Some would find it boring to sit and look at nothing but rocks, rocks and more rocks, but this is actually ANOTHER PLANET! Its kind of an escape for me. Beautiful. Well presented.

[@SM-ce1uy]

it's awesome ! I'd never want to live there but the research done is fantastic. love seeing all of these images and discoveries

[@D_Marrenalv]

I agree, with both of you.

[@JRose-zn7iw]

And you know it's another planet...how?

[@u4zaEDITS]

@@JRose-zn7iw You a religion believer? Lol. 🤡

[@D_Marrenalv]

@@u4zaEDITS I have a religious faith (as billions of others do), yet I believe that these views are from the planet Mars.

[@groundzero9106]

These updates are so exciting, 3 months feels so long but it’s worth the wait

[@Anon282828]

Thank you for these great summaries! They really bring home the practice of space exploration.

[@fredclarke801]

The close-up photos are remarkable! Look how clean the equipment is. Not a fragment of dust or sand. Lots of sedimentary rocks, proving ancient water activity.

[@theweirdsquid]

Amazing video, thank you for keeping us all up to date on space exploration!

[@roamorama5046]

When a new episode of Elderfox is released all the rest can wait !! My number 1 channel !!

[@AtomicExtremophile]

It's fascinating, I'd like to be one of the humans that will see these wonders in person!

[@dmr8914]

Stunning work. I sit here watching this thanks to the net, amazed that in my lifetime i get to see Abbott and Costello march and fly around Mars so easily. Technology has come a long way from the Moon landing!

[@blk77sunshn]

I love your videos ! Makes my mind wonder what the planet looked like when it had an atmosphere and water . Must have been a wonder to truly behold. Thanks again.

[@agnellomascarenhas8665]

I love ur videos keep it it up and its almost percy's and ingenuity's second birthday 🎉

i find this series fascinating. thanks for sharing!

[@krispikranci3581]

Near 2 years already. Feel like Perseverance just landed yesterday. ❤

[@evolition7]

A scratched rock, scratched by other rocks falling against it.... wouldn't think too much of it 😂

[@danielgalaviz4165]

Off course not. It takes inteligence

[@andrescientos]

I really appreciate the personification and metaphoric word structure of the narrator. Each sentence is full of life.

Excellent information.

Perseverance has made even sitting around and looking at rocks interesting

[@anar3786]

Great episode as always.

[@daltanionwaves]

Perseverance's eagerness to core-sample everything in sight reminds me of my youth.

[@maxruedy951]

Thanks you guys,these pictures are incredible and you guys have done a great job in these videos,I'm actually excited watching the rover work and cheering their little team on in their mission.

[@revtoyota]

We are just happy to see the channel alive again. And that you are in good health. Is it just me or have the images from the rover been a far higher quality then what was released in the past? For instance 5:15 (or any time around there on that image) seems like the pixel count is 4x what it normally is.

[@ElderFoxDocumentaries]

Thank you so much. Yes, I have a more powerful PC now, and I'm stitching some of the mosaics together myself. This means the images are much higher quality and are even rendered in a higher framerate with a higher bitrate. So an all-around improvement in image quality where I can, thanks for noticing! :)

[@revtoyota]

@@ElderFoxDocumentaries Ahh ok that makes sense. It makes a big difference having that extra horse power when rendering. I just looked and I was watching it in 1080p when I noticed it. lol... You did a great job. So now I will go back watch it in 4k. I want all those frames. If you don't mind me asking whats the average render time for a video like today?

[@ElderFoxDocumentaries]

Sure, with my new PC, it's less than 30 mins. With a standard run of the mill gaming PC, probably 1 or 2 hours. An older PC or laptop, however, would likely struggle, and you'd have to decrease the bitrate or framerate. The image you refer to at around 5:30 was 25mb, so it's processing 25mg 60 times to generate 1 second of film where any movement is involved.

[@revtoyota]

@@ElderFoxDocumentaries That's not bad at all. I'm guessing you are letting the GPU do the heavy lifting over the CPU. But either way it has a great final product. That frame rate looks amazing on YT. During the sickness that shall not be named I started a pet project up scaling/rendering some of my favorite older films to 4k. The average 1hour 30 minute movie took just short of 3 days of letting the pc chug along. Thank you for your answers and time. I don't want to bug you. Have a great day man, I can't wait for the next video.

[@OnTheRiver66]

@@ElderFoxDocumentaries Thank you for your work, the results are appreciated.

[@lcmlcm2460]

It’s almost divine like watching mars in 4k or 8k, it’s awesome. Thanks ❤

Amazing documentary !

[@Darkness_Unveiled]

Very spiffy and nifty. These videos are some of the best Mars documenteries I have seen. It fascinates me that we already landed rovers onto a different planet! Keep it up!

[@fritzmiller9792]

Tough to get internet or satellite sometimes when it is raining BUT all this perfect video lands here on this spinning planet racing through Space from another planet doing the same so very very far away.... incredible isn't it? Or maybe that top secret facility in the middle of Australia is where it was filmed through a red filter? 🤔

[@Darkness_Unveiled]

@@fritzmiller9792 perplexing.

[@kegelschneckenmett2026]

As always a stunning documentary guys. TY

[@FinkipGirl]

I live hearing about the rovers journeys!

[@x-Spirax-x]

Every Sol, I feel like we are getting closer to the inevitable. We are going to find life on Mars. Wether or not that life is still living has yet to be known. It's not impossible for Mars to bare life. Mars was just like Earth in its early days, the ideal place for life to develop. The hurtle is finding said life, if it formed at all before the murder of the planet.

[@Nyika1203]

There is plenty of life on Mars, but this isn't Mars.

[@davidvaughn7752]

Thank you for anoher interesting installment!

What l find amazing is the film from mars is crystal clear....whilst film taken from your average Earthbound security camera is worthless..This is great stuff I'm binge watching

[@ToastLord42]

I love how after millions of dollars were spent to make this mission possible it ultimatly comes down to "then perserverance found another rock"

I like the idea of the rover itself wanting to drill stuff as opposed to the scientists and engineers on Earth wanting it to.

[@akashchris7056]

Can nasa tell us why they keep us in lies

[@Irishkennedy931]

I grew up watching documentaries with my dad, and some of the narration was just God awful. And they would spend 5-10 mins talking about one photo and just keep changing the angle of the photo and slowly zooming in every 60 seconds, it was like watching a 40 min slide show presentation with only 5-6 slides. Very boring. This wasn't only very informative but also a pleasure to listen to and watch. Great timing on all of it, had my full attention through the whole video. This channel deserves to be bigger.

[@caroleanderson4020]

I'm 61. My parents have passed. I watched the moon landing on TV when I was a kid. I think about Perseverance & Enginuity sending videos of their scientific adventures on MARS back ro us. I think about my parents. I try to imagine how blown away my parents would be by the beautiful images sent back to us by the intrepid lil robot scientists.

[@hootinouts]

I'm absolutely blow away that our national debt is immense and there are cities like Detroit that have become ghettos and there are pandemics lie COVID and yet we can spend trillions of dollars exploring a wasteland, and for what value? What has the exploration of Mars done to enrich your daily grind here on earth? Wake up.

[@srf2112]

Right about 6:33 while the rovers abrader is working you can see the loose soil to the left of the sample rock start subsiding from the vibration. I would think that should give the scientists some information on the surface soils compaction, density etc.

[@gaurdiantome8352]

Nice catch on that calander, 2.85 years. Each rock 1 Martian year.

Everything was thus buried 1-3 cm wasn't solved.
