I am an old man nowadays, but I remember my grandmother telling me that in her lifetime, she had seen people riding penny farthing bicycles and riding in horse drawn carraiges, to the steam trains, cars, aeroplanes all being invented and rockets going to the moon. She died aged 97. Memories are so important.
I asked my grandmother who was the earliest US president she remembered. It was McKinley. She scoffed at the news about the 1969 moon landing and said wryly "Nobody can walk on the moon!".
so long ago and yet just a thought away. One I remember is ' the men going out to hitch up a team of horses to a sleigh in the winter ' the men were my great grandfather and family, just a thought away. Thx.for the memories. ✌️
My dad died last year. He was 90. He grew up as the tenth of eleven children of a farmer in the 30s in SW Arkansas and said they didn't know there was a depression... they were already poor and things didn't change for them. He talked about when they got a battery operated radio and got to listen to the Grand Ole Opry at night, riding a wagon to church on Sunday. I wish I'd sat down with my Grandfather and interviewed him about what he seen since 1889.
Why would they go there, even if they could? Even if they could find gold there in great quantities, or diamonds, how on earth would they bring them here? [To make it even a little economical.] It is complete nonsense from the beginning.
My heart breaks that my life will be too short to afford me the opportunity to walk on Mars. The Earth has run out of accessible frontiers. Mars is nothing but frontier.
Breathtaking, yet completely barren. This should teach us to appreciate and take care of the earth. It's the only home we have and likely will ever have.
Seeing this planet Mars makes me love more my planet Earth: the waterfalls, the whispering wind, underground caves, Amazonian forests, whales singing through our beautiful oceans, the sunrise , the mountains elevating in valleys. The African trees and our beautiful lions , the American deserts, the Nile River., hiking along grass and seeing a bird fly. a greeting and a smile from a person along my journey..."Oh! planet Earth the more I live here the more I love the nature of this planet Earth".😘❤️🌏❤️
Ah yes, the wildflowers waving in the breeze and the birds singing in the lush grassof the banks of the Somme, where 109 years ago, 160,000 British, French and German soldiers perished in the first 8 hours of the battle. 😂
Then do what you can to protect it from the ravages of greed and stupidity because while aoc may be off on her time frame the outcome she warns about is legit. There have been 5 mass extinctions. Mother earth doesn’t care if the ongoing 6th takes out the humans. The dinosaurs lasted much longer
It seems impossible to sit in the armchair in front of the TV screen and see images of another planet. And it seems almost obvious, normal. Our brain's ability to assimilate even the most unlikely things with total normality is incredible.
It's that thought that makes me doubt that people were fleeing cinemas when they first saw a train approach the screen. People familiar with photography and penny arcades with their flip-animations would look at the screen and think, 'Great, they've made pictures move better'. I think Bill and Ted got it right, if you could give Beethoven a synthesizer he would have figured it out!
Yet we tell our brain with all its common sense and scientific data to back it up that a male can become female just because we say so. Once humans were smart, but today we allow liberal minds to infect our intellect like a cancer.
@@anjou6497 You really don't get it. There is no content, nor message, nor meaning, no human made it, nothing. Being beautiful is different from being art. There is art that is not beautiful. Words have meaning, you are free to use them as you wish. Yet I'm trying to tell you that you are not expressing yourself quite well, I hope it helps you.
This is an improvement. In the old days of Mars photography they would never show you the color of the sky, the atmosphere. Then they went to redish/orange but now it is more true blue like on Earth. What's weird now is that there is always daylight on Mars but the Moon is always in the darkness.
@@willy2005 Who told you that Mars has no atmosphere? I believe you are confusing atmosphere with oxygen. In fact, the Mars's thin atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide, molecular nitrogen and argon, with some traces of water vapor, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other gases. The copter needs a gas ambiance to propulse into the sky, even a thinner one than Earth's atmosphere.
Easter blessings to you for finding (and offering me) a positive take on this! You are of course right. But still that endless emptiness pastiching the wondrous Earth, mocking the divine Earth; but just an awful, hostile, horrid fail. Less poetically, we could say it raises the key, core issue of whether (as we have been encouraged to think) - odd corners with residual, relict, retiring life are conceivable. I don't believe they are. If there is any life there, at all, it would be everywhere. Thanks be to God, living things are innovative, capable and resilient. Life would find a way. But it did not. Does that mean an absolute green light for terraforming? Good question.
@@sidpheasant7585Yes, but Mars was destroyed millions or billions of years ago, so how can we possibly know if any intelligent life lived there before ? Surely its possible both Earth and Mars were bound together somehow long ago ?
As a artist, I love the colors in these photos. And the organic textures, like the ice wall with the minerals cascading down the ice. That in itself is a work of art.
I make sure to watch every new release of these new images of Mars. Once again I compliment you for doing such a tremendous presentation, with the sublime pace of the drifting landscape, the evocative background music, and a superb narration than helps us ponder and understand. Thank you again, please keep these amazing uploads coming !!
@@anthonymullen6300you need to change sources of news if you inburn their logo in your OLED tv. I mean, variate news sources otherwise you'll end up in a bubble.
I watch in awed silence, the clarity and quality of the video. We are at the forefront of exploration and technology. Meanwhile in ruzzia, 20 % of folks are wondering how a toilet works and what running water is ,, Stunning disparity between the west and a crude country focused on war. Thank you for posting ! WOW !!
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..."
Hahah! Was watching with skepticism and didn’t notice it until I scrolled back after seeing your comment. Can’t take anything serious after seeing that! Edit: Just found out the orbiter has a drone. Possible explanation.
@@donhopf Does a drone flap its wings? Because this one did. FYI there are also fossils of sea life found around where the water areas once were as well- sand dollars and starfish. Art Bell interviewed the scientist who worked w NASA.
@@Cahoo.U I won’t argue about fossils or past life. Just clarifying, are you saying there are birds on mars now? Because just the radiation in the current atmosphere would be a serious problem for any living thing. Not to mention the problem of food.
@@Jmriccitelli You there only one who has been indoctrinated... by a science illiterate cult unfortunately.. You're here taking part in social media through your device no ? Stop being indoctrinated🙃
I not only doubt it, the evidence is mountain high. No man can go to the moon or Mars, there's huge difference in manned and unmanned missions. 'They' are correct, the Van Allen elephant will always be there, it's not going anywhere any time soon.
The Van Allen Belts didn't stop the Apollo missions and of course humans have been to the moon. Radio amateurs on planet Earth listened in on their transmissions.@@deanhall6045
@@allancopland1768 okay. Who cares what shape Earth is, it's totally inconsequential to any of us. It could be a cube for all I care. You're welcome, cheers.
Thank you for showing one of my favorite areas on Mars, [ ~ 3:50 ] Victoria Crater on the way to Endurance Crater, during Opportunity's famous trek from its landing site. Among the best so far. . .
I'd say it looks very similar to our own deserts. I used to work in oil exploration and lived and worked in deserts in Saudi, Oman, Libya, Syria and Pakistan and the vast majority of what I saw looked like this, (rocky, scruffy, grey and bleak) not like the golden sand dunes that you see in movies and holiday adverts.
@@bungabening3530 I was being sarcastic. It is obviously a picture of some place on earth. I don't know why NASA needs to fake photos of Mars unless they are trying to prove tax dollars are well spent. It's hilarious that anyone looks at these and believes they are pictures as Mars.
lol your an idiot, the sky isn't actually blue, they enhanced the photo so it looks better and easier to see features. the sky has an orange and red color to it in the original photos. btw these craters don't exist in our deserts and our deserts aren't littered with a bunch of rocks all over like mars is and no place on earth has these kind of Geological features.Theres places that look partially similar but thats where it ends, not to mention its been to craters that satellites that orbit mars have taken pictures of. your probably one of those people that think we never went to the moon despite being able to see left over craft. its still there and easily seen with a good telescope
It's just amazing that we get to see this content. People smarter than you or I sent robots to Mars that send back high definition visual data and core sample data and who knows what else. I'm just so glad that they share it with everyone. Nanu Nanu.
Somewhere in the distance is a frightened little Martian seeing a UFO for the first time . He will run home to his Mummy who will scold him for telling lies and exaggerating .
Quietly beautiful and peaceful. More colors than I would have imagined. To think someday, humans will live there and hopefully take care of this lovely planet. ❤
Wow! Mars must have had a world wide flood too! It has the same sedimental layers as Earth from the enormous flood 1,000's of years ago. Go figure....(Arizona)😂
Fool, the scriptures written 1000s of years ago were right. Otherwise like evolution claimed you should've found teeming creatures in Mars. Oh wait, you merely explain (away!) what you find, don't you?! N what you said a few 10s of years back is full of lies.
@meikala2114 Wrong. It is very easy to see the results of a global flood on Earth and in these videos of, Earth. I think the laziness lies in your mockery.
Thanks for posting these amazing photographs - hard to believe we now have such detailed images of another planet. It looks a sad place - so barren, dessicated and devoid of life.
Amazingly desolate, untouched ground that hasn't changed in millions of years except for some movement of the sands. Beautiful in an eerie bleak way. Awesome yet so uninviting.
Your sarcasm diminishes your credulity. The creator of this video has a genuine talent for showing us genuine footage. If this was mocked up images of Arizona it would soon become obvious.
It's not very intuitive, but if you figure 1/3 Earth gravity and density of mineral structures similar to Earth, you can kind of work out how big some of the rocks you see are likely to be. If it wasn't 11:54 PM I might have the energy to try to figure it out.
Oh, how I'd love to explore up there, look through the rocks and see the sights! It'll sure never happen in my lifetime but at least I now get to see close-up views of the surface and it's features, as a child it was just something you dreamed about but never fathomed that it would actually come true and we'd be able to see the actual surface, as we do now. Space exploration is always something I stand behind, it's important for so many more reasons than the average person can grasp and it gives the nay-sayers something to complain about that's completely beyond their comprehension. Thank you so much for sharing this great video with us!!
The Santa Maria crater at 3:50 has strong indications of water, with the rocks to the left appearing to be wet, and what looks like some pooling in the bottom. That's absolutely fascinating.
I cannot, for the life of me think of one good reason for sending human beings there. It’s a dead planet. The amount of work that would need to be done there to make it habitable is phenomenal. And for what! The distance, the risk and the cost is outrageous! Finally, we can’t even care for our own beautiful planet which has everything we need for survival, yet we want to go to one which can’t provide that. Absolute lunacy! What we’ve done here we will do there. We will wreck it. Everywhere man goes, he destroys and leaves a mess. If you don’t believe me, just look at Earth!
Wow, 22 million kilometres away and such high res images. Now land on the Moon, only 400,000 kilometres away and show us high res images of all the remnants of the six Moon missions. Piece of cake!
@@deanhall6045 Yes, they have AI now to make sure everything is hunky dory. Once upon a time you could find real critiques of these 'missions', but RU-vid and Google have silenced that.
At moments I can almost feel that... But not really. All that promise with nothing whatever delivered ... of course I am not referring to the mission. I am referring to the planet.
My word! I had no idea we had such stunning and detailed pictures of mars. As the camera pans my first though was new to me; “How did all those rocks get where they are?” For the fist time I see current erosion as the cliff face falls away and see an active planet rather than a stagnant one. I am mesmerized.
Imagine showing these images to someone 1000 years ago and explaining to them that we have little self-flying robots that fly off into space and land on planets. They'd think you were crazy.
It is so very cool to see these images! Although I gotta say nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t wanna live there! We have got to figure out how to get radiation stopped from bombarding the body through the space suits and the spacecraft or there will be no long-term voyages here! But it is amazing that we can get these accomplished from so very far away. Thank you for posting these.
It is impossible to look at this and not begin to imagine what could be done in the way of developing this world and turning it into a new habitat for humans. Untouched, pristine, a blank slate.
Humans have already destroyed earth due to their greed. Let Mars be Untouched, pristine and blank slate as it is forever ! Humans are the worst species!
Good to see the comments by people who know this is bullshit. We don't have the technology to go "back" to the moon but we have crystal clear pictures of Mars? Gimme a break.
At 14:40 minutes the rocks in the foreground appear to be an unconformity . The lower rocks are dipping steeply to the left, while the upper rocks are relatively flat. This indicates two separate phases of deposition. The lower were perhaps lake or river deposits that were them deformed and tipped up, followed by new deposits on top, perhaps wind blown deposits or volcanic flows.
This reminds me so much of the area along the coast of Libya where it looks like sand and is more like concrete. Another place these remind me of are in Iceland.
