Astrum, please make video on the results of the planetary science decadal survey, that will be so exciting😎😎
Do Watch "American Moon" documentary by Massimo Mazzucco.
Your world view will change forever.
Thank you
@@sohaibkazi5909 We should all be suspicious about the claims of Mars Rovers... First of all, why there are clouds in Mars, where atmosphere is so thin, and there is no measurable water vapor in its air? Why sometimes Mars sky is blue? Why the videos are ALL SCREWED with frame rates?
In addition, there are photos of fossilized animals and plants from rover pictures, and even a seemingly live rodent. If I can bet my money, I will bet that Mars Rovers are also hoaxes. They are probably shooting pictures and videos somewhere in Arizona or Arctic Island.
Did I just see a Vorlon ship?
I heard that Perseverance has found evidence indicating that until very recently there had been catlike animals living on Mars, but Curiosity had killed them.
It took me 23 seconds to get the joke. I legit thought you had a fact that everyone just scrolled over. Made my day thank u
Yikes.
I'll get your coat. You'll need it, it's cold out there.
Get out.
Brilliant!
We made the drill bits for the coring drill at my work (not me directly however). It’s cool to think that I saw some objects that are now on another planet.
Like the feather they brought to the moon to drop with a hammer. Imagine a bird feather on the moon.
how cool! i worked for a pharmaceutical company and i LOVED IT. i liked that i was part of saving people’s lives. we focused on cancer, heart, BP & even Schizophrenia! i worked at the production plant in the Quality Release department at first. i took it very seriously as i was the last look before these batches of meds left our warehouse & eventually to a patient who’s life literally depended on it being perfect. i can guarantee you A LOT of work goes into getting meds to market; most fail after spending millions. anyway i meant to relate to rewarding jobs 😂
@@resQfurppl so quite irrelevant really
Yep that is pretty cool! 😎
That is awesome.
Although this location was less than a mile away from Perseverance's landing site, Perseverance wouldn't arrive for 60 days. Yeah I think I got behind the same guy while driving the other day. :D
Once again, marvelous journey of discovery! I can't help but remember back as late as the 50's how primitive our images and knowledge was about Mars. To see these actual close-ups of Mars' rocks and regolith, makes me feel a real connection to this world. Look forward to every video.
Looking though a vr headset was quite a treat for me. Like being on mars, but with low vision:) I need a better headset:)
I guess you have seen alotta change...what do u think. Bout James webb tel
It's crazy how far we have come, I was hoping we would be further along by now but that's to Elon for making the first reusable rocket.
I feel as though we will see a huge leap in space developments. Makes me excited especially after hearing we wouldn't be making anymore efforts to travel to the moon.

@@jordancleveley5600 further along than cartoon rockets? Yeah, I'd say we all feel the same when the answer to his problem with them exploding on the way back to the return pad is staring him right in the face and not one of his colleagues has pointed it out to him yet.
The Crumbly sample. This is something to be remembered when dealing with lower gravity worlds. Rock formations can be far less compact and solid that even the weakest natural rock formations on Earth.
"... lower gravity worlds..."
Reading this line gave me a moment of realisation, realising we're so far, but so close to something supernatural.
Wow, watch where you step!
Just the phrase "These Rocks Did Something," forced my curiosity. I didn't realize rocks could *do* things. I suppose crumbling into dust is doing something though, so fair enough!
'I didn't realize rocks could do things' is now one of my favorite out-of-context phrases
Even simply finding alien “bacteria” on a different planet in the solar system would be amazing. I really want to believe it’s possible.
Highly unlikely. If bacteria appears on Mars it will have come from our own spacecraft. The chance of life anywhere else in the universe is thousands of trillions against if you do the maths. Logic tells you that for life to “evolve” it has to procreate and mutate but to procreate it must first have mutated through procreation which cannot happen if it didn’t mutate through procreation in the first place. The only logical answer is that life was created with the ability to reproduce there is no other way for it to happen. If in any doubt ask yourself what came first, the mouth or the anus ? And how did any creature exist in between before it “evolved” a digestive system. The same logic applies for plants, algae bacteria etc and every living thing.
Yes! Same here....😁
It actually is, one a couple different moons arounf Jupiter and saturn
Yea, most likely they did.Although, The public wouldn't be informed or even concidered of that type of finding.
Great video! This is one of the best videos I have seen about Perseverance.
Love this series! Well done as always.
I love this stuff so much, I'm definitely gonna be keeping up with a lot of the perseverance rover news as it continues
I in awe at the progress science has made these past few decades. it was 75 years ago, humans begin operating on our hearts! Now we’re on another plant picking up rocks! Wonder what we’ll be doing in another 25 years…assuming we’re still surviving! I just hope my young grandkids get a chance to live a long healthy life!!!
Beautiful storytelling. Awesome video as always. Thank you 👍
Hey @Astrum thanks for the correct pronunciation and reference to the Slavic origin of the Jezero crater's name.
Favorite channel. Keep it up!
thanks for doing these videos, very clear and instructive. thumbs up
Amazing video, great information and just enough to wet your appetite to get your mind thinking about the possibilities Mars has to offer
As much as I admire their confidence, I'm not totally convinced of a future mission's ability to find and then retrieve sample containers that have likely been covered by dust storms. Even Viking had a basic lab onboard.
We can actually still see Opportunity from space which has been dead for yyyyears
Opportunity lasted on Mars for 15 years all with just some solar panels, some estimate that Perseverance could still be kicking in the 40s, and even after it does there will be decades (or centuries) to retrieve the samples before they were completely lost to dust.
GPS trackers?
The Martian surface has undergone only minor changes in the past billion years. Besides, NASA engineers would have already planned for such potential scenarios years ago.
@@Kelmire1 GPS (Global Positioning System) works with 31 satellites that are on a geostationary orbit. Any device that makes use of this positioning system has to be receiving a signal from three or so satellites at any given time and do a bunch of calculations before it can tell you your location. Obviously there is no such a system of satellites around any of the other planets or the Moon.
@@_tanitani_ they still have a way of finding those objects if they ever go there.
NASA would have thought this through long ago.
Rover: Drills into the rock.
Rock: "I have decided that I want to die. "
Great Video & I especially like the theories also the pros & cons of discoveries, brilliant 👍
Your intelligence comes through in your videos. Very clear & sensible.
I hope the next rover mission they send to mars after Perseverance actually has the capability to live stream it's adventures across the rocky planet, I'd be able to spend literal days watching a rover wander around Mars.
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
Thanks for the information! Likewise! @Astrum
Thank you for your videos
Dave
Excellently done video. 👍
See you again soon. 🔥😎
Hope there was or is life on Mars.Thank you. 🙏🎉
When he said the ultra violet soectrometer was called Sherloc, I can't have been the only one hoping the other spectrometer was called Watson?
Outstanding.
Thanks....
Shared.
that segment from the rovers camera while it was moving may be the coolest thing I have ever seen
I really love these series
How do you have a 3 day old comment on a 20 minute old video?
@@slowfudgeballs9517 On one of the videos from these series, a card appeared recommending me a playlist of the series and in that playlist there was this video, still unlisted
I'm just waiting for one of the rovers to find precious metals so we can magically find all the space exploration funding needed to ship people there to mine it for the rich
This is exciting. I'm glad the narrator was honest about the findings.
I like the way you put the ad at the end, it's sorta like having an after eight after a meal
Great video! I have been studying the surface features of Mars through my citizen science work, and I think it is possible that very simple forms of life did once evolve. However, the period of time required for complex life to develop is extremely long, and I fear that any simple life forms that did evolve, could have been brought to an end quickly by a dramatic change in climatic conditions, causing the disappearance of water, and a depletion of atmosphere. Asteroid impact is the biggest threat to evolving life, as we have seen from our history here on Earth, and past Extinction Events.
Juliter is the God of life and death in our solar system.
It's massive gravity can move planets into different orbits.
Jupiter was the bringer of doom for Venus.
They tested the drill on every type of rock... except sandstone. XD
The guy is the BEST COMMENTATOR OF
ALL TIME!!!
An excellent video, well done. Thank you.
Thank you Alex. Another great update on the trials and tribulations of my favorite Martian, Percy. Looking forward to more from Percy in the future. Now I think I will go outside (which I've nicknamed Ambience) and start naming all the rocks in my yard. ( apparently NASA has a little downtime in between samples)
I didn't know that's what had happened to the first coring. Thanks for the explanation.
Regarding the rock turning to dust and thus being uncollectable, can Perseverance fill one of the tubes with the dust from the crater? That dust would be a mixture of many of the rocks, and is itself a form of sample collection. It would be great to know everything in the dust.
A stone that turns to dust?..is that sedimentary?
The tubes can yes but the arm cannot
Same. I remember hearing about a problem with rock core collection on Perseverance, but this detailed explanation is appreciated.
@@andrewadius142 Yes.
I don't think the Perseverance rover was ever programmed to do that, in fact NASA probably didn't even consider that.
I love how it can navigate on its own! That'll significantly increase travel times
I LOVE THESE SERIES
Although I had followed this live on Perseverance Twitter so no new information was revealed, its still a nice video to condense the events in a small format.
I bet it was sand stone or mudstone
I actually feel like the Rovers are alive. They give me an R2D2 feel.
That makes the Curiosity Rover singing happy birthday to itself all the more sadder, Awh
If we want them to feel more alive, specifically Perseverance, we could all just call it "Percy" for short :D
It never ceases to amaze me what humanity is capable of😍
Thank you for this video !
Wow you mentioned that Jezero means Lake 😊 You earn my subscription. ❤
Awesome channel as always say 🌍💯
Yes
The fact that this amazing tech is here, and sending proof and data is so awesome. Science fiction is reality now
Perfect timing
Maybe it's a good idea that I'm not working at NASA, but I would have installed a pizza wheel on the rover in case it came across an unsliced pie.
What a half baked idea!
The extra crumbly rock sounds particularly likely to contain the remains of simple monocellular life to me. I bet we missed it and won't find out for fifty years.
Have you ever seen a monocellular fossil, its effects on rocks or maybe even how fossils are formed? You are clearly making a few incorrect assumptions on fossils. Rock formations can be far less compact and solid then that of even the weakest natural rock formations on Earth. There is less gravity and other forces to act on a forming rock to make it as dense as it may be on earth, this is literally expected. Also finding and verifying single cell fossil, basically impossible even here on earth. If you are looking for monocellular life your best bet would be ice
@Milwaukee Mac Repair you sound like a loon.
@Milwaukee Mac Repair not to mention billions of dollars thrown at a planet with no hope of harboring human life. People can barely hack it in the deserts here but these nerds out of touch with reality want to live on Mars. Indeed, people need to learn how to live here first.
We have Viruses that still plage the world that scientists still don't have answers for.
@Milwaukee Mac Repair wtf does that even mean
Alex, your videos are astronomical 🚀 🌙
Abso Fab Presentation Alex !
A lot of people don’t believe in UFOs
But we have a rover driving around on Mars
Imagine only being able to drill 30 rocks on Earth to determine if there’s life on Earth. I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve never found life in a rock on Earth..
They are trying to find bacteria and small life forms that cannot be seen by the naked eye, are you dumb on purpose?
u chdcked with microscope?
Life of human on rocks. Human become rock before bcos god angry. Opposite side by newton third law it will be a human being to the system life...
Wat dangerous to astranout i don't know.. they should not drill rocks and minerals in case planet of fitness.
If I'm ever perusing U Tube for something to watch, and there is a bunch to choose from, and I'm scrolling scrolling scrolling, and then I see Astrum,
I immediately click on it.
He never disappoints. Yay.
This is simply amazing ❤️
My name is on Mars (not my Internet handle, real name).
I was a member of the Planetary Society and we had raised money to help with first lander, Pathfinder.
In return, NASA let us place a microdot on Pathfinder with members names.
OK, its probably been wrecked by the environment since then, but my name was on Mars.
If you're lucky, you may get to find it again sometime in the near future, assuming they start sending manned missions to Mars relatively soon.
Regarding the collection of rock powder, why not build a bottom cap on the core-gatherer? Maybe a spring powered set of washer segments that are pushed together after the sample of powder is collected, forming a retaining bottom to the collector.
Ya we'll just wait till we can get technicians out there and they'll be sure to add stuff....
@@ex5080 I was talking about the next rover.
Just wonderful~! !
Was mars gravity considered for the drilling! It was a thought in my head! Could be why the debris blew away when trying to collect sample! Light weight and lighter gravity, might make things get away! Or the mars wind?
My take away: under lower gravity, sedimentary rocks which is formed under pressure from sediment build-up should be expected to be weaker.
That sounds like a reasonable explanation but that also sounds like something they would have taken into consideration in the years (decades ?) of preparation and testing on Earth and on Mars with previous drilling missions
@@Soken50 apparently that's not the case as we've seen here?
@@refindoazhar1507 Was the reason mentionnés in the video ? I missed it ?
@@Soken50 they've tested it in 100 type of rocks and never encountered this problem before. Considering the nature of sedimentary material, i would've thought that they would tested it on some more brittle materials.
This is my takes from this video, i don't follow the mission very closely so i don't know whether that's correct or not
@@refindoazhar1507 Yes they tested it on 100 types of Earth rocks, formed in its gravity well, what we're wondering (and hoping) is whether they accounted for Mars low gravity in its formation.
@9:20
ALEX: It was the rock itself was to blame
ROCK: I think we've got into a rocky start.
Outstanding...
Is it possible to have abilities on the Rover to do digs and drills and tests without having to commit to storing them into the core chamber? So you could poke around and then once you find something promising then you can chose that to chamber up in storage. Also can they run on nuclear energy? Small form nuclear energy options? So power isn't nearly as limited? Could you add brushes, air compressors, to blow 🌬️ dust off of solar panels and make sure they always stay at higher working efficiency. Can there be a arm that's used like a mini backhoe, so you can clear out areas and get down to layers just under the surface? Lastly, can they upgrade the data transfer to the Rover from earth to use laser data transfer tech instead of the current system that has a lot of limitations?
Perhaps those questions are best reserved for the engineers at NASA rather than the TH-cam comment section.
Air compressor on mars.....genius
But for real an extra arm would probably only add to the complexity of the rover (more wear and tear for micromalfuctions to build-up)
Changing anything hardware wise is a far bigger ask then you might realize, they've been using the same computer for data and transmission to earth i think for as long as 20 years (maybe more) because it's reliable and radiation protected.
You're asking them to drop working tech for tech we don't have any evidence working on other planets
@@LetsConquerTheUniverseTogether nasa engineers use youtube as do millions of other people in other professions. Let’s not shut down good questions because they aren’t asked in the “right” forum!
@@johnnymitnick yea, no, he's right though. It might be more productive to take those good ideas and write them down, send them to NASA itself. Assuming it has not been done.
@@mrEofPlanetEarth -- or both
Why have they not tried to get Ice core samples from its poles would that not be better
Well the mission that went there 40 years ago crashed and theres kinda no point of sending a replacement
@@polishkerbal6920 multiple rovers have landed on mars since 1998 , you are misinformed.
I mean the mars polar lander or something
@@fifthward1983 it crashed into mars when landing
@@fifthward1983 the lander crashed on 8 Feb 1999
Interesting, thank you.
Another fantastic video. Looking forward to seeing you at 1M.
Kinda crazy how Mars just looks like the deserts of our earth
I wonder what the timeframe is until we’ll know for certain if life existed on Mars or not.
If there’s any sign of life, we’ve got to freeze it, then bring it back to dissect in a lab. Find out if we can eat it!!
Channel is so good.
Ik heb echt het gevoel dat we van Mars komen....althans de mannen...echt heel bijzonder deze gemoedstoestand heel bijzonder hoor
Has any rover been equipped with a microscope?
It seems to me it would be useful.
I guess microscopes don't usually help much with rocks. You mainly need different forms of spectroscopy to analyze the various minerals and elements in the soil. From the spectroscopy results you can gauge whether life existed there or not.
@@souptikb7 I was thinking that it would see micro fossils. Maybe I'm wrong.
@@mikegLXIVMM spectroscopes work as microscopes.... in some way
They said it did have some kind of equipment to check the rock then they didn't wierd
why is this unlisted?
I saw this video 3 days ago and i tried watching it later but that was gone💀💀💀💀
Solid!
Top KEK!
So EXCITING!!!!!
Did life ever exist on Mars? It may be quite some time, if ever, before we find evidence that it did. COULD life have existed there? From all the evidence thus far (Goldilocks distance from Sun, evidence of surface water, not just ice), the answer is yes!
The answer is.............. No one knows. But not likely.
No
"Goldilocks distance from Sun"? That's precisely what Mars hasn't got. The only planet at the 'Goldilocks distance' (and with all the other unique aspects) is Earth. So, no, the answe is 'no'. No life elsewhere in the Solar System. Quite possibly no life anywhere where we could reasonably reach or make contact with. We are on our own.
Just hope when we get there no one left one of those Ghosts of Mars Doom
booby trap things?
All the conditions and all the raw ingredients were there. So if Mars was wet for long enough why not? If so, it may still exist but it would have retreated deep underground as the water disappeared from the surface. Chance of a wheeled rover finding it - zilch! Only if and when people get there will we will find out for sure.
Bloody hell, I wondered where I dropped it. Thanks.
Not sure about you all but I laughed so hard at the pic of the core sample.
It's more like vitrified soil than rock imo. I am very surprised scientists haven't said anything about it (ok...second sentence is sarcasm because we can't give any hint that we originated from mars, took over earth, and enslaved it's inhabitants until we were able to pro-create under earth gravity.)
You're nutty!! 🤪
No thanks
Imagine the odds of a meteorite landed on preserverence.
Considering a couple different online sources estimate about a 1 in 700,000 chance for a human to be killed by a meteorite, I'd say maybe there's a similar chance for the perseverance rover, just maybe a little bit higher of a risk due to the fact that mars has a much thinner atmosphere.
Thanks, Alex! 🟠
Finally someone who can correctly pronounce jezero. 👍
or rather, cares to correctly pronounce. It's not as if it's a tongue twister.
I wonder why they didn't put ground penetrating radar on the Perseverance? Or how about the same technology that is on the satellites that have been looking deep into earth and mapping the lava that is deep in the core? If they were really looking for life they would have included some of this stuff.
Have you ever tried to look at ground penetrating radar (or any radar, really) data? It's hardly easy to interpret even for fairly large structures, unless you already have a decent idea of what you're looking at. Anything the size of microbes just isn't going to show up either, simply due to the wavelengths being too long. The best resolution you could possibly hope to get is around 10cm, if you want to look deeper, it gets worse quickly (longer wavelengths yield worse resolution but better penetration). So no, given the mission goals, including this kind of sensor wouldn't have made any sense, because the expected outcome would be to find absolutely nothing.
I believe that live exists in our own backyard such as Enceladus & Europa. But Mars is our closest bet & easiest to access. It just takes is a few inches of rock to protect microbial life from the harsh radiation of outside. So all we have to do is drill into the right spot. Fingers crossed 🤞
Excellent video with briefing. Thanks. God bless all who are involving in the mission. By Raja, Ranipet Tamil Nadu India

What if there’s a habitable area underneath the surface of mars? Like trees, grass and water. Like earth but covered up with sand and rock.
Jules Verne would have loved that
the trees and grass would require sunlight, so that is impossible
Unfortunately impossible im afraid, if there ever was life on Mars it died a long time ago, as much as I would love there to be alien life somewhere, I think earth is the only place :(
Well it’s a very interesting 🤔 thought 💭☘️
Curious to know how one posts, 4 days before this video was released?
waiting for a doc. on the defense weapons aboard, any offensive capabilities and charging stations found in the area. If that's classified info then it would be interesting for an expose on the people and their jobs at mission control, designers, testing and assembly, all the behind the scenes. Great work! Thanks
😂
Awesome video
Your voice is so soothing, my eyes is now sleepy
This episode brought up something I had wondered about. Sedimentary rocks on earth often have moved around thanks to tectonic activity, and in so doing have become harder-- a friable sedimentary mass turns into a porous, harder solid. Sort of a natural equivalent of the industrial process of sintering.
As I understand it, Mars never had a tectonically active surface, at least not on a large scale. So then is there really any sedimentary rock equivalent to, say, the siltstones and sandstones we see on earth? That second core sample held together, but it looks to me that it did crack.
Hey man another amazing video? What is the background music??
More aerial video of Perseverance from Ingenuity would be cool.
Ooooh what did the rocks do? .. Oooh I'm excited! .. Ooooh.
We should be looking for and exploring caves on Mars. If there's life anywhere on Mars, it will be deep in caves.
Excellent video. This is the real bread and circus for 21st century. Getting a signal back 20 mins? not much room for maneuverer ;Also the rock sample that went wrong, that sounds like a reasonable answer. that it crumbled ;-) It is another planet after all so you can't test always right.
Yes, this is a very interesting video! Looking forward to viewing some more!
The intromsong by the way is Andrew Langdon - Light-Gazing
It's so funny how they always have many angles of the rover from every distance
Awesome
