I always think that footage from Mars looks less 'alien' by far, than footage from the moon. Because of the moon's composition and lack of atmosphere I find it impossible to judge distances, so everything looks so weird. Whereas Mars, to me at least, just looks like a slightly odd earth. Unlike the moon's startlingly bright appearance it has colours (i do know that in actual fact there is colour on the moon and that the moon is really dark brown).

Well, it took a rocket flying into space to get to Mars, so, flying a drone on another planet should not be a big deal, so long as there is some form of atmosphere. The big deal to me is controlling it from here, on Terra firma. Flying one on the moon would be harder, but could still be done with small rocket motors..

So their minds become dull and lazy under the protection of big brother. But the reality is that you cannot rely on big brother at all, it is a tough and wild world out there and people have to be on the ball to look out for themselves. And this doesn't just apply to scams and finance, it also applies to your health and well being, science, the food you buy, the products you use, the air you breathe. People are too assuming that the system/someone else is looking out for them and so their minds become dull towards those issues. This is the problem.

@@JayDee-xj9lu I don't know how these drones work, but I don't think there will be any direct gearing between the rotors, because they have to turn at different speeds in order to turn the drone - so they probably have two motors. Still, it looked funny when thewy both turned the same way!

@DownhillAllTheWay
@DownhillAllTheWay 2 роки тому
The sky crane was to lower the rover, which is quite heavy. The sky crane was made to support that weight, whereas the helicopter couldn't support much more than itself. So you couldn't use one module for both purposes.and whatever lowers the rover to the surface will be discarded, because there's not much other purpose for it. I don't know the logistics, but I imagine rocket fuel for the sky crane is probably much more energy-dense than batteries are, and therefore lighter.

@DownhillAllTheWay 2 роки тому
@@anthroariel Are you suggesting that we should collect everything we send, and blast off with it, using still more fuel (which would have to be transported from Earth, and which would make extra weight to take down to the planet's surface, making yet more requirements on the sky crane)? Then where wouild we send it to? Into orbit around the planet? Into orbit around something else? Bring it back to earth? - to put it where? Maybe yolu think we should bury it on Mars - using a digger and manipulator, no doubt, that would need to be taken there, with all the implications of that extra mass and no usefulness beyond "being tidy"? Get real! That's a lot less likely than getting people to take their beer cans with them when they leave the picnic area in the park - something that would require no more than a small effort. What you are suggesting involves (heavily) tax payers.

That wouldn't work because of the weight. Ingenuity had to be very light because Mars's atmosphere is only 1% of Earth's so the blades can't provide much lift.

It's amazing that water (H2O) which has both hydrogen and oxygen that make it up can put out flames, which both hydrogen and oxygen are both flammable. Having 2 very flammable gases and when combine they can put out fires. Idk about y'all but I do find that odd but really amazing at the same time! Awesome also!
@user-pk9qo1gd6r
@user-pk9qo1gd6r 2 роки тому
Maybe learn so chemistry so you can learn why they are flammable to begin with. The basic idea is that H2 and O2 have too much energy so whenever they meet they like to combine into H2O which has less energy, and release the extra energy as heat. This is how all combustion works.

I've always wondered how many people have thought of the fact that due to the understanding of gravity we have now that Mars might have a surface thats younger than the Earth?? What I mean by this is that we sent a twin into space time and he came back younger than his brother (not by much but still a measurable amount) due to the lessening of gravity. Mars has far less gravity on its surface than the Earth has on its surface. Being that there's a span of 6.5 billion years almost for the age of the Earth and other planetary bodies. How much of a difference would that make in an evolutionary stance of Mars' surface compared to the Earth???
@ockertoustesizem1234
@ockertoustesizem1234 Рік тому
that small difference in gravity would barely make a time difference. only something like a blackhole has a enough gravity to affect time in ways that are clearly visible and not so insignificant that specialized tools that measure tiny nanoseconds are needed just to notice the distortion of time

"Shocking" is over-used by all media. No doubt the scientists and engineers were astonished and excited but I don't think they were ever "shocked". A shock would come if a fossil of something like a trilobite is found on Mars. Until then, astonished is as strong an adjective one needs.

@@elck3 Correction: Not much chance. Travel to Mars, if and when the transport is developed, will be difficult and expensive and just the journey in microgravity will take its toll on your body and brain before you suddenly find yourself back in semi-normal gravity again, having to carry more than 1/3rd of your normal body weight around with weakened muscles. Astronauts returning from the ISS need help with that. Conditions on the planet are much more hostile than the worst parts of the Antarctic on Earth, the air and the soil are toxic, the water when you melt the ice will probably need detoxifying, solar and cosmic radiation are at deadly levels, if you need medical treatment it's a couple of years before you can get home, apart from that it might be OK. Good luck!

Its not so simple making oxygen for rockets. You need liquid oxygen in the tons range. The rover made the gas form right. You need to compress it into a liquid and get it cold and keep it cold. You need an energy source and a facility pretty much and the time it would take is untenable. You may lose half as you make more just while it sits there venting
@alexanderstone9463
@alexanderstone9463 Рік тому
“You need to compress it into a liquid…” Yeah, before it goes into the rocket, why do we need to rush turning it into a liquid beforehand? “…get it cold and keep it cold.” Mars is not a warm place. “You need an energy source…” As far from the Sun as Mars is, there are various ways in which solar power is a little easier on its surface (namely the lack of clouds unless it's dust storm season). Nuclear reactors are great too, especially since there’s no one there to complain if one malfunctions. “You may lose half as you make more just while it sits there venting.” I do not recall cylinders of oxygen gas needing to vent all that much. The shelf life for a cylinder of compressed oxygen is several years is it not?

I'm skeptical about there still being evidence of past life on the surface of Mars. So much damage caused by solar radiation and dust storms and what have you. Surely any such delicate fossils will have been long destroyed. Underground will be the best place to find life. That means really advanced walking robots or people with boots on the ground to find it. Life may still even exist if there's a stable pocket of water and atmosphere trapped under the surface.
