Damm 40 months have passed. I still remember me and my dad watching the rover landing late at night

[@RamenNoodlePackets]

I makes me sad that we can't see mars in it's ancient form, i bet it was really cool looking with a thicker atmosphere and liquid water flowing.

[@anar3786]

New format, same quality. Excited to see a new episode every month.

[@ElderFoxDocumentaries]

We were definitely lucky for 40 months. Perseverance did a lot! Thanks for watching :)

[@rquest3059]

It's exciting that Perseverance is still exploring after 12 years of the harsh Mars environment.

[@zaveag5215]

That's curiosity, Persi has only been on Mars for little over 3 yrs or so

[@rquest3059]

​@zaveag5215, my mistake, still impressive none the less.

[@auggie803]

I think that has a lot to do with the sun charging those solor cells,otherwise the battery would have died out long ago.

[@ruud9767]

I much enjoy these tales of Perseverance's adventures.

[@edwardaustin740]

I'm in total awe 🫢 with every video. I appreciate it.

[@_MaxHeadroom_]

I love when these come out. So exciting!

[@JohnWasTaken23]

Go Perseverance! You can do it❤

[@furycat28]

Perseverance is such an amazing rover.

[@spaceflighthistory5362]

Thank you elderfox!

[@ElderFoxDocumentaries]

You're welcome!

[@mrsiimple]

AMAZING! Always eager for a new upload!

[@PAUL-MH]

Pereseverance is earths eyes on mars. Amazing roaming another planet other than our home. Long may it continue to find more secrets on mars!

[@just_another_brick_in_the_wall]

Sure, Maaaaars.

[@markthompson9914]

Every episode blows my mind 🤯 Pity I won’t be around to see the first steps on a new planet. I missed the moon and it looks as though I will miss Mars first footsteps 😢 ✌️❤️&🍀 from England Elderfox 👍

[@ChrisMeyers-c9n]

Well that was a good video of Mars, I think about stuff like that all the time

[@Primatron]

The dark and shiny swiss cheese rock looked more like a meteorite to me. Melted and possibly blasted there from the nearby crator.

[@GenericWhiteMale56]

It's always a good day when you upload! Thank you for your content.

[@vikasshsaini5145]

Seen all the videos of this series from SOL 1 to this 40th month video all at once today only OMG🤩 …now will explore entire mars myself in dream tonight 😅

[@bendeco]

NASA has their own Photoshop division.

[@luks7n]

Amazing video as always! It gives us so much in depth information. Particularly I was used to only see "chunks" of those rovers journeys.

[@worldofrandometry6912]

Fantastic images but still just confirms it's a barren and rocky planet which once had water on the surface.

[@QapNPoo]

Anyone else notice they still color change some photos? You can tell because the sky would be blueish grey as it is shown to be in many after they were previously called out on it.

[@alexeykrylov9995]

If color balance is not corrected on the photos, viewers wouldn't be able to see that rocks have different colors. Everything would just be same brown with very little difference. The normal Earthly photos get color-balance corrected as well. Human eye is also very good at correction for ambient color because it was evolutionary beneficial.

[@SlimTim_dirty_aquatics]

Really enjoying the updates and appreciate awesome video content. Fired Up!!!

[@oldmech619]

The holders are rounded due to sandblasting, not water. 5:10. We can justify sandblasting, but water takes a much bigger jump.

[@oldmech619]

Volcano’s eruptions could have cause lightning on Mars 5:10

[@Genesis-007]

It's a shame we can't see raw, unedited footage. Without teraforming to trigger a greenhouse effect, solar radiation levels are too high for the human body.

[@pollatso]

Thank you 🙏👍🙏🇬🇧

[@notmyworld44]

This is one of the rare Mars Rover videos that does NOT attribute everything it sees to construction debris.

[@susannebrunberg4174]

This is so incredible great! To witness all this. I am so happy to be able look through Persi's "eyes"

[@Supernxvaz]

Elderfox does it again bringing amazing content🙌👌

[@STgauss3268]

Sending my regards to Preserverance, may you be saved out there my boy.

[@caglayanharun]

Danke!..

[@shell.terminal]

Mars is so beautiful

[@sphinxtheeminx]

10:25 below the red arrow is a rock with a flower pattern. I am naming it Flora.

[@sojournerrover9934]

Good morning! 🌄

[@migjing23OCMCHS]

I miss ingenuity chopper😢

[@michaelj.campagna404]

It's so sad about the Ingenuity helicopter, it was nice to have that eye in the sky view of Mars. If only they could find a repair shop!

[@felixzapata9058]

...the rocks at the end of the video in "Bright Angel" resemble what shipworm do to stones here on Earth. Anyone there ever make the comparison?

[@crispycritter7022]

That would be bomb to find gold on Mars.

[@kiratatemaewe3573]

😮 Beautiful and amazing wouuderful color interested thanks God bless ❤

[@lukeryan6278]

Keep us updated on Dwayne “the rock”

[@SeniorMoostacho]

Crazy wind and dust storms. Yet, this thing never seems to get any or if it does, it's cleaned off new, time and again. And, you can see there are places dust builds up. I'm still waiting for the Magic to answer how it's getting cleaned? Like. Cleaned.

[@rickjames7391]

Are you able to control what options are offered for quality? I don't really see a reason for 60 fps when there are only static images.

[@JW007100]

There’s no place like home, There’s no place like home. Take care of our home.

[@warfinch8022]

At 5;36 through to 6;11 you can see a foot path void of stones that are moved to the sides. The stones are to inline on both sides.

[@howardhughes-th8ee]

As i watched these amazing images on mars,bi couldn't help visualising what it might look like one or two hundred years from now. Obviously glass domes everywhere with thousands of "mearthlings" living in them huge dirt moving machine's building mining structures band citadels, perhaps flying cars everywhere, but will the be roads and street names and 'airports' etc. it boggles the mind. Amazing martian footage anyway

[@sandybottom6623]

10:32 those 3 rocks with flat surfaces look like they have been split.

[@glenrich-uu9zr]

Old wines in a new bottle.

[@rudy1574]

Why did the blurr out some stuff when they showed the strange rock.

[@viking8889]

Its internet connection is better than mine.

[@mitya595949]

Anyone knows the source of panorama shown at the end (11:00) and when the credits roll? Love the look but cant find it among latest nasa pics sadly

[@ElderFoxDocumentaries]

If you search for PIA26369 it should come up :)

[@troykleiner4852]

There is a reason for so much interest in Mars more that they keep from us

[@RussellLarrabee]

Let's fix our earth first thing first before going out

[@goldseekersadventures9380]

I see a skull in the very first picture where they’re showing all of the rocks

[@charlesentrekin3616]

Anybody notice that sunset!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Beornica1st]

I know this sounds crazy, but the bolders are lined up in pairs...🧐 I find that bizarre..

[@rstephens049]

What is the planet seen to the left of the sun in the picture of the sunset?

[@kristjiannne]

lol Dwayne The Rock

[@haydenbernard5048]

Why doesn’t perseverance have a drone that it can deploy to assist research. Like it really wanted to sample that white rock …said Mission Control had to tell it to leave and move to the next POI because Perseverance basically exhausted all its tools but was still trying to calculate a way to get to that white rock … Was probably thinking …”I flew all the way through space … I know there’s a way to fly 20 yards over those blacks rocks” Drone people. Even if it’s tethered with something like fishing line so worst case perseverance can reel it back in if need be

[@ChrisBGramz4u]

With such a weak atmosphere, wouldn't Mars be covered in small asteroids? The ones that make it to Earth's surface don't leave much of an impact mark here on Earth. I'd assume the same for Mars. Wouldn't that mean that many of the rocks the rover sees wouldn't have even been there when there was water?

[@sandybottom6623]

10:52 molten rock.

[@yanhammond5744]

That rock is pure diamond which can be cut to run light drive engine,,! ?

[@jayytee8062]

What type of radiation are you talking about?

[@Mohamadanas-yl8jg]

Similar comitry gadet

[@dontdoitdonnell4750]

what if the water from mars was taken and brought to earth to cause the big flood

[@G-Man-half-life]

We really need to start sending humans to mars I feel like space agencies should really rethink their priorities instead of focusing on robotic missions space agencies including NASA should focus more on human missions instead id love to see humans walking around on mars within the next 10 to 20 years from now.

[@worldofrandometry6912]

Possibly, but for what purpose other than research? There's no point in living there.

[@G-Man-half-life]

@@worldofrandometry6912 i view mars the same way I view the moon mars is important from an economic financial standpoint and from a scientific standpoint mars like the moon is full of valuable mineral ore that can be mined and sold for a profit.

Mars always is a Whirlpool of ice, static I've been 2the planet Bye ned xanax

[@lynngrissom6721]

New video? Spires and angels? Naaa....same thing....rocks. More rocks. Nothing but rocks. Worlds most expensive camera to photograph rocks.

[@tyrese777r]

Wait why does the sum look so big if it's far from mars and yet earth is closer and from earth the sun is small🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@nevillemills9517]

Oh please! Stop with this BS now.

[@sourdoughbornsourdoughbred4712]

Don't be so gullible. This isn't Mars.

[@Madladsoldier69]

Umm, no shit

[@MIck-M]

Perhaps geology just isn't for you.

[@sourdoughbornsourdoughbred4712]

Geology means these pics are of Earth. I agree these are from Earth. Or ai. If I missed something let me know. I don't watch this channel often.

[@MIck-M]

@@sourdoughbornsourdoughbred4712 Geology is a branch of natural science concerned with the Earth and other astronomical objects, the rocks of which they are composed, and the processes by which they change over time. So geology just isn't for you - or even the definition apparently.
