      +Gerald P Yeah I was quite surprised. I was kind of thinking "golf card". It was more like a volkswagon or hatchback. I wish I could have gotten into the mechanics of the wheels etc. There's so much to learn about it. I shot some video, but for the sake of not making a 30 minute video I decided to leave it out. Perhaps I'll upload it separately to the second channel.

      unstopableguy1 Technically, as it is, more people still watch live TV and/or Netflix than TH-cam or similar social media sites. Although that is changing, yeah. But just think of the exposure Destin would get? He might also get a higher budget and, potentially, a bigger bang for his buck. Like I said though, I feel like his creativity and childish interest in everything he talks about should be his priority, as that's one of his most appealing qualities.

      Ayep! The pictures make it look small because there isn't anything you can really scale it to.
      Most people think it's maybe the size of a desk, or a coffee table.

      Drilling is incredibly interesting. The mechanical processes and designing for drilling all depends on what you are trying to do.
      Pulverizing the rock is perfect for analyzing the chemistry make up of the rock AND it happens to be the easiest way to but a hole in rock. But if you want to analyze the lithology and the geologic processes or drill a deeper hole, this method is insufficient.

    • @Niosus
      @Niosus 9 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      +Teth47 It's an incredibly ingenious solution. It's a drill-meets-vacuum-cleaner with barely any moving parts that can go without maintenance for a really long time. By using gravity and the shaking of the drill (which is needed for drilling anyway) to move the dust around, you can pretty much guarantee that it cannot break down. If you can drill, you can move the dust around. It's such an elegant solution when you take a closer look.

      He confirmed soggy soil which is water but just moisture. We are currently on the hunt for standing liquid water. We know for sure that the planet mars has H20 in some forms at the surface and we have known that for a while, even in 2008 the Phoenix lander took pictures of snow falling from clouds about 5km above the surface but the snow evaporated before it hit the ground, which is called virga.

      I imagine much debate went into the drill-bit design characteristics...with an emphasis on weight, and tungsten is heavy.
      Is the bit itself (cutting tip only):
      SOLID carbide?
      ...because to me, it looks just like a masonry bit for concrete but at such a weight cost! I'm sure plating atop lighter, yet stiff materials was also an option for a cutting edge...(I sure would have liked to be a fly on the wall during that phase of design discussion)

    If you could clarify for me a little further. How do you get the dust to go up the drill? I understand the process of using gravity to transfer the sample but how do you get the dust to go up into the "chamber"? Thanks!!

    • @rkinnett
      @rkinnett 9 ปีที่แล้ว +395

      +xXTHELEECHXx good question, sorry that wasn't clear. At 7:16 you can see that the bit shaft is "fluted" - see the spiral inclined plane that looks similar to a normal wood cutting bit? Unlike a wood bit, these flutes are not sharp for cutting, rather they're for auguring the powder up through the stem and into the first chamber.

    • @xXTHELEECHXx

    Thank you so much, Destin for being one of the highlights of my TH-cam subscription box. I'd love to move to the U.S. and work for NASA, even though that's probably not gonna happen due to the whole export control issue thing. They've inspired me since I was a child, and I'm now an Aerospace Engineer for it. Your space videos are a constant reminder to me that NASA continues to inspire and do amazing things, despite funding shortfalls and often public indifference

    • @markbell9742

      Well I think both *‘briansmobile1’* and *‘Ryan Z’* got it right in different ways. Lucky events can fall upon one from time to time out of the blue. Though the most rewarding of ‘lucks’ can be those you make for yourself and there is a definition of this kind of luck: “When Preparation Meets Opportunity”. But these self-made ‘lucks’ are different for everyone in degree and path. My path was geology and it took me to many amazing locations and I saw fundamental and awe-inspiring examples of the geologic processes of the Earth. And when I’m in one of my grandiose moods I feel I can grasp the workings of the Earth in toto. However, the reality is that I really don’t know enough to know what I don’t know. And, although I consider myself lucky to be alive and to have done and seen the things I have, I can’t do everything, and so I do envy (think they are lucky) those who have also made their own ‘lucks’ along some different, interesting, fun, path. I have lived through the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo eras and I regret not witnessing, and envy thoughts who did, a Saturn V launch. Finally, I think this is why we watch these types of TH-cam videos; to vicariously experience the different self-made ‘lucks’ of these individuals and to share in their joy. I certainly did when Destin did his over-head-arm monkey dance after his hokey pokey ditty.
      Cheers,
      Mark

    You can see this earthbound rover out in the yard on Google Earth if you look at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The rover is located in the dirt area at the northeastern side of the campus. The rover is a white rectangle just left of a smallish building with a tan roof. That building is the one in the video that the rover is kept in. If you zoom in on the rover you can see the 6 wheels.

      +fakiirification good point. It's very well built and durable rover, even though the wheels are getting torn to bits on Mars. But still, Earths environment is in many ways more damaging to the rover than Mars. In my opinion, the presence of oxygen and water moisture in the atmosphere mean components on the Earth twin rover can oxidize (rust) while on Mars, I'm not sure this is really possible. I guess there are other oxidizing agents, but I'm still surprised how the rover is stored like this. But it does make sense. Either way, I love everything about the rover and Mars.

      Your point is good, but not entirely sufficient. I am mostly convinced that the drill engineer from this video is certain that his model is truly being used on Mars, and I wouldn't blame him for thinking that because NASA is sure to provide evidence to support its claims - even when the evidence could have been made up - and I think that the drill is probably exactly the kind of drill that one would use to most effectively (to our present engineering knowledge) collect samples from Mars' surface (according to whatever evidence, true or not [because yes, obviously some of what NASA claims is indeed true] has to say about the assumed surface of Mars). And when I say "assumed" surface, I'm not implying that I don't think Mars exists. I just know of NASA's tendency to portray discrepancies, and not the kind of discrepencies you get from innocent, random chance.
      Sorry for the ramble, but with the people in control having been in control for so long and so deeply - behind the scenes, of course - it is not too difficult to imagine how such a group could achieve such dupery to an extent that even most of NASA's employees, even the ones relatively "high up," are not aware that their honest work is being mediated by deception.
      I don't think most of these people are lying. They are seeing what they are seeing and that is what they are reporting back, it's just that what they are seeing is what has already been manipulated.

    The two people at NASA is what you get when you study in school. They get a head ache that will go away in a little while. If you don’t study you get a bad back like me that never goes away! Loved the video.

    You aught to get a nice camcorder for on-the-fly video recording. It's a LOT easier to keep it steady, zoom in, and maintain focus. A DSLR is clunky to manage if you don't set it up ahead and of time or you don't have another camera operator.
