I wonder if Perseverance will ever find Curiosity, I think it would be kinda cool, sad, and nostalgic to see Curiosity again
Curiosity is still functional I think you mean opportunity rover or maybe spirit but they are all really far spread out to ever find each other and that's not the mission either, only curiosity is somewhat close to the insight Lander but that's a big somewhat which isn't feasible as a distance to be covered to be worthwhile.
All the rovers are on different parts of the planet. It would be a 6+ hour drive here on earth on the highway, years away for a rover that can’t even go a kilometer an hour.
Thanks for the info guys
In who knows how many years to come, we'll build transparent structures around them in situ, as museum shrines, so our descendants on Mars can admire a piece of their history.
@@TheAshwinShukla yeah, I mixed the rovers up, thank you for clarifying
you can only get aware of how big perseverance is when you see the scientist working alongside it, that thing is not a toy like others.
good on you for calling Curiosity a toy, when Perseverance is technically Curiosity 2.0. and there'll be another one after it, probably a Perseverance 2.0
@@legend_aries really ? You didn't get the sarcasm ? Let's put it a little bit easier and get you a hint...curiosity and perseverance aren't the only rovers operating in mars, are they ?
@@legend_aries Opportunity and Sojourner were the size of big teddy bears
@@heh2393 I thought as big as a box of cereal?
@@RepublicansAreDeplorable "Spirit and Opportunity are twin rovers, each a six-wheeled, solar-powered robot standing 1.5 meters (4.9 ft) high, 2.3 meters (7.5 ft) wide, and 1.6 meters (5.2 ft) long and weighing 180 kilograms (400 lb)." That's one of those huge decorational teddy bears.
True, Sojourner is tiny at 63cm×48cm.
Perseverance is the second rover to use the crane system. Curiosity was first. I designed the Pyro-Fire circuit boards used by the Curiosity Space Craft to control explosive bolts during entry into the Martian Atmosphere.
Wow really?
you did what, now ?
Would you mind creating a video on that on your YT channel?
@Smee Self
Explosive bolts were also used to hold the Space Shuttle S.R.B. ( solid rocket boosters) to the launch platform and fired when the boosters ignited
Well, technically it was the nut that exploded...so yes, every time they launched a shuttle, they busted a nut
You got curiosity... How did you persevere?
Looking forward to watching your series on "what Perseverance discovered on Mars" in the next 5-10 years
By then Mars will have access to space ships. Mars in vr
Yes!!
Wait until they wake her up she's gonna be real pissed 😄
10 years from now we’ll probably have done the first human orbit of Mars, or be in the late stages of such a program. We basically have the technology for such a mission, at this point it’s just infrastructure and making sure that such a mission is as safe as possible. I could see us launching two Mars missions at the same time, one unmanned, so there’s always a backup module & equipment available.
is it truly you, spaceman spiff?
I know NASA is getting better and better at it but, come on! They missed their launch window by 10 whole milliseconds! It's like they let me launch the rover or something... :) But seriously, I have a special place in my heart for this mission. I work for one of the organizations that made instruments for Perseverance and my name is actually inscribed on one of the panels on the rover. I've followed this closely through the entire mission and appreciate your attention to the details. Thank you.
The term "sky crane" used to be a joke you played on rookies on a construction site. "Hey Joe, go get the sky crane" . Nice to see that the term has now become a reality!
I like those. If you ever work in a pizza place, you may be asked to go grab the dough patch/repair kit. Normally stated to be somewhere deep in the walk-in freezer.
@@Vanished_Mostly Sort of like the military where they send you to find chemlight batteries.
@@aarosundvall -- Machining has the aluminium magnet!
I'm a structural engineer in the UK. When I have a project where the architect has decided having structure to hold his building up would be 'inconvenient' or a nuisance and therefore plans for it not to exist, I will refer to 'skyhooks' - normally used as a bit of a put-down to unrealistic architect expectations!
My father was member of team which constructed watch towers at border, big helicopter lift parts up and team bolted them together. Windy and cold at winter, was his opinion. Mil-8 helicopter was sky crane at 80s.
This is such a good example of what humankind is capable of these days - and it can only get better!

Imagine how much could be achieved is all of the planetary expenditure and effort was redirected from nuclear weapons and put instead into this stuff . . . 🤔
Until we kill ourselves.
@@frankblack7801 if it weren’t for nuclear weapons, you’d have millions upon millions of additional casualties post WW2, and you’d probably be in a trench today, against your will, fighting for your life. Nuclear weapons are one of the greatest things that’ve ever happened to mankind
@@Fryfat
Until they eventually inevitably get used.
Then they are the worst.
So ultimately a waste of time, effort and money.
I doubt I would be in a trench fighting for my life because we would already have base's on the Moon & Mars by now and mankind would be realising its true potential. To explore and discover. What haven't we learned because of nuclear weapons? . . . 🤔
I dread to think.
But they keep us in the dark ages and will eventually send us back to our pre stone age history. If we survive at all.
Humans would probably be 200 yrs further along by now, or more, if it weren't for nuclear weapons and global background radiation levels wouldnt be 200 × higher than pre 1945 levels. There wouldn't be uninhabitable zones where tests have taken place and God knows how many lives lost to cancer each year because of the testing.
covid19: eh, not so sure about that...
We may not be in a time where we can explore space ourselves but man this is so cool to be here watching!!!
You never know... At one time the internet was something out of this world, no pun intended, and we never really expected it, and one day we just had it. Same for GPS, penicillin, radar, radio. That's why they're called 'breakthroughs'.
@@legend_aries 🇮🇪👍
I miss the moon landings. I was 8-10 yrs old at the time.. man, that was a long time ago!
@@mrbojangles7577 I watched with my 69 year old grandma. She grew up in the sticks of Nova Scotia. The first car was a big deal. Ditto electric lights and telephones. She passed in 1999. Talk about watching the world change!
@@76rjackson I'm in the UK and watched the moon landings on a black and white TV. Colour TV didn't take off here til about '73 and we didn't have our first one til '75
It is so impressive how well these missions have been going lately. Pluto, Saturn, Titan, Jupiter, and Mars again and again. These missions are achieving their goals and then some. Using the lessons of previous missions, we are collecting more and more data than ever before. Voyager probes only did basic fly-by’s and had limited instrumentation. I hope before I die, in the next few decades anyways, that we have satellites in orbit around all the planets along with any interesting moons. Always gathering data.
It’s incredible how humanity is able to carry out such complex missions. Insane.
At the same time I’m still frustrated that we aren’t able to solve the ability of crossing large distances as normal means of propulsion won’t cut it.
To actually get a sample back from another planet is just mind blowing to see something even if it’s just rock or dust from somewhere human kind has never been before is really exciting and I can’t wait for the coming future to see what is found and is to be seen
Well, the Apollo missions brought back over 800 pounds (360 kilos or so), of rocks from different sites on the moon, over 50 years ago.
@@mauricegold9377 yes they did I've seen some of the videos of the rocks brought back very interesting.. I can't wait for the sample that will come back from Mars and what ever else they find and manage to bring back in the future, sadly I think I will be long gone when we actually are able to step foot on another planet or find some sort of life form!
@@mauricegold9377 yeah but the moon was once part of the Earth, so not at all the same...
@@YZFoFittie Yes but actually going there was required to confirm if that idea was true. We couldn't know without going there, and now we do. And that is why you can write what you do with confidence. We stand on the shoulders of giants. I never forget that.
@@mauricegold9377 my point was, Mars is truly, "another planet"...
For once a channel trying to earn my subscription rather than telling me to
i imagine astrum smiling as he narrates everything because his voice sounds like it
@@jrhermosura4600
👤 🕶
Like a sensible Brian Cox.
@@jrhermosura4600 He really does.
yes, this. i'm already subbed so a 'like' was given as he totally earned it.
If you like this, go check out journey to the micro cosmos
They made kerbal space program in real life? Amazing breathtaking even.
Yeah, this Duna copy is pretty cool.
Normally it's my policy to ignore every thing advertised ever, but I'm tempted to join that streaming service if there's that many documentaries, compared to the few good ones in a year on cable.
I use TH-cam premium, which is about 9 dollars per month. No ads on any videos. Creators get paid by what you watch
@@stevencoardvenice wait, that’s illegal
I always seem to find cooler images on this channel than on NASA's actual website. You're a great curator! I never would have found those videos of the landing sequence, really amazing stuff.
With the music in the background during the intro, I feel like I'm living in breath of the wild while getting interesting science information. I'm gonna sub, don't know why I hadn't yet.
Can you talk about the China and ESA missions sometime please. Great Video!
Honestly though, we should keep China from dominating space. They have the aim to control everything, we don't need that.
@@jr2904 please get your ideology out of the advancement of the human race.
@@paul81491 what exactly is wrong with the ideology of keeping space from one-sided domination? Read it any other way and the "ideology" is equally laudable. Unless what you mean is that you agree China ought to dominate space?
@@76rjackson nothing wrong with china leading in space as long as it doesn't hamper other space programs. The US currently dominates in space by your logic we should stop the US as well then.
@@76rjackson Yeah I'm sure super powers like the U.S also have absolutely no aims to control and dominate space lol.
I had an idea the pattern on the parachute meant something - very clever and cool indeed!
Nasa's work is fascinating. I hope Nasa people will always stay well, and joyful to continue this wonderful journey.
Oh I am falling in love with a robot...again, lol. These robots are the embodiment of humanity's best quality & hope. So exciting to imagine the discoveries they are going to make.
Thank you Alex. Wonderful work, as always.
Still aching over Oppy... RIP little rover.
You are a science teacher's best friend 🤗
This channel always puts a smile on my face :)
Same :)
Your content is out of this world! Honestly, thank you for the free education.
You've earned likes and subscription years ago mate! Keep up the great work.
Hey Arch, say hello to Tuco and Blondie for me. LoL
I always get excited about the updates and new missions relating to Mars. Seems like we are making good progress. I wish I could high five every scientist working on this.
I can’t believe you forgot to mention Ingenuity! That little helicopter is so cool and deserves more attention
The perseverance mission is a technical miracle. It blows me away that we can send such a complex machine millions of kilometers across the galaxy and work perfectly. Big shout to Astrum for your amazing uploads....i have watched all of them...peace to ya.
All without 5G there! Go figure? LoL 😆🤣😂
Ears immediately perked and recognized the opening music.
Soundtrack has always been on point, keep it up!
1:18 Are you going to make a video on China's rover „Zhurong“ as well? :) It landed recently as the first non-US marsrover.
If I can, I will!
China doesn't publish nearly as much material as NASA.
@@dnomyarnostaw That is the issue. There might still be enough though, I'll see if it's feasible or not.
Well, working Mars rover, the soviet Mars program landed one Prop-M rover but it never moved due to communication failure on the main lander.
Did China really go to Mars.
Thanks for doing this Alex. You are the best communicator, with the best content, on the internet. Your excellent work is very much appreciated!
Always on point, always on time, and always brilliant! Thank you so much for this, for everything before and for everything to come!
Hey astrum I've been looking forward to your Perseverance coverage for months. Keep it up
This is an awesome channel-- and Alex you are the PERFECT narrator- I can sense your excitement and wonder when you talk about this stuff and it has the effect of increasing my own interest in it...Thank you Alex!
Your content really makes it all seem so magical! You've really nourished a curiosity for space and the way we are advancing our understanding of it all. Thank you! And please keep it up!
I have been into astronomy since I was a small child and grew up with a telescope my grandfather gave to me. This channel is so well done and It makes me feel that same wonder I felt as a child, thank you.
Love how far you've come. Your vids are some of the best for educating the masses on our beautiful solar system ❤️👊🇦🇺
Alex, you earned my like and subscription years ago now! I was so looking forward to this new series, and the episode was amazing!!! I can't wait for you to get to Ingenuity! \o/
Thanks for your hard work as always!
Amazing, simply amazing! Liked and a long time subscriber! Another stunning video Alex
Love the videos! So well done and explained Alex. From Canada, Thank you and your team for the great work.
Keep getting better and better, quality and video effects are wonderful and above all the enthusiasm.Well done.
this is gonna give us such an amazing insight into one of our neighbouring planets. can't wait to hear what perseverance found in a few years
Please make a video explaining how Perseverance and Ingenuity will communicate with Earth. The more detailed, the merrier.
Yes! ... I am particularly interested in what technical advancements were made that allowed us to see real clear HD footage... not soo much the camera but relaying all that video data back to earth. In previous craft, we never really had a video like this probably because the digital payload would be huge and would require a significant amount of power to transmit it all back to earth... given it takes around 5 minutes for a radio signal from mars to earth.
@@dalar2 At least five minutes. When Mars is farthest away it’s almost twenty minutes.
Yes, please!!
People commenting before they could even watch the whole video 😂😂
People not understanding that burst.api is not instantaneous and gives you an always-late view on views and comments... that’s why the exact time a video is available is never shown, just approximations.
People not understanding that people not understanding doesn't understand people not understanding.
@@jhwheuer nah fam it said posted 45 seconds ago on the vid and every comment was posted 25 seconds ago but nice try 😂😂
Amazing that the coordination is so well planned. Perfect
Love the channel man, really relaxing and informative! Don’t feel pressured to change the titles, I liked the one you had originally. The views will come 🙏🏽
Thank you! Sadly on YT content only counts towards retention, but titles and thumbnails are the things that get people to click in the first place. Sometimes I don't get them right at first so I'll change it.
@@astrumspace completely understandable. Keep up the great content! Highlight of my TH-cam viewing Forsure
Its sad you have to do such a thing to even be noticed these days.
Damn youtube with their capitalistic ideals
You have earned my respect, a like and a new subscriber great episodes!
I love how perseverance is kinda like Eva from Wall-E, just a robot looking for life and a deserted planet
This content is amazing and your voice is so calm and soothing! I am watching this over breakfast and totally lost track of time. Thanks for sharing it with us 😊
love your stuff, make me love space more and more
Had been waiting for your videos 😀
Yess an opportunity rover like series about this awesome mission is just what we need!!
As a child of the 60s, I watched the moonwalk in my headmasters house, with the whole school on his black and white TV, (it was a very small country school in South Australia). That one event taught me that almost ANYTHING is possible, great minds can achieve great things. Perseverance is another small step for mankind.
Another great video. Love it!
This level of accomplishment and more specifically the engineering is on par with the building of the Panama Canal, The Hoover Damn and the moon landings. It is amazing that something so complicated looking is in fact the simple(est) solution. We've come a long way since those early Viking missions that I was also excited by.
I've been waiting (quite impatiently) for these videos to start dropping but having watched this first one I now realise this is the first video of many that'll cover years of discoveries. beyond excited xD
hi alex...great work..
Ironically, if Musk has his way, we'll be analyzing samples on Mars long before 2028...
You always earn a thumbs up from me... 👍
Thank you for such intriguing compiled information. Real a treasure.
I greatly appreciate your content, thank you. I look forward to this series!
9:35 ESA will participate in that mission, too.
You know what,?
Yo are amazing
That was instantly immersive. Great upload. :)
Another piece of excellent scientific journalism, thanks Alex!
yes, yeeeeees so amazing
New Astrum video - highlight of my day! And it's going to be a series, that's awesome. Let me guess, the next episode is going to be about Ingenuity... right? Right?
Anyways, fantastic work as always! Love your channel, looking forward to the next video already :)
Not just an amazing mission but and equally amazing video depicting it. Well done!
Interesting as always Alex. Thank you for sharing.
nice video mate :)
Can you provide an answer to the following question please?
How come Perseverance has narrower wheels than it's predecessor? It weighs 1025kg, that's 126 kgs more than Curiousity, yet JPL decided to make the wheels thinner. Can you explain why? Wouldn't more weight require wider wheels to help stop the rover from getting stuck in the fine sand, dust and ragolith on Mars?
I saw a video where they said the wheels were redesigned to make them more durable but no word or explanation on why they've made them more thinner.
I think that it’s because of the new wheel design that (should) make them more durable to the rocky terrain.
@@fearguscasbolt2157 I know they're more durable, but that doesn't explain why they have to be narrower. JPL describes them as being thicker as to add durability. But if you're adding 126kgs and reducing the contact patch, you're making it more likely the wheels will dig into loose sand and dust.
Good question. Logically you'd think that more weight would dictate wider wheels.
@@jaybuck5818 A larger diameter wheel with a narrower footprint is exactly the opposite of what's required to minimize beaching.
@@jaybuck5818 You know what would be gooder? An answer.
beautiful 60 fps footage n info!! thank you!!
Discovering and exploring other planets, what a great channel I’ve discovered!
Alex has the perseverance to continue uploading videos about space to peak our curiosity
pique NOT peak
@@bazsnell3178 it's not peek?
Thank you Alex. Once again interesting and informative. Don't worry about taking so much time over the landing, I just wish I could be there to see it. I was blown away the first time I saw a video of Skycrane in action, a marvellous piece of kit.
Edit : I have to wonder why, if conducting a search for evidence of previous/existing life, either of the poles hasn't been chosen for exploration. Wouldn't they be the logical place to look, or have the aliens warned us puny earthlings off? 😉
I think it's probably because it's really cold, but NASA have sent the Phoenix lander to the north pole before.
Frickin' mindblowing. Great video!
Thank you!! I love perseverance!
These are some incredible images Perseverance has captured, can’t wait for more!
Don’t wanna be the weird guy but your videos make me feel things
Seriously though, the perseverance rover deserves more attention. I mean it's the best achievement in space exploration since the moon landing yet many people don't even know about it.
Brilliant! I doubt if I am watching this content for free. Waiting for the next episode.
Subbed and liked. You are doing excellent work with your channel man. I love it. Great place to nerd-out.....thank you.
This is the first video of yours I have ever watched, but it CERTAINLY won't be the last. It felt like i was watching a Nat Geo documentary! You have earned a sub!
Your videos are so well done and informative!
Great video. I love watching these videos and the rover is so sophisticated. Hats off to the NASA engineers and scientists.
You definetly earned my subscription, brilliant video.
Astrum i love your content. You give a lot of people the chance to dream, never change. I love you i really do
I've been waiting for this one.
What is possible today gives me such hope for our future and our grandkids futures.
Thank you. Excellent work.
The greatest channel on TH-cam. Hands. Down.
Really enjoyed your video…perfectly accompanied with the sound of Stellardrone, liked and subscribed!👍🏼🇬🇧👌🏻
I love the way you make your videos man and you fuel my love for space
Thank you so much for your videos. They make so much great information very clear and easy to understand
Was Waiting for this video on your channel
Best information on Perseverance yet!
Mind blowing technology… Thank you for the video! :-)
I love that kind of content since I was a little kid
this is absolutely amazing
Thanks. Great video :)
Between this and James Webb Telescope there’s so much exciting stuff happening in astronomy!
Great information & editing! 🖖🏼
