Well. They did :), but the landing sequence in slightly different. There was some new fancy terrain navigation system implemented into this one because we were attempting a landing in a more dangerous location. It is also heavier Curiosity so the cruise and entry balance mass ejections we slightly different as well. They may look the same but that terrain nav stuff autonomously changed the flight path during powered flight, also added a few extra steps in the EDL process.
This still brings tears of joy to my eyes. It's sad, though, that half the comments are people proclaiming out of ignorance that what could very well be these people's best moments of their lives are all faked.
The NASA engineers should be honored by the fact that they accomplish things so difficult for many people to comprehend that they can't even believe it.
Don't let anger rule the day, as the preacher says in Blazing Saddles. Then the bible get shot. And he continues: Son, you're on your own. And from there, it's just pure fun with the scepticism.
Brother ... i know... love and respect is main... they the achievement that this family of scientist have done is unmatch... One request " please do not see the haters", they have no mission and vision, i am writing this 5 years later... hope you like and feel happy with your reply. God bless OUR EARTH...!!!
A decade later and it still makes me laugh 😂 I remember watching thinking why aren’t they showing us what they are watching and kept thinking they will show us but nope. We just got to see faces 🤣🤣🤣 too funny
I followed the descent on TV. I believe those were the tensest minutes I have experienced in this decade. I was amazed at my own level of emotion, since I am normally a pretty dispassionate person.
Jung Yunho I don't get why they wait for someone to say touchdown confirmed. Like the computers won't give real time results ? it seems to be reaching for what they call emotional appeals. Its used in advertising.
flim flam you know how far mars is right? It takes radars 14 minutes to recieve the signal from Mars - and it takes 7 minutes for the rover to land in real time. As they get the signal that it entered the atmosphere, it’s already destroyed or landed.
I think this is my favourite video of all time. What an achievement! Their excitement and joy brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. You did it, guys!
Congratulations to all JPL team members, and thank you for the glimpse of your world last evening. Watching those cool characters, under the pressure of watching a lifetime of work being tested, was great positive news for NASA and JPL.
I was following the landing and was really happy and relieved they made it. NASA and JPL can be very proud of themselves having brought Curiosity down to the Mars surface with that fantastic maneuver. What a wonderful achievement! Cheers from Germany.
This is, by far, one of my favorite videos to watch on TH-cam. I'm Mexican and my eyes get wet every time I watch this video. Can't wait for the launch of Perseverance!
Two things: (1) Loved the use of music in this clip. Really helped highlight the emotion and tension. (2) I love the use of "we" when a rover, a machine, landed on Mars. (And no, that's not sarcasm.) There's just something really human about it.
I was watching the live stream, and I actually cried slightly at the moment it touched down! It was so intense, especially considering they could only infer what was going on from the slow trickle of data -- corresponding to events that had already happened, several minutes in the past.
I just found this video, tagged as "11 years ago". Yes, we have the year 2023 now, and Curiosity is still working!!! In the meantime, another, even better NASA rover named Perseverance has landed successfully in 2021, deployed a small helicopter drone named Ingenuity and has been successfully working on Mars for 2 1/2 years, in parallel to still working Curiosity. The drone Ingenuity has already performed more than 50 successful flights on Mars, defying gravity by its fast-spinning rotor blades.
I remember watching this live at like midnight or something where I live. I had a bowl of popcorn, a soda, and was watching it on my computer. I still think this is amazing!
Seeing grown men cry tears of joy over this monumental achievement of human engineering really pull at my heartstrings. Good job folks, you all deserved it.
Canada, Russia, Brazil, Japan, and numerous European countries contributed to Curiosity. Canada in particular built the on-board Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer. The US may have assembled and launched it, but it is definitely an international achievement.
Added to my playlist. Whenever I need to be reminded of what my species can accomplish when we try hard enough, I know one of the places I can look. The well-earned joy on those faces... !!!
they barely have enough money to get camera picture feed from the rover, which costs them billions, where and why would they get the extra cameras to capture the landing when it'd just be a bunch of pictures
Surely everyone in this room is an atheist right? You can't be both "stupid" and also work at NASA, which is doing and making state of the art discoveries at the same time right?
Reading the greetings from all over the world that were put in The Golden Record and launched into space has always made me choke up a little. I can't really explain it, but some scientific undertakings are just really... beautiful.
That this worked as they planned is in itself one of the great technical achievements of this century,shame most people don't seem to care. I watched this as it was happening, the first pictures were incredible,it all worked, it was amazing.
Believe me, we "old people" find these just as fascinating every time. If we happen to be inclined so, that is. I was yet to be born during Apollo 11, but I remember listening to radio broadcasts and watching what little was on telly with my big brother during the last Apollos, when I was merely 2 (almost 3). And everything since then. I don't think better and faster information sharing has taken any of the "magic" away.
That has got to be the single most awesome feeling there is. So much work and effort paying off. Thank god for NASA for being the earth's frontier of space travel and exploration.
Perhaps a little too fast paced. I would like to see this in real time, it was only an amazing seven minutes. But this does bring back the feeling I had as I watched it land on NASA TV. A definite thumbs up over all.
14 minute transmission delay from Mars to Earth. EDL took 7 minutes. At the time JPL received word of entry interface, 14 minutes had passed from that even happening. Hence the reason that at 0:12 [our receiving transmission of entry interface], Curiosity had already been on the surface, taking Hazcam pictures. Just an FYI: JPL's raised the Mast & we have Navcam pics. I think full Mastcam pics are due on Sol 4.
There is such a website. Curiosity cam at the Ustream. They have a live transmission every evening (my local time), but are taking the weekend off. Been watching it every evening, chatting with JPL PR dudes/dudesses and asking questions. It has recordings of the past live transmissions, too. Hope this helps.
There is a photo taken by one of the Mars orbiters that shows curiosity with its parachute deployed during descent. There is also video, for the first time ever, taken from the bottom of curiosity during descent that shows the heat sheild separation all the way to landing. However, without the CGI animation, people who are not familiar with the details of the EDL procedure would not understand what is going on, or what the EDL team is cheering about.
It's amazing. What is really curiosity is how humans are able to achieve such a sophisticated Lab on wheel ( Curiosity itself ). Also the effort and time, patient, and trial and error that was put in. Keep it up NASA.
The geeks who designed this nutty procedure must have gotten a lot of grief . . . it's gonna do WHAT? Skycables, seriously? Most of us will go our entire lives and never feel the sense of triumph these people felt, nor will we ever have an accomplishment like this. Well done. Just wow.
The Americans showed again that make things happen. Whether we like or not your government - the fact is that few, indeed very few countries have the power to approach this level of excellence aerospace. Here in Brazil, this event was attended by many, although we still have several oceans away in training, will one day be as good as them. Congratulations you guys are awesome!
Great work on Curiosity! Just for those who do not know, this is not the first time we landed on Mars. We have for a couple years now. Before Curiosity, it was Opportunity :)
It's called storytelling. What they actually saw was precious little -- all they got was telemetry. But it doesn't matter. When you've worked that hard for that long, you're entitled to be excited about it. This is the most brilliant thing America has done in a long, long time.
Maija Vilkkumaa is one of my favourite Finnish female pop singers. Makes "angry girl" lyrics. She is more on the rock side, though. PMMP is a fairly good pop band with tongue in cheek and genuine talent instead of bubblegum. Their first hit from years ago is Rusketusraidat (tan stripes).
Great video with some ace CGI, NASA should be so proud of this project. But, reading some of the comments; it is quite incredible that the human race ever manage to invent the wheel, let alone get into space.
Those guys are amazing, I couldn't begin to understand what goes into something like that, but I look forward to the results from Curiosity. Does anyone know when we can expect some images etc?
Can you recommend any Finnish music (sung in Finnish) that is not metal? Maybe jazz or pop? I do love Nordic bands. Two of my favorites are Kaizers Orchestra and Klondyke.
Mars has atmosphere, not as much as Earth. A parachute works in Mars atmosphere, not as well as in Earth we can agree on that, but it will still work. This why they needed to create the other stages as because the parachute wasn't enough. I don't get what you are saying about speed and distance, but the radar kept a constant lock on the distance from Curiosity to the ground. This allowed all the different stages to be used when it was needed.
I watched this with my grandfather :”). Now that he’s gone it’s one of my most fond memories. I will make sure my children and grandchildren witness history with their papa
Yes. On the Nasa website, they show a photograph taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter of where the various bits of debris crashed onto the Martian surface.
Yes, I am quite aware that the Finnish is completely different from other "Nordic" tongues (notice I never said Scandinavian!) Would you say it has closer ties to Russian or is it it's own language entirely? Actually, upon listening to Maija Vilkkumaa I found many jazz elements. So maybe you like jazz more than you think. ciao!
Props to the cameraman who flew to Mars to record the landing.
Yeah this video is lame lol
@@TEXAS-RED1939no, it is a huge step in humanity
So the landing sequence is exactly the same for Perseverance. Makes me feel bit relieved. NASA will pull it off successfully again.
Well. They did :), but the landing sequence in slightly different. There was some new fancy terrain navigation system implemented into this one because we were attempting a landing in a more dangerous location. It is also heavier Curiosity so the cruise and entry balance mass ejections we slightly different as well.

@@Is9sa Its because they arent seeing anything, they are just looking at a bunch of parameters and data
@@sparkelstr2418 do you believe the moon landing was real?
For sure. This was so great!
@@Is9sa biggest BS ever, and still people believe it, cuz they don't have a clue about physics 😃😃😃

Physics students when the class average goes from 46 to 47:

I'm proud to be human when I see this. The media should focus on the good sides of the humanity rather than on the wrong side.
I think this is my favourite video of all time. What an achievement! Their excitement and joy brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. You did it, guys!
I'm so excited for the Perseverance's landing that I had to re-watched this many times
@Semper Fidelis Yeah! I watched the live show :))
Congratulations to all JPL team members, and thank you for the glimpse of your world last evening. Watching those cool characters, under the pressure of watching a lifetime of work being tested, was great positive news for NASA and JPL.
Respect to everyone in the project but i really would love to see the engineers reaction too :)
Emforever123 there is a video of mark rober's reaction. (He worked on it)
Every once in awhile humans give me hope, this is one of those moments.
You are absolutely correct.
This is bringing hope to mankind in a world torn apart by hate, war...!
thank you NASA and everyone involved in this!
I was following the landing and was really happy and relieved they made it. NASA and JPL can be very proud of themselves having brought Curiosity down to the Mars surface with that fantastic maneuver. What a wonderful achievement!

Eight years on this is still such an emotional moment. Happy cry all the way!!
This gives me chills. I wish we as a nation could achieve more space related things such as this
This is, by far, one of my favorite videos to watch on TH-cam. I'm Mexican and my eyes get wet every time I watch this video. Can't wait for the launch of Perseverance!
This video makes me happy
This is a rare moment where I believe in humans.
Same.
This rover has been exploring mars for 8 years.
This is a great achievement in the history of mankind
"Touchdown confirmed! We're safe on Mars!" 8''') Awww. Awesome moment.

Wait so if comms take 10 minutes single trip, does this mean that when they hear that curiosity has entered the atmosphere, it already landed?
Yeah

Whose here after perseverance landing
Md
Happy anniversary guys!! Still can't watch this without getting tears
Another great step forward for humanity.
The unlimited potential of mankind's abilities has literally brought a tear to my eye. This is pure amazement on every possible scale.
Great video!! Awesome job to all involved, some incredible engineering.
Seeing grown men cry tears of joy over this monumental achievement of human engineering really pull at my heartstrings. Good job folks, you all deserved it.
"They searching Intelligent life forms in the outer space, It is because they cant find any intelligent here on Earth"
Yeah! i nailed It! XD

The US may have assembled and launched it, but it is definitely an international achievement.
happy birthday Curiosity
i like this, tis is very intresting
i want to work in this job
why would you dislike this?
this is one of the greatest achievements that humans ever made
NERDS!!!
I wish I was there with them. :(
Added to my playlist. Whenever I need to be reminded of what my species can accomplish when we try hard enough, I know one of the places I can look. The well-earned joy on those faces... !!!
Awesome
I agree.
1:34 applaud for the great scientist 👏👏❤
"That's exactly what some said in Asia 15 thousand years ago."
After watching this for the 5th time, I still feel nervous when it's in the middle in the sequence and happy when it lands.
guys why don't they have real video footages of the landing?
they barely have enough money to get camera picture feed from the rover, which costs them billions, where and why would they get the extra cameras to capture the landing when it'd just be a bunch of pictures
Check out the MARDI, which stands for the Mars Descent Imager. Search it up on TH-cam. It's awesome :)
And... How would they actually get that footage of the robot landing? Please explain in detail. (LOL in advance)
Susan DA camera?
are you looking for video similar to the simulation?
roddenberry would be so proud!! keep it up.
Surely everyone in this room is an atheist right? You can't be both "stupid" and also work at NASA, which is doing and making state of the art discoveries at the same time right?

Bigot detection confirmed.
Buzz Aldrin took communion while on the moon but okay.
Reading the greetings from all over the world that were put in The Golden Record and launched into space has always made me choke up a little. I can't really explain it, but some scientific undertakings are just really... beautiful.
Who is the first person landed on Mars?
Cameraman
Having worked NASA programs for many years, I can tell you that the tears of joy actually mean, "We get to keep our Jobs!!!"
11 years later and I still cry.

audio files are smaller than big ass images..why no ambient sound? that's a very good question.
I get tears of joy when watching stuff like this.
12 years have gone by?
Seems like yesterday.
When were the first photos received down to earth to confirm an actual landing?
There is a photo taken by one of the Mars orbiters that shows curiosity with its parachute deployed during descent.
There is also video, for the first time ever, taken from the bottom of curiosity during descent that shows the heat sheild separation all the way to landing.

If you ever need to "Fake" cry, you can just see the landing and reactions from the control room, works for me every time.
huge respect to the camera man capturing the footage of it landing on mars
So sad that this doesn't have 10m views. I want to live in a universe where THAT happens.
Question: How long does it take the communication signal to travel between Mars and control center ?
2008koss 14 minutes, if you’re still wondering 7 years later
JPL JPL JPL! good work guys you rock Curiosity Rover is on MARS.
I'd feel proud to be part of the culture that made this possible. Study hard, and maybe you can be in the room for the next big event.

I don't but there is videos on Curiosity when it was on the lab being tested. Search them online if you'd like to see.
Hoping to see just as happy a stream today for Perseverance!
ya
Yes. On the Nasa website, they show a photograph taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter of where the various bits of debris crashed onto the Martian surface.
