They should start with Aerostats (Mini-Blimps and Balloons). The raise into the atmosphere when the Sun is up, and land on the regolith when the Sun goes down. Just cameras, probe arms and detectors, with telemetry uplinks to satellites. Super cheap - so much so that 20,000 of them could be in place with just one mission to Mars. Gyro-copters are very expensive, complex.
@@yuriaddict4245 Indeed, looks like we have to use the balast system to the nth degree! (Around Mars in 80 Days Balloon, lol) - Sorry, my humor is suffering from heat stroke...
Why can't those core samples just be stored in the explorer until the retrieval vehicle comes? Wouldn't that make it a lot easier to find the samples? They would be much less likely to be buried in a dust storm or damaged by a meteor near miss. I've never heard the logic behind doing it this way, dropping them in random places to be picked up in several or many years. They are tiny and the rover is the size of a VW!
1: perserverence can shot down in any moment.. for this they let the sample down.. and 2: perserverence she make selfie with every sample she take.. and the other rover have a shovel it.s not problem to take them..
If the rover can turn over a rock, that might help to find protected amino acids. A recent meteor crater or rock slide would be other places. I wonder if NASA plan to do that?
I think this sounds like China testing technology that will allow them eventually to capture smaller astroids. Which when scaled up would be highly useful if they decide to mine astroids.
Asteroid mining is a valid and great idea. Why we haven't attempted it yet. When there is so much $ to be made from it. unbelievable. The state of robotics would allow for the entire thing to be automated. The use of renewable and cheap power also valid. Does it matter if it takes longer if it costs nothing to operate ?
they have developed a new way of drilling using fusion technology to melt and vaporize the rock, miniaturizing one and putting it on mars to drill in deep could be a viable option
If they could develop a kinetic penetrator Something that takes a core sample as it penetrates With Leaver bars at the end of the shaft t That would effectively use the impact to then recoil eject an in capsulated sample core Maybe with something so it can be tracked And then retrieved by the helicopter There's not much in the atmosphere for it to burn up on Reentry It would be an easy way to collect a lot of samples , Depending on how you design the penetrators You should be able to go down to depths as much as 40 feet Assuming you don't hit any rock
Just a thought. Take a copter over one of the rovers to see if they can blow off the dirt from the solar panels. Also, they want to go deeper into the soil on Mars. Perhaps creating an impact of their own, then send in the core sampler after impact. It probably wouldn't need to be very deep...just deep enough.
Great show! Lots of current reality details! Not sure I agree with all described plans, but experiments are the basis for scientific theory refinement! Whoohoo!
What exactly does this drone do? I never seen any pictures from it and it can’t do much of anything else if it can’t lift nothing but itself. What good is it?
I am probably in the minority hoping that they do not find life on Mars. If they do find something it will most likely be some uninteresting microbes. If they do then there will probably be a focus on preserving them. In my opinion this will get in the way of what we really need to be doing and that is colonising Mars, finding water sources to sustain life.
@ Muppets - not many people realise this but with our current technology we CANNOT detect an Earth destroying sized meteor within a 100 year window. Hence there could already be an Earth destroying meteor on its way within 100 years. We also currently do not have the technology to deflect such an object despite what Hollywood might suggest. If it wasn’t for SpaceX we would still be relying on Soyez. NASA have had zero intention of progressing our space fairing technology. If left to government we would still be using Soyez in 2100. I genuinely believe in 70 odd years from now mankind will be saying thank you to the foresight of one individual who decided to push the boundaries of reuseable space Tech.
Like to know why if a small dull rottor copter , that is needed to left a small amount of weight dos it mean those large raptor engines will work the same on mars has earth in order to land?
@Phil Failla Why decades? Are you unaware of the spacecraft presented in this very video? What magic would make it take them decades to get to Mars? Smooth brain.
Strange. The hought that an asteroid 780m long should have enough gravity to have a moon and to allow a spaceship to rotate around it. So when I was climbing a mountain (hill) in Ireland and I felt like the neighbouring mountain was trying to pull me maybe I wasn't imagining it.
for the outsider, science happens when something spins. a rocket does not spin, so it is boring after the big boom lose its natural sting. literally. had a few media guy in my lab a few weeks ago, show them the insanely expensive equipment, some nice color changing liquid some other experiments and such, only two thing really interested them, the needle used for precise measure of small amount of liquid (needle, spooky) and the spinning magnet that helps to mix liquids, one of the cheapest stuff in any lab. it spins, so it is sciency.
There’s an area by the ice caps where the temperature is warm enough to thaw it out and then it freezes back in the night time but I believe there’s a zone we are water is liquid they just don’t wanna let us know just yet because other people from other countries and private businesses we’ll be headed there the next morning
Contrary to near-universal belief: the atmospheric pressure in some of the deeper areas, like bottom of Valles Marineris and Hellas Basin is sufficient to support liquid water ON THE SURFACE between 0 and 10 Celcius (up to 50 degrees F). NASA/JPL and MSSS don't like to talk about it, but we already have pictures of EXTANT liquid water on the surface in ponds, lakes, and possibly a few streams. That's there now, not millions of years ago and then dried up. All good wishes.
Citation needed. It's pretty ridiculous to suggest that the space agencies would not want to talk about liquid water on Mars, the thing they are looking for. Your claims are sus. Peer reviewed evidence of extant surface LAKES or GTFO.
Why do you come here and just boldly lie about obviously wrong shit? Edit: you edited your comment after I commented, and it's STILL glaringly incorrect. LMAO
It's "near universally" believed because people believe the math, practical observations and experiments more than some idiot on the internet claiming to be smarter than all of humanity.
why dont they just use an explosive to penetrate deeper into the soil...they could actual open up a large area and discount material identified with the explosion itself...seems like we are moving in slow motion on all of this...the Saturn program would still be on the ground if it moved at this pace
I have mentioned to Elon that the infrastructure of Tesla has to be increased by starting a Tesla Texas rental. This will allow more people the opportunity to drive a Tesla for a week or a month allowing them to be the next on the list for a lease or purchase, if so inclined. Also small businesses have to come before the multiple fleet sales by corporations, this allows more distribution of product amongst the population again offering more free word of mouth advertising. So orders under 10 come before orders over 10 or 100 this prevents someone like Herts rental to get all their Tesla's before the starter businesses do. Until production of the Tesla Semi can reach more than 4000 trucks a week I think it is important to keep the fleet sales at 100 trucks or less. If they can Mass produce more than that I would be one of the first to help them with their commercial fleet sales but I also believe in being able to help the smaller businesses get there trucks at the same time and not have to wait in behind for larger orders. So let's shoot for the Moon and Mars, then we will end up amongst the Stars!!
It's definitely a good idea to test and develop colonization techniques for long term space missions, but the real question, Will the drones deliver for Amazon and Domino's Pizza?
Why they did not use the quantum particle physics the study the quantum structure and use the chemical to difuse the atoms in the big stone so it will be changed to ash and collected with a sample and the world will be safety place using the capturing by running the same speed as the large stone it is possible to do that a guess ..so it will be a permanent solution on the earth dwellers thanks
Anybody know about the tic toc ufo? If that is real, is it worth using time and money on new drones to try to find life? Should they use money on something else to get more technologi?
The Tic Tac UFO's are actually plasma balls produced by synchronising two laser beams. These can be tracked by both radar and infrared cameras. The US Navy has been experimenting with this for years as a possible anti aircraft/missile weapon.
What's doesnt make sense is why itll take longer to get home rather then when it left to get there... they're stalling and at this rate by the time we get answers we will be in the same early stages all planets go through like states in this video, were going to be very sweaty and crispy running for our lives into space where its alot cooler
Amino acids are required for most carbon based life that we know of, but not all life requires amino acids, Please don't use blank statements that are categorically false, We know of far more types of life than just carbon based... And even within carbon based there's extremea-files, And if extremea-files don't break the rules enough for you, you gotta start keeping a mind viruses and fire & crystals, anytime you start trying to define life You have to see if it keeps viruses in and fire out, Because there's very few definitions that actually do that...

Ok....it's Mars Dust storms. And wicked storms that make anything here on Earth look really mellow. And don't forget the temperature. So....is going mechanical the brightest idea ?????
I'm all for it. That would *amortize* the costs of making *_Ingenuity Class_* drones over the number that are deployed. $85,000,000 divided by 1,000 means that each one would cost less than $85,000. Being able to count on economies of scale means that, instead of a _bespoke drone,_ new materials and manufacturing techniques could be employed to grind these out like sausages. They could become an aerial reconnaissance drone *_service_* which could be used by any number of planetary rovers. (And rented out for $$$.)
The core samples retain signatures which ferment over strata not detected on initial trials. The move to deliver more flying vehicles is the kind of team based vision that got us to the moon. Regular visits and predictable time measures are the arena of business model accuracy. Asteroid mining will advance the process and the idea of finding life will fall away, in favor of monetary gain. Same old story. We came for signs of life and stayed for the dollar Sign.
How does any of this benefit humanity apart from our curiosity? In the best case scenario it will cause more questions that require billions more to be spent without solving any of our problems here on our home planet. There is a saying and it goes “curiosity killed the cat”
You're missing the last part of "curiosity killed the cat....." ".....satisfaction brought it back" ...we cant stay on earth forever. The Sun will flare, volcanos erupt, asteroids hit, etc. Eventually, humanity needs to explore the cosmos and leave earth. But while we are on earth, space investment provides us with a couple things. 1. Research and development which eventually make its way down to the consumer (think about Space x propulsion or energy storage). 2. Resources (asteroid mining and such)
Mars Sample Return. Funding is ramping up from about $250 million to about $650 million for NASA’s contribution to MSR, an international mission to retrieve samples currently being cached by the Mars Perseverance rover, and the administration is seeking $822 million for next year. NASA notes the mission’s total lifecycle cost is expected to increase substantially as it moves to a two-lander architecture for conveying the mission’s rover and an ascent vehicle to the surface of Mars. The agency recently concluded that a single lander capable of carrying both vehicles would depart too far from proven designs. The landers are expected to launch in 2028, two years later than when the single lander was supposed to launch, with the aim of returning samples to Earth in 2033. With this kind of budget increase, it is highly likely many high tech drones would be deployed on arrival to survey all targeted areas previously analysed and mapped, which are most likely to have had life. Exact details on how deeper core samples beyond surface radiation/sterilisation depths will be drilled with a two-lander architecture, appears to be protected information.
I don't think we should bring any soil from Mars to Earth just yet. We don't know enough. After we have humans on the surface and have completed some solid examinations of martian soil and atmosphere. There is still too many unknown possibilities given the fact this is another planet that may have had life forms for which we have no knowledge of. Who knows what kind of virus could exist on another planet ? No one , we haven't done this yet.

Funding is ramping up from about $250 million to about $650 million for NASA’s contribution to MSR, an international mission to retrieve samples currently being cached by the Mars Perseverance rover, and the administration is seeking $822 million for next year. NASA notes the mission’s total lifecycle cost is expected to increase substantially as it moves to a two-lander architecture for conveying the mission’s rover and an ascent vehicle to the surface of Mars. The agency recently concluded that a single lander capable of carrying both vehicles would depart too far from proven designs. The landers are expected to launch in 2028, two years later than when the single lander was supposed to launch, with the aim of returning samples to Earth in 2033. With this kind of budget increase, it is highly likely many high tech drones would be deployed on arrival to survey all targeted areas previously analysed and mapped, which are most likely to have had life. Exact details on how deeper core samples beyond surface radiation/sterilisation depths will be drilled with a two-lander architecture, appears to be protected information.
Yeah governments fund it but I think individuals should be taking over that now
I don't think we should bring any soil from Mars to Earth just yet. We don't know enough. After we have humans on the surface and have completed some solid examinations of martian soil and atmosphere. There is still too many unknown possibilities given the fact this is another planet that may have had life forms for which we have no knowledge of. Who knows what kind of virus could exist on another planet ? No one , we haven't done this yet.
Damn it Jim! Im a doctor not a landscaper
Are The Klingon in Mars ??
Elon's Teslabots will be the first denizens of Mars. It'll be up to them to establish the underground colonies in advance of a human voyage there.
