Captured from live broadcast on 07/23/10. The Mars Curiosity Rover (aka Mars Science Laboratory) takes a first short drive in the JPL clean room where it is being built. Cheers and commentary provided by mission team members who watched the event from a viewing gallery above the clean room floor. In this clip the rover drives backward for the first time.

  • if only there was peace between all countries, the greatest minds would come together and collaborate, discovering new technologies and sciences. Making peace would be better than fighting over food, water and oil. Instead of fighting we should share our resources, our knowledge and cultures, that would make sense, right?

  • amazing speed....

  • Would you people stop complaining about the speed of the rover, it's going to Mars to OBSERVE, not run a race

  • @downloadstuffgames this is theory, in real life great minds are 0,00000000000001% of the total population

  • How much did this cost again? A billion dollars!?!? That's not it's top speed, is it?

  • Nice!!

    That thing is big, (that's what she said)

    But for that price and size they could have sent a Smart Car ForTwo or even a Yugo and run a little faster on mars.

    Just kidding...Wish you the best Curiosity, Godspeed!

  • @speedysavant Exactly the opposite where I live. Blue light? Policecar/ambulance driving 100mph through downtown. Yellow light? truck picking up garbage.etc. Been that way always here, so this clip looks funny to me.

  • @asgerms Blue lights are generally used for location/non emergency situations, not for "alerts". It's probably just a "Power On" indicator :) If that were a warning light, it'd be yellow.

  • @downloadstuffgames Some of mankind's greatest minds are also some of it's greediest and most belligerent.

  • @haydenlam1 over 10 years...

    but i know you rather want to use every week 1 billion in Afghanistan to kill

    way to go neanderthal !

  • WOW, fastest thing I've ever seen, way to use 2.5 billion USD
