Mars Science Laboratory Lifts Off for Red Planet
Loading...
Uploaded by NASAtelevision on Nov 26, 2011
NASA's Curiosity rover has begun the journey to Mars after its Atlas V rocket launched successfully from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on Nov. 26. Ten instruments aboard MSL will provide new data about whether the area within and around Mars' Gale Crater could ever have supported microbial life. The Mars Science Laboratory is expected to reach Mars next August.

@IQ20000Berta it's called a bolt

@hardstyle905 yes. thank you

@gekko14 The speed of sound on Mars is only 2/3 that of the Earth's. Therefore the winds would sound a lot deeper. Also because of its sparse atmosphere, sound waves don't travel very far. If you were standing on Mars and screamed, a person standing 15m away from you wouldn't be able to hear it. Amazing isn't it?

@Herarry The problem is that this would need a lot of bandwidth, which is needed for other things. And for 99% of the flight there would be nothing to see... except darkness.

Did anyone else think the spaceship was going to crash because of the angles the shots were taken?
