It's the fifth anniversary of NASA's rover mission to Mars, but both "Spirit" and "Opportunity" were only supposed to last three months. The rovers just made it through another Martian winter to reach yet another incredible milestone. http://www.sciencentral.com/video/

  • Rover analysis of the soil reveals very little iron oxide. That was the assumed explanation for the red color of the SURFACE , before we got there. Surface color of a planet has nothing to do with the color of the sky.

    Sky color has to do with how the atmosphere filters the light spectrum.

    We see a red sky on earth at sunrise and sunset because sunlight travels through more atmosphere.

    And yet, Mars atmosphere is supposed to be 1/100th that of earth so how can the sky be red ?

  • Remote rovers has taken a big leap into martian exploration.

  • How did i get here....

  • Send a space WRX STi. . Marz would have been explored by now..

  • I love Steve. Not only is he smart, he is also good looking and very informative. He captures your attention when you watch him talk about his Rovers. He brings you with him when he is talking. That to me is just awesome. I would love to meet him and get his signature!! :)

  • @jamezrojer If You still are here on Yoyube (I saw this today) please explain how this (the existence of "jins") is confirmed?

  • that guy reminds me of a guy called todd howard a game developer

  • is that like my rusty barbell set in the garage sir hunh!

  • i met steve today at wenonah parade (his home own) and got his signature

  • Sounds pretty far fetched. Although I do recall that the very first image that NASA displayed, way back when showed a light blue sky.

    Even now, years later, a few images emerge with a nearly white sky with a bluish hue.

    What we need is to send some guys and gals out there to have a look around.

    But first, back to the moon to reclaim one of the flags. That would be neat.

  • rofl, where did you hear that nonsense.
