- Since landing on Mars in 2012, the Mars Curiosity rover has travelled 22km across the Martian surface - discovering evidence of ancient water on the red planet. But how long can Curiosity survive on Mars? This video looks at Curiosity's greatest discoveries and how its power source will eventually run out.

I hope Curiosity will end up in a museum one day.
yeah
in a museum on mars
@@nelmro527 the sad thing is all these robots are far away from eachother. so if we save curiosity for example, opportunity will probably never be saved. same for the other robot that i forgot it's name (read more)
*Edit : OK I KNOW ITS SPIRIT NOW STOP REPLYING*
It's not that easy...
On Mars
One day when we have a colony on Mars, we should make a museum, dedicated to all the martians rovers that paved the way for us.
Dennis......Step right over here, Folks, View the historic Martian Rover and get your red popcorn!
PERIOD.
Sojurnour, Spirit, Oppurtunity, Curiosity and Persceverence.
@FawnisCool the capital of mars would be likely named as Ares City, maybe we named each District of Mars would be after the Rovers
@@shamsudeenma1928 the capital should be named musk
Imagine curiosity and perseverance met up and are just like: uhh I found an alien?
Edit: listen I have no clue wether curiosity is the dead one or opportunity is but it’s a joke and I know they are miles apart
Unless Perseverance has lucidous range that wouldn't happen
TGPO GD stop being so serious it’s obviously a joke
jhlrose
No it’s ok
@@jhlrose I guess Ingenuity could try
Alien bois. A new Netflix series.
I know this isn’t 100% accurate. But I still love how the essence of Oppy’s final transmission was “My battery is low, and it’s getting dark”
Fuck man thats deep
well the actual transmission was no so poetic. The poetry version followed David Bowie 's lyrics in "Space Oddity"
STILL if you take the transmission to human level, it was very close to the poetic version.
That made me cry
😭😭😭 ya that was sadder than human death ngl well maybe not but you know it was sad
CollectPanda33 I know! When I first heard that it made me really sad! I felt so bad because I also pictured it saying it with a wall-E voice!😭😭😭 (I know the rovers don’t actually talk but you get what I mean!)
Some day in the future, someone on Mars will walk to dead Curiosity and he or she will touch it. Just think about that...
this day is not even that far away i think
Amazing
aXimo cool right
SnoopyDoo and then notice the nasa symbol
Some day
if we ever go to mars, we gotta save curiosity, opportunity and spirit too
Edit : you guys won't stop replying about spirit so i added him here too
Maybe build a museum around it. It'll give the Martian kids goosebumps.
Repairing them probably wouldn’t be a great idea, when we could make a new rover with better technology and send it to a new area. Maybe if we already happened to be nearby them and we had the supplies then we could repair it or recover it for study/museum.
And other landers like Vikings
@Niko Umicevic and sojurner!
Opportunity is tost.
I somehow imagine a Martian Astronaut Slowly swiping around Curiosity's Frame while he talks about it like to an old rusty car he found in an old barn and has witnessed loads of storys.
Chang Noi Tnks fo the correction. 😁
Alex2070 Wait, what did you say originally?
Buck Dog Marsian
Alex2070 Oh, okay.
When you internet speeds are the same as the curiosity rover 😭
It takes a proper Spirit, a nice Opportunity, and curiosity to explore such a planet!
What a perserverence.
Just a short stay..... (Sojourn)
and some ingenuity too!
I get your point but those are the names of the rovers that we sent to mars
Nice one 😄
When Curiosity dies, eventually the rover will be found and probably in the future will become a designated monument; to the discoveries and exploration of the generations before. And at least to those at that time when the rover is a monument, would include us.
Ikr wow
Slight problem, its powered by a nuke
@@a_dreamer8612 so what , mars is getting a lot of radiation from sun anyway
Why would that be a problem, @@a_dreamer8612?
I should still be alive when that happens but ill be old as fuck!
Opportunity's last words: My Battery is Low, and its getting Dark
Curiosity's last words: I am Curious to see what I will see next
Sorry, Liz but Opportunity didn't send that message. Rovers [to date] do not communicate like that.
banana junior 9000 r/woosh again
yes it dose search it up
@@banana_junior_9000 bruh educate yourself
@@banana_junior_9000 r/foundthedumbass
i remember the first rover on Mars during the 90's ...Sojourner was only 65 cm long, cute thing.
I remember that too. The 2020 rover will be as big as a car, we've come a long way.
Mark Richards Curiosity is already about the size of a car! the 2020 is about 5 inches longer.
@MaggsDroid | 5 inches are 42,7 Freedom, right?
You mean Sojourner from 1997?
I wonder where SoJourner is located at this moment. I want that thing to come back to life ;(
If we live on Mars I hope they make a statue dedicated to each rover where they last stopped working
Roses are red
I don't feel so good Mr. Stark
My battery's low
And its getting dark
NOOOO
@RickAstely Bot I know. But the "I don't fell so good, Mr Stark" NOOO
Cries
:’) beautiful
RTG is the way to go... and go and go. Imagine a rover lasting so long that the wheels are wearing out. The 2020 rover’s wheels will be beefier.
Rtg is powering this poor voyager probe and it's going dark in 2027... There's no infinite source of energy and all of these awesome machine will stop a day or another...
Atleast it's safe from corona
+1 updoot
Umm it’s a robot.
@sbmphr
Maybe idk,
You sure? I heard they didn’t install an antivirus
Ha ha ha
Curiosity will always be my favorite! It has the best name, and it was the rover I grew up knowing about. It landed in 2012 (when I was just 6) and I was a huge fan of Angry Birds, so seeing their Space game make levels about the rover landing was so cool and fascinating!!
I’ll always miss 2012-2016. That really felt like the peak of culture and my personal life. There was no homework, no virus, no parents divorcing... Not a care in the world. Just a 6-10 year old kid living out his life and having a damn good time
@Spicyleaves i'm not sure, why are you alive? why am _I_ alive?
@@TSwany You're here, and that's not an accident. The way we feel about those Mars rovers is akin to the way the Lord God feels about us. Broken connection is painful. We need Him, and we need each other.
Thank you NASA, scientists and our government for investing our taxes dollars in something to give us this missions, giving all of us something to dream in hard days.
The people that dont support what NASA and SpaceX are doing are weak and will never be remembered.
@MrJured100 Total world economy is about 138 trillion USD (along same lines even when you commented ) so I am not sure what u r on either ...
Why try so hard to find life in space when we have only explored 5 percent of the ocean?
@MrJured100 instead of exploring the space even more
We should find a way to mine astreoid(that contain gold,platinum,iron,etc)
With that resources we can have endless exploration
@@rockmaster182 That's- a good idea but we need to figure out how would the rover will be able to touchdown to the asteriod and then find a way for it to able to mine then store those materials and then return to earth safely
Talk about social distancing...
Curiosity headed all the way to Mars?! That's some dedication...
Curiosity launched in 2012. You should’ve used Perseverence for the joke.
Perseverance: is that you?
Curiosity: *hello*
Perseverance *hi*
R.I.P opportunity
You are still missed
I will try to get enough money to see all the dead rovers on mars
Pixel Man Why cant the new rover clean off the solar panels on the old one?
Should have brought a dust broom ?
stclairstclair Well its not like curiosity can easily travel the distance lmao
Opportunity yes
th-cam.com/video/m0P8ikZR6PE/w-d-xo.html
dont forget about Spirit❤️
Imagine curiosity's final words is just a youtube link which leads to a rickroll
Lmao underrated comment
Cant wait for the launch of perseverance its gonna be a good one 👍👍
Curiosity and Perseverance meeting eachother be like:
Curiosity: what the hell is that on your face
Perseverance: oh it’s a mask
Curiosity: uhm why
Perseverance: ... long story
i dont get it tbh
nvm
Who else is watching after Perseverance launch 2020…
Me
Me
Me
me too!
Tomorrow is the landing. The Hype is high
Perseverance: oh God, where the am I?
Sojourner, Opportunity, Spirit and Curiosity: WELCOME TO MARS, its party time!!! 🎉🎊🤣😂
Curiosity:try to lose the contact right away just like sojourner, Opportunity and spirit told me before. So we can have party all day long.
Even though they are just machines remotely controlled from Earth, I can't help but feel like they are alive and have personalities.
I have been on curiosity mission since it launched....
When it goes silent it will be like loosing a child.... I feel the next rovers are much advanced but it is goung to tuough woth the weather conditions
Did you stroke out while writing that? It started off strong but fell off towards the end.
it's so sad
@@whquarters8468
_They cried_
that moments you are watching this just after perseverence just landed while still being mind blown by the fact that it did
2022 be like
Curiosity : my battery is low , it's getting dar-
Perseverance : i got you.
“My battery is low and it's getting dark.”
- Opportunity, 2018
We miss you!! 😭💕
The reason you feel such a human attachment to these rovers in their human-like demeanor, the camera looking like a cute little eye, and overall just a part of ourselves, as it's not a NASA achievement, but a human one.
5:20. Jesus man, why did you have to do that to me.
Ikr
And the success story goes on... Perseverance (with Ingenuity) has now been on Mars for one year, while is Curiosity still working. Great stuff.
Imagine making a mars lander and it not being destroyed on impact
*this post made by the ESA gang*
What you mean? Europe space agency want there lander to destroyed on impact,but why?
NOXi Z no but the ESA has a track record of crashing stuff instead of landing it
Imagine destroying a Mars spacecraft because you don't understand metric. Gawd bless Murrica.
JCO2002 weird how Murica seem to be the only one who can reliably land stuff on mars
@@jb76489 a lot of that just has to do with how the US has spent the most energy and money into figuring out how to do it
While most of the space resources have simply focused on other things
Alright mankind, when we first hit the martian ground, our top priority would be to recover Opportunity and Curiosity. They are the Earth's best bois.
Perseverance has landed! “TOUCHDOWN CONFIRMED”
Yep, very excited to see what Percy and Ingenuity will be doing!
5:18 Until Curiosity sends its last bit of data and disappears silently into the Martian landscape. Me: Heartbroken
Opportunity is still the champ of long distance travel. 🖖🏽
The day curiositys battery finally dies, a part of my sould is gonna leave my body cause this thing has been my child hood rover.
It is a good thing for 1.25 speed. Listening to you on regular speed is slower than I can I feel myself aging
Spirit went dead.
Opportunity went dead.
We still have Curiosity and Perseverance though.
Space will always amaze me.
3:23 there is a flash of another image
curiosity: ohh a new friend!
percy: uhm, friend-S !
curiosity: what
percy: fly now buddy
ingenuity: ola!
They should program the rovers to traverse to a specific location as its last message, so that if one of the rovers gets a lucky gust of wind or something to give it some power, it automatically starts going there. I think that might be useful for a few different reasons
@Spicyleaves Did you watch the video?
Imagine perseverance and curiosity meeting in mars “wait WHY ARE THEY GETTING ONTOP OF EATCH OTHER?
When humans go to Mars, we should find Curiosity, Opportunity, and Spirit and let Perseverance study the peices of history
Curosity is estimated to live up to 14 yrs old, its not dead yet, and might even be still alive when we move to mars.
@Spicyleaves save sojourner too
Hopefully one day we can revisit and rescue all these rovers, and curiosity will be there to greet us
Duse I swear, the only robots that can make me cry are the rovers, I wouldn't cry for them if they are just controlled by humans here on Earth but them doing thing by their own and having them named is like giving birth to a living thing that you can bee so attach unlike any other robots that when broken, you can have a replacement. These rovers are SO important to humanity, somebody someday needs to rescue these living things and bring them back to life to send them back here on Earth, then we will declare them as "HUMANITY'S HOPE"
Opportunity and Curiosity should be placed in a museum once we arrive on mars and uncover them, either a museum on earth or even one on the planet it helped so much to research.
when curiosity meets perseraverance:
Curiosity: *yo dude check out this new dust i found*
Perserverance: *yo sick i also found this cool rock*
I honestly wanted to just say that you have a great level of seriousness in your voice which goes along perfectly with your videos
Wow, I never knew that Curiosity ran on a nuclear generator!
I thought that it ran on solar panels too. Thinking about it though, it makes complete sense, as some previous rovers died because they couldn't get enough energy from their solar panels because of dust buildup.
I don't want to think about that. RIP Oppey and Spirit.
no one talks about spirit though, it found white dusty stuff on mars

@@joeyknight8272 read in a book from the local library a few years back, the rover had been damaged before and had to drive backwards, then one day the rover, dragging its wheel or something ( tbh I have not read about this for a long time so some of this might be wrong) since that wheel was the one that was damaged, and the dragging of the wheel exposed a bright white silica, which led to the strongest proof at the time that there was water on mars since the amount of silica was so concentrated that the only way it could have got there that they belive that there was water
TLDR: it found a large concentrated amount of silica, that amount needs water, it was some of the strongest proof that mars had water, read this www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mer/mer-20070521.html
alien nut
A DOGE why
@@animo9050 You remember correctly.
what they should do is send cleaning rovers to mars with the regular ones to clean the dust off of them and maybe clean the other rovers that used the solar panels so they can get sunlight again
Yeah I was also thinking that..
We all owe a Thank you, to every effort our boys out there in the Cosmos made. Thank you, *Opportunity,* for braving 14 years on mars. Thank you, *Venera 14,* for lasting half an hour on the Hellish surface of Venus. Thank you *Cassini,* for your Kamikaze into the depths of Saturn. Thank you, *Voyager 1 and 2,* for taking a one-way ticket into the deepest, darkest depths of the void.
You are my favorite space-linked youtuber. I learn so much from your videos!
„My battery is low and it´s getting dark“ - Oppertunity 2018
She didn't say that. Rovers [to date] don't communicate like that. Sorry.
banana junior 9000 r/woosh
@@divergent_3428 ha!
3:23 lower your speed as low has possible and on the word information try get that flash image for some reason it flashes an image
oh ya
Imagine one day we colonize Mars and finding that thing under the dust
We very well could. NASA knows the location of all the rovers.
If we ever reach Mars, I hope the astronauts revive every Mars Rover.
Well, I mean, Mark Watney reviving Pathfinder felt good.
Whether we'll ever be able to recover Curiosity or not, I love the fact that it's there. As proof that a previous civilization made it there. just to clarify what I mean, imagine the moon landing in 1969, if we landed and discovered a man made machine there and how much it would change our perception of our past..
This is what I think, if we all are gonna die, bcz of some natural disaster, the beat way to share our message to next generation is to store on Moon and on other planet
im hoping that the dusk storms wont end Curiosity's journey in Mars, its so wonderful to learn more about Mars using a rover and if it stops then the incredible learning will stop too...
Yasss and Perseverance did land on Mars today like its name, even with COVID-19 stopping almost everything.
Most of us cried over Oppy...but what if Curiosity and Perserverance 'died'...would we cry for them too?
If I programed Perseverance, I would make it somehow help save Spirit and Oppy...and if Curiosity dies soon...it too.
No new Rovers shouldn’t be saving old Rovers because you don’t get any progress than. By equipping the new ones with modern technology to find out the stuff we nEEd we can get progress in our knowledge of Mars
i found your channel by one of your videos being recommended for me and i love your videos! keep up the great work
This should of been sponsored by curiosity
These were opportunity's last words:"My battery is getting low and it is getting dark here..."
Curiosity will die when we don't have anything to wonder about
Underrated channel. Keep up the great work!
One day when all humans inhabit mars, the citys on mars will be named after these rovers and their graves will be landmarks
Bruh i wanna give curriosty a hug so badly🥺I know its a machine but think about being alone for almost a decade on a whole planet
You really have to give credit to the cameraman tho.
It celebrate it's birthday by itself for 9yrs but this year it's not alone because a automatic lawnmower company is putting a voice in it's lawnmower to sing happy birthday to curiosity on earth a beautiful moment 😭
but i know this is humans come to mars and find curiosity and repair it
❤️❤️❤️
yoo that camera man recording curiosity land is a savage!!!
Could you do a detailed video on the Mars 2020 rover?
Copy/paste + sample return
Rover: lands on Mars
The Martians there: aw damnit the earthlings are back
its social distancing for ker- humans
ight Ill see myself out
Dont worry ill make it social distance. for kerbals!
Nice video! Keep it up my guy.
In the last yrs of his life ..they should send curiosity to go be with opportunity...at least he wont die alone
I think they are too far for that. And also Opportunity is stuck in hard sand and Curiosity has it's wheels worn down... But maybe one day in a 100 years they will get together with a mission to get them back to earth my friend ☺️
It's last message was "my battery is low and it's getting dark"
RIP curiosity
That was Opportunity
That's opportunity
He was more Human to me than some human ever will be. Thank you Curiosity for you amazing work.
"Slows and then fades away" ok, just got me in the feels. Once we start going to Mars and back regularly with people we need to bring these back.
Why bring them back? Just save them there. Less effort and less risk of damage
Who else is watching this when perseverance has landed on mars
Imagine that Curiousity stumbles across the powerless body of Opportunity.
Its gonna call perseverance to help get the dust out
Am I the only one who cries whenever anyone talks about Spirit and Opportunity dying?
No.
I love these videos!
I expected this video to be sponsored by Curiosity Stream 😂
it actually would have been a fitting sponsor
Curiosity and the other Rovers remind me of the little robot Dewey at the end of the film 'Silent Running' , faithfully going about their duties, loyal to the end.
I was in 6th grade when the first rover was launched. We had to do a man egg drop from the school roof and me and another student both were inspired to use grocery sacks as airbags to surround the egg.
I've learnt more in these space videos in the last 30 minutes then i have in my entire decade and a half of school.
I literally couldn’t stop thinking about Mark Rober this whole time
I hope on later mars missions, they bring old mars rovers like oppertunity and curiosity back to earth
Poped up more curiosity in my mind
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was doing a sick drifts lol
Why do humans need to fight against each other and waste tons of money on weapons and shit instead of spending it to discover the universe.
WAR IS GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY
Because human
I agree. People need to stop being so stubborn towards each other and learn to cooperate smoothly. If they continue such conflicts, it could result in our future becoming a catastrophe that could wipe ourselves out in a matter of minutes if not even shorter. We need to cut back on the warfare spending, especially when we *ALREADY ARE* out there in space. We would not want/wish/need/have to risk facing either the extinction of us humans nor witnessing that of the alien races we would come across. We need to learn how to _make peace_ with them in this universe, in order to ensure the survivability and high wealth of both us and them, enough to explore even further.
Curiosity just got a pal yesterday. Go Perseverance!
Anyone here after Perserverence has landed on Mars? 🙂
