I really enjoy watching these insightful Space and Science documentaries. I've always been fascinated with the Curiosity rover and what it could reveal for us back on Earth about our own evolution. You guys always do a fantastic job of introducing the history, analysing and presenting these endeavours. I always learn something new after watching your documentaries. Curiosity has certainly exceeded the already high objectives placed upon it. Some of the visuals have been OUTSTANDING. You guys have done a fantastic job presenting these scientific marvels like confirmation of the riverbed and which pretty much confirms the existence of water at some stage in Mars' history. And with that, the possibility that it may have harboured life (microbial?) The detection of methane is one of MAJOR finds in the universe up to now. Though ultimately remains inconclusive. Keep up the superb work. You keep expanding my scientific boundaries.
@19:30 Isn't Mars red due to oxidation of iron? (rust). Mars hasn't had O2 in 4 billion years which means if any rocks were exposed to the current Martian atmosphere within the past 4B years, they wouldn't be red either. So redness of soil (or lack of) isn't too good of an indicator of atmospheric intrusion.
Many errors in the script. Also, a lot of informative but unnecessary information that does not directly relate to WHAT the rover is actually doing on Mars. But still entertaining.
I had been assuming that mount sharp was the asteroid that created the crater. I have seen other craters with mounds in the center and thought the same thing. I guess I was completely wrong in those assumptions.
Could the force of the asteroid hitting the regolith have momentarily liquified the surface of Mars which then rebounded (as every force has an equal and opposite force) it came to a peak and solidified. If so Mt. Sharp could be the volume of the asteroid. We see something like this occur if a sugar cube is dropped into milk coffee however because it remains a liquid it falls back down.
They wont show thats why you need to join them so you can experience it yourself. Its not the government alone but the consequences it will tell us when we know what really is happening. Or its all just a madmans conspiracy theory.
We went from names like "Apollo", "challenger", "viking", and "pathfinder" to "curiosity" and "opportunity"? That's super lame and sounds softer than Charmin cotton.
I hit like on the video and probably subscribe to the creator. This is the problem with society. I can't, after watching and enjoying a video, make a comment that curiosity sounds like the name of a cartoon cat not a piece of robotic technology that was shot millions of miles through space to explore an alien planet. I'm allowed to not like the name of the probe without un-nerdyeko coming in to captain save-a-ho like I disparaged the space program.
@@esotericinitiate1461 problems with society? problem is u clearly can't enjoy something just because it has a unique name, what are they supposed to call it? "hey let's have the *mobile lab robot* scan that interesting rock" ? jesus christ just have some fun u sad sack of depression and gloom, sesh.
being serious they send nxt new rover some time ago, and we still have to watch videos about the older well know to all Curiosity over and over the same photos and maybe's
