Curiosity: Animation

[CometStar10]

My god. This is soo cool!!!

[DaKyler]

I like how you can hear wind at 1:13-1:25.

[simonmedia7]

@DaKyler There can't be winds at mars?

[DaKyler]

@simonmedia7 My sentiments exactly.

[martinille]

we are UFO for mars...

[82Dicki]

That is so fuckin cool. NASA should have there own sky channel .......like ESPN! I'd subscribe + thousends more! Be extra funding for more cool shit!

[gsavcom]

was it/is there footage of the landing being tested on earth?

[jonbirks]

Seeing as its neuclear powered, when the mission is over. Can it blow itself up? lol. Seriously though, i hope it gets there! Im not very optimistic about the sky crane though. Lets hope theres not strong winds when it comes to land! Mars is known for its dust storms!

[spudyspockspon]

but... will it blend?

Nasa budget - 17 billion

Military budget - 700 billion.

Who said we are intelligent again?

[julittok]

@itdavi You have what you have thank's to the army, every american cityzen owns $48,268 dollars of the national debt, in my country every citizen owns $4,240 dollars and we have all the international organisms puting presure on us all the time, wile US sould be allready in bankruptcy. Who has the bombs make the rules, so be proud that your contry is wise enough to keep the military budget healthy. Or say goodbye even to the curiosity mission.

Wow. This is the shit. 

[MrSkull322]

Szerintem marhajó.

[whiteskullwhiteskull]

but... wind on Mars

[MrCabaal]

Seriously impressive, lets hope the sky crane works!

[Russelvideos]

I still remember Spirit and Opportunity, incredibles machines working for us, so long. Now, Curiosity, should be called "Amazing". Good luck with this mission. Nice presentation.

No solar panels, running of a nuclear power source?

[Qillaq91]

Fantastic idea

[wertacus]

there's no wind on mars.

[DarthBismarck]

@wertacus Then what caused the month-long dust storm Mariner 9 encountered in 1971?

[SilverTissues]

Rover?! Come here boy

[Gorilder]

U.S. no Human engineering at its greatest.

[johnnyxp64]

[swulling]

[illajsa]

Las ruedas en caso de avería, se podrían eliminar...para no tener que arrastrar algo inútil?

[mphet26]

I like it. Always watch in NASA projects.

[MemorysMystic]

[ProzacR]

[sebastiansz]

nicely presented. good work.

[hyllusband]

[GENeric110100100]

@SeiteNichtGefunden the opportunity rover was supposed to be a 90 day mission. they hoped it would work. Its been there for 7 years now, and is still operating and healthy. I think this is one of the most amazing projects in human history. Lets hope its lasts until we can get up to mars and give it a pit stop. hehehe

[kashlineboy]

Fascinating!
