Thanks for the update. I saw a discussion about that different rock on the Mars Guy RU-vid channel a while ago. Too bad Perseverance has moved on from that location without getting close to that rock, but it might have been difficult to get past the other rocks in front of it.
I'm always interested in learning more about the things the rovers discover. Thanks, Katie. How do I talk them into letting you post videos more often?
Thank you, Katie/NASA. It's very interesting to see hilly terrain shown in some detail. Future human explorers will want to have land features like these to enjoy while visiting the red planet
I'm sure it's well meaning but the background music is really unnecessary and just seems to dumb the content down a little. Perhaps we are spoilt by having Mars Guy for scale.
I believe these missions are among the best and most efficient uses of funds to understand planets. However, I don't believe any funds for landing a human on Mars have any value beyond getting into an RV and living in Death Valley, California. Do that for two years, and I may adjust my thinking.
The landscape on Mars looks so much like the desert southwest of the United States, it feels like home. The rocks look like the same kind of basalt, the sand & soils look the same. I just want to pick those rocks up and touch them. And I get the urge to build things with them like retaining walls, footings, or even pyramids. We won't need 3-D printed structures on Mars - the Egyptians, Greeks, and Incas taught us how to build with whats just laying there at our feet.
From the looks of it based on images in a Mars Guy video, it's amongst a boulder field, the likes of which Percy wouldn't be able to traverse (safely). It had already gotten a bit stuck a number of months back, and that was in an area which looked to have smaller rocks tan this. _(remember, rover wheels are solid metal, and the rover itself is the size and weight of a small car, so crawling over rocks like an ATV isn't really possible)_
Not to be mean but you guys really need to find someone good at making videos. I've been watching astronomy related videos for years now and it's borderline ridiculous at this point that i cannot watch more than a few seconds of a Nasa youtube video without being bored to death already. Firstly no one wants a 2 minutes quick update where you repeat things you already said a thousand times, no one care to see it , you see, it's not interesting, it's too short to even have the time to set yourself into the mood. The narrator voice needs to be soft and deep not a 20yo girl sounding like a emergency siren. Show the beauty of space and mars do not bombard viewers with writings and useless special effects. Show as much as you can of the real rover, no one cares about the copy you have on Earth.
How about that big one in the background with all the cavities in it? I bet there's some REALLY interesting information contained in there eh ... Possibly even micro-fossils :O .. or crystals of some sort. Might be a bit tough to get to I suppose. lol. There's that other small speckled white rock too of course, and the reddish one near the bottom foreground (unless the red is from light reflection .. but the rocks near it don't seem affected similary)
@@CarlosBenjamin they said it is probably one of the oldest rocks in the area. they theorize it came either from deep in the crust or came from the crater rim, where the rocks are much older.
