
Just don't go about messing some strange monoliths that you will find up there. I'm sure my all natural, organic cannabis pets would hate budding in two suns.
What a great return on investment. We're learning so much, and far from the 6 months hoped for, we've already gotten 8 years out of it and it made it to a giant crater! The other rover that continued on for 6 years also did really well!
NASA should land the new rover near by with at least a towel to wipe down its panels. All the money to get robots to mars and they cant handle that, Curiosity is nuclear powered, not like it couldn't make a pit stop on its way to the other end of the dust ball. Nevertheless NASA does a great job.
@shanepaulcoward I think about that too. I really believe things will have to be like star trek, no money, more sharing. Human race is just going to bleed out its fucking dirty laundry as it were into space if we don't unify. Mars will be claimed by "Earth" I hope and not a private organization.
This is completely fascinating :D Exploring the surface of OTHER PLANETS :D I cant wait for the day humans do the same. And its rare to see govt institutions build something that goes so far past its end date and still produce incredible stuff. I only hope that when colonization of mars begins, we dont mess it up as badly as we do the earth here. But thats a hope in vain, I think at least.
@shkotay I agree. It just gives me chills that these images are taken from the surface of an other planet. I think that by the time we start terrafroming mars our scince and culture is so developed that we will not mess it up. We will have become a rational and scientific type 1 civalisation
One day that rover will come across an ancient drone all broken and emitting high levels of radiation and it will send back this message "Damn you! damn you all to hell!!"
@FedupwithR: Nothing is actually "programmed" or "designed" with obsolescence as a goal, only as an eventuality. The design of any product could be enhanced to the point where a washing machine was 300kG of metal, motors and glass, but it would still, eventually, wear out. It would also cost $100K. More often than not, when you design for extreme conditions, you get a really durable product. But, you also get a much higher cost. Your average smartphone has more smarts, but no solar panels.
Sorry, you are wrong. Many companies in the West test component parts for durability with the aim of making sure they don't last too long! This is modern economics in the consumer society. We used to have quality, we now have quantity.
@FedupwithR: Prove it. Provide a link or a source. Wear and wear characteristics are studied and used in design to ensure that a product will operate correctly for it's expected lifetime. Lifetimes are determined based on practicalities of cost, weight, size and suitability. A product is not designed to wear out after X number of months or years. I am an engineer and these sorts of considerations are all that matter. Sure, you could use exotic metals and heavier materials, but not without cost.
For sure there is a TOP SECRET CLASSIFIED rover on Mars investigating the sites that show intelligencia on Mars in times past and life on Mars today ie forests. They just sent these PUBLIC domain rovers to the most barren wasteland on Mars for a cover
I may be an idiot let me preface this with that but ...
Does it cost a ton of money to leave a live feed going from the rover 24/7 that can be streamed over the internet? IT seems to me if it was left on 24/7 you would get tons of people interested in science and nasa might even make some money with banner ads or whatever on the page. It'd be like a reality show on mars.
@lordtalon69 Reality show on Mars...you know thats a great idea. I DO hope somebody from NASA reads this. Hell I'd check in. Actual live continual images from another planet. Thats actually a hell of a good idea :D
@lordtalon69: It would be really difficult and meaningless to live stream the telemetry from Opportunity; it contains not only pictures (which are not encoded for anything at all like TV, and aren't in color until processed on the ground), but also reams of engineering data (about the health and status of the craft), computer & instrument dumps, and all it's other science instruments. Near-realtime might be a possibility, and a very interesting idea.
@lordtalon69 A nice idea, but bare in mind the travel time of the signal from Mars. It's about 40-45 minutes, IIRC. That might complicate any "live" feed. But it would be cool to watch regular updates from our neighbour, even if it would just be the same old rocky desert most of the time. :-)
@lordtalon69 I suspect the people tuning into that stream already are interested in science and all the others would find it rather boring as it just looks like some rocky desert. The fact that it's literally from a different world doesn't make up for it.
@leaf16nut Those are the wide-angle engineering cameras which are used for navigation and don't need to be in color. In fact the contrast of the greyscale images aid in navigation. They also have scientific cameras for full color photography.

Too bad there's no way to dust off the panels... Maybe one of the next rovers could have something like modified wipers for this task ? ;-) Or better yet : A few small nozzles that would blow some air on the panels in order to clean them at least a bit.

Why didn't they build wipers for the solar panels?
nickmooreimages 1 month ago
@nickmooreimages I think it was because at the time, the rover was only intended to last for 3 months, so building wipers (more weight, more parts, etc) wouldn't have been necessary. The new rover they just sent fixes that problem though, iirc the new rover is powered through radioactive decay of an element?

@gaminggalor It's Ice, like the ice caps on earth (fairly sure about this). There's also perma frost in the dirt near the caps.

steal some matter from jupiter and make mars heavier...
of course this might effect the orbit of earth slowly, but it might work...(any comments?)
make mars heavy enough to sustain an atmosphere...
and see what we can do about the magnetic field...
maybe mars hasnt enough mass to keep the centre (core) liquid?

What a great return on investment. We're learning so much, and far from the 6 months hoped for, we've already gotten 8 years out of it and it made it to a giant crater! The other rover that continued on for 6 years also did really well!

NASA should land the new rover near by with at least a towel to wipe down its panels. All the money to get robots to mars and they cant handle that, Curiosity is nuclear powered, not like it couldn't make a pit stop on its way to the other end of the dust ball. Nevertheless NASA does a great job.

This is completely fascinating :D Exploring the surface of OTHER PLANETS :D I cant wait for the day humans do the same. And its rare to see govt institutions build something that goes so far past its end date and still produce incredible stuff. I only hope that when colonization of mars begins, we dont mess it up as badly as we do the earth here. But thats a hope in vain, I think at least.

@shkotay I agree. It just gives me chills that these images are taken from the surface of an other planet. I think that by the time we start terrafroming mars our scince and culture is so developed that we will not mess it up. We will have become a rational and scientific type 1 civalisation

@FedupwithR wonderful statement!
georgemargaris 1 month ago
@FedupwithR: Nothing is actually "programmed" or "designed" with obsolescence as a goal, only as an eventuality. The design of any product could be enhanced to the point where a washing machine was 300kG of metal, motors and glass, but it would still, eventually, wear out. It would also cost $100K. More often than not, when you design for extreme conditions, you get a really durable product. But, you also get a much higher cost. Your average smartphone has more smarts, but no solar panels.

@RyuDarragh
Sorry, you are wrong. Many companies in the West test component parts for durability with the aim of making sure they don't last too long! This is modern economics in the consumer society. We used to have quality, we now have quantity.
FedupwithR 1 month ago
@FedupwithR: Prove it. Provide a link or a source. Wear and wear characteristics are studied and used in design to ensure that a product will operate correctly for it's expected lifetime. Lifetimes are determined based on practicalities of cost, weight, size and suitability. A product is not designed to wear out after X number of months or years. I am an engineer and these sorts of considerations are all that matter. Sure, you could use exotic metals and heavier materials, but not without cost.

Does it cost a ton of money to leave a live feed going from the rover 24/7 that can be streamed over the internet? IT seems to me if it was left on 24/7 you would get tons of people interested in science and nasa might even make some money with banner ads or whatever on the page. It'd be like a reality show on mars.

@lordtalon69: It would be really difficult and meaningless to live stream the telemetry from Opportunity; it contains not only pictures (which are not encoded for anything at all like TV, and aren't in color until processed on the ground), but also reams of engineering data (about the health and status of the craft), computer & instrument dumps, and all it's other science instruments. Near-realtime might be a possibility, and a very interesting idea.

@lordtalon69 A nice idea, but bare in mind the travel time of the signal from Mars. It's about 40-45 minutes, IIRC. That might complicate any "live" feed. But it would be cool to watch regular updates from our neighbour, even if it would just be the same old rocky desert most of the time. :-)

@leaf16nut Those are the wide-angle engineering cameras which are used for navigation and don't need to be in color. In fact the contrast of the greyscale images aid in navigation. They also have scientific cameras for full color photography.
