Not sure if this has been shared yet. To steal a line from Chris Williams.
“I find that fascinating”
That is an awesome video...but just to be clear, that is the Curiosity rover.
Are they going to try to send samples back to earth? Will they send another craft that will be capable of coming back, or is there a plan to send it back with the equipment that landed on Mars yesterday? That's never been done before. Correct?
I would go insane after day 2 of being stuck inside a tiny tin can in space. I think I like Earth too much to leave it.
And power it without fossil fuels for a year, but we can't keep the US blackout free.
$23 Billion. It should be 5x that. Or more. We get real value out of it -real achievement. Not just our country,but our entire species. Both in the present and for future generations to come.
Hope there isn't some type of killer bacteria/virus in that dirt. We'll have to break all of our personalized masks out of the attic.
Well the temperature range for that area is something like 70 F to -100F. So kind of like Minnesota.
I saw this last spring on 60 Minutes. It is incredible what they have planned.
NASA is heading back to Mars with a new rover searching for signs of past life
The space agency is making final preparations for what one official calls "probably the most complex" scientific mission NASA has ever undertaken. Anderson Cooper reports.

Forgive me for the commercials - they weren't my idea.
FIFY lol. Yeah, you can see the name Curiosity written on the drone as it pans
Hmm, they have been saying this is the first rover to have a microphone to record sound. So how would the Curiosity video be able to have sound? Is the video doctored up?
Agreed. It’s cool though that 72 (?) nations and private industry are all in the space exploration mix.

We give a "probability of success" score to the biggest missions of the coming year—from the sure things to the "may never happen".

It has been really fun to see companies like Space X get involved, and other governments get in on the fun. Really loved the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission that landed on the comet. So damn cool. Hard to believe that was several years ago now.
I’d love to see us really invest and do everything we can to move the Orion program forward faster.
We've all seen this movie play out. Something sinister is hitching a ride home with that dirt. Alien eggs, hypnotoads, flesh-eating viruses, Canadians, something.
still a little disappointed that I missed the live touchdown because of a fire call, but damn is it cool seeing the post for it still. does anyone of a time for when they are going to release the videos of it from the whole operation? will be cool to see it in the 4k on board cameras.
