NASA | The Molecule Dissector - Mass Spectrometry

[Whusumnarcuvious]

i can totally tell just by looking at it. There are several pink molecules present in large rotating cloud of rainbow nerds

[zxhthinker]

Who can help me build the speed of light spacecraft, e-mail me.wmv

The spacecraft can beyond the light.

I tell you the secrets of electricity and magnetism, you help me build the spacecraft.

Seek cooperation the global.

Where is the explanations about the Antimass Spectrometer from Black Mesa Research Laboratories? Its a joke. Thanks for the explanetions of this.

[zlobber]

Quadrupole mass spectrometer sounds like the name of a gun from Half-Life/Quake/Unreal/etc

[LTF85199]

this is as clear us telling how gravity works..

[Grzesiekarator]

I'm still not sure what it is, but it looks like a minigun so I'm going to asume it's something just as awesome.

[tostrong4you]

sweet

[iribbbb]

Nasa, Thanks for commenting my modest video. It is an great honor for me.

Your channel is a Very Nice and Great Channel.

[snacksforaddicts]

if you tweak it, it would make one hell of a bong. 

[vegeti10]

finally an interesting video!!

[selearemus]

i love the special effects!

[jean1126]

great video ..but if we don't 'land' on the moon, mars etc...how .. do you get the samples to study? The ISS is great but we NEED to get our feet on solid ground...the MOON!

[selearemus]

@jean1126 we did on moon.

[L00NGB00W]

@jean1126

We do this by sending the testing equipment to the Moon or Mars, rather than brining the rocks back here.

The Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity are each equipped with three different kinds of spectrometers.

And we did recover rocks from the moon, as well as retrieve a lander's camera from an earlier mission. Upon analysis of the camera, a bacterial colony (from Earth) was found alive inside it!

But yeah... to the MOON!!

pretty colors :|

[roguemale57]

My hat is off to you guys.Fascinating and informative stuff. I can now impress my friends by telling them what and how a mass spectrometer works.

[RenegadeClock]

Do you have to clean the mass spectrometer each time you use it?

[Lara24P]

and ... wow that´s a cool scientist...

lol 0:15 he looks like Tom Cruise in Minority Report :)

[Lara24P]

To see what´s inside a molecule... Really interesting! :) I´d like to see that!

[ALaudun]

This is very good. Keep up the good work.

[mallardhead]

These vids are great!

[vancel111]

cool!

[austpom333]

Go the scientists, Give it all to the scientists to run.

[Cenobite1988]

Nice Hologram Device !

[javonoUTube]

I wonder did the software come from the NSA, I bet the algorithms interpreting the data could be used to sort audio wave data. Basically a metaphysical search engine, fantastic, I like mass spectrometers.

[ChauTranMan]

if they could make a molecule dissector they can probably make a matter maker thingy

[rennnsymbol]

Interesting video!

[andersism]

I'd love to work with stuff like this :D

[TK3C]

0:49 In 2010 NASA still uses Windows 98.

[sp00l]

@TK3C I think they actually have their own version of a windows like operating system, not any sort of public release of any microsoft product.

[nwstraith]

Very kewl way of describing this instrument Nasa! A+!

[screamoran]

it looks like a dick in the video tag lol !

[DisturbedRocks31]

WoW! Is this channel actually managed by NASA? Or is it some random NASA wannabe?

[sonnyboyz]

@DisturbedRocks31 It's the real deal.

[enriqueDFTL]

@DisturbedRocks31 This is NASA's actual channel.

[zaghy2zy]

Great visuals! I like them! Makes learning much more interesting and keeps viewer's attention and interest.

[Mikej1592]

neat tools, I use them at work, really cool, I like the electron microscope better though.

[CounterNerd]

Good to know,nasa,good to know.

[Ambushcrysis]

@CounterNerd Good to know, this will surley help me in a life or death situation later in life.

[teemuruskeepaa]

The format of this clip is weird. I can't play it even on 360p

[BonScottAC]

Life is like a Mass Spectrometer, you never know what molecule you're gonna get.

[Lara24P]

@BonScottAC Sooooo true! lol

[watermelonpizza]

whoever is making these futuristic looking videos KEEP IT UP!

they are soooo cool, look like they are from the movies =)

[Saukko31]

Cool.

[Ultra4]

simple is good

[Obstbaum1337]

great video, better than many others!!

[KingGoddard]

@Obstbaum1337 this is one of the first videos that actually taught me something I didn't know. Thanks keep them coming.

[marsCubed]

astrobiological exploration should focus on basaltic glasses (glassy crust on rock and desert surfaces) and space dust IMO.

Many such glasses have recently been confirmed to be microbial in origin on Earth. Similar crusts are present on Mars & other extra-terrestrial bodies.

It may be that microbes even helped form the solar system?!? by acting on pre-solar/solar accretion disk rocks and dust?

Could be a new way of thinking about the cosmology too, if such microbes exist in deep space.

[Renegade30]

It's about to go critical!

[azotjakter09]

one word :MASS EFECT

[JPO1618]

@azotjakter09 ...but that's two words...?

[azotjakter09]

@JPO1618 OK then i have two words for you:MASS EFECT

[azotjakter09]

@Spartan1844 YES 098765432132415415335646236165­474

[orestisDisturbed]

@azotjakter09 one word: DAMN RIGHT!!

[azotjakter09]

@orestisDisturbed one word:MASS EFECT 2

[N1RealMadridFan]

@azotjakter09 Probe Launched.....

[Birdietweet]

interesting stuff

[khunopie]

NASA plus Molecules= Fun!
