  • how did they film the rocket lmao

  • ow btw

    we go to Mars and find life

    extremophiles of Earth :-p

  • is there a place where we ants can shitshat 'bout science

    cause one ant on it's own ain't smart

    but a million.,.

  • they could use water pipelines from earth to mars..not a big deal i guess ;P

  • i guess we'll find out when we have the first manned mission to mars

  • i wsih i was born in the year 4000 or 3000....the iphone 400gs

  • is there part 2??

  • Damnit now i wish i was born in the year 3000 or something...but technology would be so awesome then

  • one year later, did they find anything..?

  • i think they are stupid, how do they now that the "life" needs water? Life on earth needs water, but it isnt sure that life on mars need it.

  • I was thinking of that too.

  • hopefully theres hot girls on the other earth if there is one.

  • I know I want to know what it feels like to slip my salty, lubricated dick into some wet alien pussy then fuck her until my dick gets entangled in alien guts. Oh shit... I need to clean my pants.

  • all of you should consider how much technical work and many mathematical and physical calculations took for NASA just to sent a probe to Mars, so pls appreciate their work just to fill our minds with knowlegde of our own origin in the universe :)

  • I can't agree with you at all. I watched the enire show on Nat Geo and I was just appauled at the idea that scientists are dedicating so much time to creating a livable planet instead of saving a dying one. I have always been opposed to space exploration because of its expense and relative productivity. But we just can't wait to destroy another planet or moon!!!! Redirecting astroids and rearranging planets?? Its sad how selfishness, curiosity, and greed make the world(and galaxy) go round.

  • well, if you can't agree with me, i have to agree with you on your comment. unfortunately, behind every space exploration, there is the interest of colonizing other planets. i'm not saying that it will not be an achievement, but we should protect our planet, or at least take care of it first, cuz earths are definetely hard to find.

  • Dont get me wrong. I marvel at what we can do, and the geniuses who hatch these ideas. I just wish they applied more science to our planet. After all, humans are not the only inhabitants here, yet we do the most harm.....have a good day, wildalienplanet.

  • i didn't get you wrong, cuz i all ready agreed with you :) and a good day to you too :)

  • I know :) I just wanted to convey a respect and affinity for science as well as my concern for it's possible direction. Thanks for not being one of those people who viciously attacks when another disagrees with you. But it seems in fact we do agree that science is both astonishing and objectionable (at times).

  • tell me about it ! I know the feeling of vicious reply attacks on me, i even got bullied on you tube by some dumbass who kept on bothering me yesterday, which was soooo uncool!!!

    anyway you are very welcome, and thank you too for being so kind in your replies. :)

  • Your comment made me laugh! If you let yourself, you could do nothing but engage all day on this damn site! When I first signed up and posted comments the jackals were all over me like white on rice . I felt compelled to fire back but I learn quickly that this site is infested with people waiting to pounce and its not worth the time. Glad to see theres a couple of decent people on youtube.

  • yep you are right, youtube is addictive. why should i worry anyway about some bafoons running around in this site. i'm glad too that i made you laugh and that i had this decent conversation with you :) cheers.

  • Cheers.....

  • Maybe the U.S.A.,Chinese,Or Russian government found out their was life on mars already.Maybe they just don't want to share it to the world untill they know they can control or communicate with it.

  • mars has little water and maybe its the future of earth on what is based with the global warming

  • but you have to consider the fact for your information :), that mars lost its atmosphere and eventually its oceans by global cooling, and by the lack of volcanic activity and lesser gravity. Earth will eventually end up like Venus in a billion yeras time, where the oceans will totally evaporate by a massive greenhouse. effect

  • how do you know..?

  • I agree with you treatsnsweet

  • I don't really think there is life on Mars. We wouldn't known about it by now, right? Anyway, although there was water on Mars in the past, evidence suggests that it was acidic and salty--which leads me to the conclusion that it wouldn't be able to support life. But then again, if there are- or were- indeed "aliens" on Mars, who is to say whether they need(ed) water or not to survive? After all, we only have knowledge of what is required for organisms on Earth to live, not what "aliens" need.

  • I meant to write "would've" not "wouldn't". Sorry about that. ;)

  • they found a planet that is looks like earth so many there is aliens

  • there is no aliens everything came from the ground i can explain why because im a scientist that researched this for many years i will be willing to argue an win against anyone who denies this comment nasa is waisting money an time

  • You're so full of shit, your eyes are brown.

  • dude would it kill you to use proper grammar? all you do is post the most pointless crap on random videos. i believe in evolution... and hopefully your kind(naturally retarded) would die out. would make this world a better place.

  • how bout you guys go paint your faces u two fucking clowns an get off my nads

  • You're such a dumb shit...two days ago, REAL American, German, and Swedish scientists used a super computer along with collected data from various sensors in space to calculate an approximate number of "Earth like" planets in our galaxy. The number was in the tens of thousands.

  • lol if there is earth planets in are galaxy tell witch one you would want to live on, life comes from algae,algae produces oxygen to support plants, humuns an every living thing on the planet without algae the first form of life there is nothing algae even created water we are the only life form in this galaxy but there is life in other galaxies but there so far who cares if they exist

  • I honestly can't even comprehend what you are trying to say. Take English 101 and then get back to me.

    BTW, it took you 3 weeks to respond to my comment!?

  • Ehm, you're babeling shit. Algae didn't create anything. And Humans certainly aren't the only life form in the galaxy, looking arround myself I already see at least 10 other life forms.

  • lol ok your right we just came from nothing we didnt evolve we just grow up an we just an started biulding shit

  • Lol, when did I say that? XD

    But We did NOT evolve from plants.

  • Did'nt we evolved from microbes it was a long cycle of billions of years wasnt it? im sure microbes were created by organic compound elements. i remember hearing that somewhere. Microbes could exist pretty much anywhere when u think about where we have been find bacteria lately.

  • @a2dak306: yes, we evolved from bacteria. Somewhen some 2-3 billion years ago, a molecule formed with the ability to replicate: DNA. In the course of millions, of years it evolved, until there was the first bacteria, procariote cells...they had no nucleus. It took another 2 billion years until today. And, the first bacteria evolved while the earth's surface was still partially molten rock. Carbon is an amazing atom, isn't it?

  • omg being a martian and like meeting a lander would be so scary if u didnt know wut it was.

  • this is interesting. but i think they wont find a shit

  • that would be a lil creepy if there is life on mars

  • wow.. we really know nothing... if you think about the bigger picture, we're just a tiny speck in the universe and we don't even know about our own planet let alone the solar system and beyond.. its mad

  • How can you say what "Aliens" do and dont need to live? Yeah we know about what everything on EARTH needs to survive; but we have no idea and no comprehension of the needs of other life forms.

  • Yeh, i totally agree

  • ya, but i think that it probubly still needs water. i don't reallly know, but I don't think that they need like oxygen and stuff.

  • if the universe popped out of the big bang

    imagine how many universes have been ?how many times has the world "ended"? how high has their technology reached ?

    IDK !

  • lol hightech ship

  • How can anyone be sure that there isn't life on mars, There are some animals that don't require water. For example the Kangaroo Rat doesn't require water to live.

  • Yeah but it is composed of mostly water.

  • All mammals need water?

  • ya they do, they just get it from the food they eat. People can survive on watermelon, as long as they take vitamins with them.

  • A tad cold on Mars

  • There is no INTELIGENT life on Mars. Why the hell would they be hiding for? If there was life on Mars, they'd be roaming about the place wondering is there life on Earth? Who knows..... There's life in other galaxys most likely. But creeps me out to think about it haha!

  • Yeah, I totally agree, I don't think there "intelligent" life on mars or we would've found it years ago. And thinking theres life in another galaxy creeps me out aswell :o to think that theres more living creatures out there on another planet like us xD!

  • if there is any life on mars its is a unerground civilization miles underground prolly intellgewnt too but since there underground they wont be as smart as us.

  • There is water on Mars. Enough to satisfy the requirements of a manned mission which is in the works.

  • haha life on mars

    thats almost as funny as womens rights

  • roflmao

  • What does "roflmao" mean?

    just asking.

  • rolling on floor laughing my ass out

  • how the fuck can you "laughing your ass out"?

  • rolling on floor laughing my ass off

  • roflmao=roll on floor laughing my ass off

  • ROFL.

  • LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • haha! All I can say was at least you got +4 :D So women must not do youtube lmao!

  • The real issue for these missions in my opinion is the search for oil.

    Fcuk USA

  • Chances are, there is/was water on mars. If it still is there, it will be under the surface. If there was water, then there was most likely life on mars.

  • i thought they announced there was water on mars a few months ago, they proved the polar caps are ICE and not other compounds. Maybe mistaken though im sure you lot will be letting me know asap if i am :P

  • Yeah, I think there was water mars. I forgot about that. I read it somewhere. I'm not sure if it was on the polar caps though.

    I think they WILL find life on mars.

  • i see water zomg!!!!!!!! aliens

  • i Dont think we cant live in mars cuz there is no water

  • It's telling how the Americans are still trying to own space.

  • "holy sh-t guys!!!!!! we found some dirt on some kinda uninhabited planit that we find interesting for no sensible reason!!!!!" meh gawd

  • if there was intellegent life on other planets they'd most probably look quite lke us.

  • "if there was intellegent life on other planets they'd most probably look quite lke us."

    Why's that?

  • look how the univers is big do u think that their just hunmains is this univers i dont think

  • Yes and they're not Caucasian people either!!!!

  • National Geographic lies....a lot. Did you see their "expose" on 9-11. What a joke. Oh yeah, Rupert Murdoch pretty much owns NG.

  • nothing 2 :-) about its something 2 :*-*(

  • so whats the answer?? is there a life on mars? damn..the question is still unswerable for like...30 yeaRS??!! DAMN....

  • i would rather know that there is life on mars then new fish in the ocean and shit!!

  • UHHHHH Grrrrr Scientist should put money towards exploring the ocean!!!

  • Scientists dont like getting wet

  • oh, I understand now...oooh I swear if they do find like an ocean under the surface of mars and start exploring it I'll hunt you down to your youtube channel and leave a mean comment! lol :)

  • Scientist are stupid. If its a different planet then theres prbly a chance that the creatures don't live exaxtly the same way as everything on earth. Duh stupidasses!

  • hsdfjhd

  • lol Naked Science

  • i cant beleive that ignorant ppl would would think that the american milatary would let anything happen that could harm there own ppl...NO

  • Remember the atom blaster people thought we wer gonna die but we didnt my mates mate cried but it didnt happen

  • Or so called Large Hadron Collider.

  • they've only charged it up, the collision is taking place at bout october, then we could die lol.

  • umm wat u mean in 2012???

  • 2012 the end of times

  • Don't worry about it. A lot of stupid people believe the world will end in 2012.

    It's just superstition.

  • May be.

  • Oh yeah? Wait til 2012 and see what happens. Believe me, you will only be disappointed.

  • We could be looking for the wrong things too. What if water is not necessary for all life. For instance every species on the planet needs oxygen to survive. What other life needs nitrogen or some other element. Any way i do believe and hope there is life out there. I twould be awfully sad if we really were alone.

  • So you know of THEM.

  • No i wish. Just pointing out some different options. Thinking outside the box.

  • (CRAP)Oh... ok.

  • thats what i think-maybe some alien species dont need water or oxygen to survive

  • I agree with you its good to be open minded about that, considering that the universe is to big just to put earth logic to it.

    Life as we know it is not possible without oxygen might more of a accurate anser but even so noone knows whats out thier so they can say what they want alot of its only theory.

  • thear is life on other planet cause we are a planet and we have life so why can't thear be life on other planet

  • scientists have already identified over 1 billion planets with similar conditions to the earth, so yes, there is a high chance of life on other planets, the trouble is getting there.

  • "scientists have already identified over 1 billion planets with similar conditions to the earth"

    You sure about that? Where did you hier this?

  • in an astronomy class. when i say conditions i mean the distance of a planet in relation to the star or star it orbits.

  • Ok cool I don't doubt there are billion's of life potental world's but so far from what I'v herd astronamers have only properly identifed hundred's of worlds not million's but I get what you mean.

  • no they can estimate the orbits of stars and thus their planets, from only a few stars and thus they've identified millions.

  • It's relly amazing how far the technology has come in just the last 25 year's. Now all that's left is to finally answer the Drake equation.

    Btw I'v been thinking alot about this recently do you think we'er relly going out into space to explore or to conquer it?

  • well i will tell you this the technology right know is not able to realy to travel past 3 plaents (with a manned ship) but in the near furture after they have recerse engineered alien tech. i will be fighting for the sloar system and mabye even each other.

  • I think our hunger for resources will get the better of us, in the end we'll probably be galatic imperialists.

  • in answer to your question i think its a distinct possibility, however, it could just as easily follow the path of the theory of 'de-evolution', i think its really just a guessing game but if we COULD colonise planets it would definetly help to have a positive effect, maybe we humans would stop killing each other for once?

  • "maybe we humans would stop killing each other for once?" I think violence & killing are is much a part of our nature as love & compassion, maby only to achieve such a goal is for the entire human race to become cold & unfeeling machines and the price for this would be our humanity. But we can allways live in hope that we can atleast live responcably with each other.

  • They have been to some too.

  • because our water and ground are visible. the other planets look like anything.

  • if it does then life on earth is not unique durr?????

  • why do they use red filters for the sky etc..i mean just because mars is seen as red from space dosnt mean its soil / rocks / sky is red...just look at earth , its blue from space but i havnt found a single blue rock yet !!......NASA lies and sucks....

  • umm the blue is water so i highly doubt your gonna find a blue rock

  • That was the single most retarded thing I've ever read, and my brother has downs.

  • haha and the surface of mars is a redish colour anyway lol

  • I know its stupid that they start off looking for water, but thats all they know, they cant base their theories off of anything else. Although I do believe the government has found shit that they would not tell us, because it would probably cause some type of chaos, some people would probably panic at the idea that there are "aliens" out there. the thing that would be fucked up is if we discovered something that ended up killing us all.

  • another retarded quote: "if phoenix finds what it's looking for, it'll change our understanding of the solar system"... what a retarded remark!!! as if they didn't believe there was life away from earth. Saying that there can't be life in billions of galaxies around and a droplet of water found of one planet in our system migth prove the life is possible must mean people who say this must be absolutely retarded despite of their training. Like a couple of monkeys at the wheel... funny.

  • "if it does..then life on earth is not unique.." .....DUUUUUUHHHH!!!!

  • lol

  • I think there just looking for life that is simular to our own cause that is the only thing we know.

  • its kinda retarded how they think water is the key of life.. well on earth it is .. but else where life could live off other stuff

  • i agree 100%

  • Mars had to have life because if you look at it very closely it's northern and southern hemisphere almost have the same identical chemicals of ice and that means that many years back in 1200 who knows what type of species lived there but it may take generations for mars to have life which is sad because I would very like to explore there could be interesting.

  • forgot to had...Although Mars maybe our next planet to live in the next 30 years you never know a lot can happen with our technology.

  • They cant go on there scacecraft cuz the spacecraft is too slow it might take like 3 month and its too dangerous

  • I agree with Dokedyaunhe... For an itelligent species, Humans are so shallow. We compare every other living organism to the ones on our planet. Just because we know what life requires here on Earth, that doesnt mean that every other living creature in the infinity of space requires the same things. The most inhospitable of planets could harbour life....Come on NASA...it's not rocket science...lol

  • I think it would cool to find water on other planets but how do we know that the elements that bring us life are the same that would bring life to other organisms. Just because life as we know it needs hydrogen, oxygen, ect. doesn't mean that other life form, if they exist, (which i do believe, it would be ignorant to think we are the only life in this fast universe) haven't adapted or even evolved from other elements. Some that we not even know exist. Just food for thought. take it or leave it

  • i agree

  • everyone on here talkin crap to other people n say F this and F that. ur jus as retarded as the people ur tryin to yell at.stop tryin to b an internet hardass theres no such thing

  • Why can't they just go to mars with their spacecraft with astronauts there and land?

  • there are a million and a half reasons for that, many many problems arise when ur talkin long duration space flight w/biological item like people.were fragile

  • How long does a normal space shuttle get there and also why cant they just bring foods.

  • takes about 6months to get there if u leave at the best time wen earth n mars r lined up properly, n its insanely expensive to put weight n2 space.4every pound its like 10,000dollars.so they would need food2last the6month trip there, the 18months on the planet and 6months back to earth, thats alota food.so id b more efficiant if they could jus take small seeds n grow alot of their diet.

  • How come it takes 10,000 dollars for every pounds thats too much

  • {-_-}zzzz boring u suck

    zzzzz

  • may be Noah's ark would be a huge spaceship to mars

  • I agree to what some of the people here say. The universe is so huge and thinking that were alone is really a bit naive. Tendecy is some smart people get mad if they cant understand certain things or rather hide it from the public because they cant explain it yet. It will be really great to be able to send some kind of bacteria to mars, since it could survive almost any kind of environment and even evolve into something new.

  • I've heard from someone that were not the only humans in space and that before dinosuars where here they dropped us off in earth.

  • Life is probably a natural part of the evolution of the Universe, so is intelligence. If we extract the postulation that information cannot be lost (still a theory but it bears up well so far thx to Dr Hawkings) then it's quite possible we will evolve to our own deification.

  • terry we are a virus that has infected earth......accept it...thats all we are..

  • woah that's positive.

  • They spent $420 million dollars on the Phoenix project, and got info on a few rocks and canyons. Great job NASA! Almost as bad as the $820 million on the Twin Rovers.

  • yes it's much easier to sit arund and bitch but you're right they should have built a couple of more Burger Kings instead....nitwit

  • Just wait till we take over your backwoods little potato growing "Nation". Were gonna build like 8 Mc Donalds in your neighborhood and your momma will be working at KFC.

  • k make your own comeback. im not even in this discussion and i know your a retard.

  • My own comeback? WTF? I hate arguing with stupid people on you tube. I can't fucking punch you, and your too dumb to realize what I just said.

  • AHAHHAHAHAHAHA im too dumb to realize what u sayd? u were fucking talking about mcdonalds u dumb shit. do you need to be a fucking rocket scientist to understnad mcdonalds? lmao! wow.... the guy before you made a hilarious comment about burger king. then u realized it was funny and reworded it to attack the same guys statement. sure we both bitch at people on youtube, but at least i make mine up....stop commenting on youtube if you cant think of anything, fucking deuche nigger.

  • nicely said Terry!

  • If people seriously think that out out millions of planets we are the only on that just happened to have life on it then they are very naive. I don't think there are any silly E.T looking 'aliens' out there but I definately think there is something. Maybe a species that can teach us more about helping the planet thrive rather than ripping through it lik a plague.

  • TerrysBeautifulAngel, i agree. the circumstances needed for life to be sustained are very rare, but given how extremly fucking huge the galaxy is, there is a good chance we are not alone. it's very likely that we could the most advanced, but chances are there is some sort bacteria, simple life, or even semi-sentient life somewhere else on one of the hundreds of billions of planets in just our galaxy.

  • Have they ever checked underground on mars? more fossils? water? possibly even a sustained form of underground vegetation?

  • if there is life on mars, we need to be careful that we don't give them smallpox or whatever other infection we might carry. like what happened to the native americans. If there is not life on mars, we need to hurry up and put some there.

    I would go myself if I was smart enough to be an astronaught. but if not me, then somebody needs to. I would hate to see our species burn out and fade away on this one planet. I think once we get the ball rolling, Earth will be fine.

  • I agree let mars be a planet of green sticky weed!!!!!

  • very unlikely but par say that mars has a top layer. Not exactly the crust of mars but just a thin layer. And the people live under it. I know stupid idea.

  • not at all stupid, I say we start knocking on that fucking floor so they let us in or talk to us, anything is possible, just because things on earth are a certain way, does not mean they would have to be the same way on another planet.

  • Mars is beautiful, not like Earth but...

  • hahaha, no one knows, so we MUST search, far and wide,

  • the life on earth need water.. but the life else where might be some ohter kind of life which does not require water nor Air.. think outside the box!

  • im sure they understand that there on mars not in another galaxy mars is different but not that different to stay in the box this time ok speedy.

  • do you realise how cold Mars is?

    water would freeze upon touching the ground.

  • hey you didnt finish the whole video-

  • Did anyone ever stop to think that a life form Evolving on another planet, could i theory breath a different gas, or liquid in terms of water based animals. but we claim that all life forms are carbon based and drink water in order to survive, but wouldnt it be possible for a creature based on another element to exsist as long as it evolved under differnt cercumstances from Earth?

  • no, u are the first one to think that thought.

  • its just i watched stargate and Evolution yesterday and both had life forms based on a different element, which is a theory which could be infact true, so again in theory it would be far better to search for active life the the "building blocks" of our own form of life.

  • maybe they are really searching for the origin of humans...

  • were talking about mars tho not Saturn or titan im sure they know this they are on mars right now remember
