That Ingenuity helicopter has to be one of my favorite piece of technology humans have ever made. Talk about getting your money's worth!

[@Space30MINUTES]

Wow, the Ingenuity 2.0 mission sounds amazing! I wonder what it would be like if there were more detailed analysis of its technology? I also really like science and space research. Sincerely invite you to visit

[@alanmcmillan6969]

The future lies with the use of rotorcrafts. Both on Mars and other planetary endeavours. Rovers are too slow, foŕ exploration, at present. But vital fot ground discoveries. The obvious ability of rotorafts covers gives a broader viewpoint

[@stephenfitzgerald8779]

I really like the helicopter, but what happened to using the derigables?

[@jonjosenna5581]

NASA should send a swarm of ingenuities.

[@raystevens687]

That's why NASA needs to hire SpaceX for all there rockets 🚀 and missions to Mars they can do it at a fraction of the cost and because it's cheaper they probably even do more projects on Mars.

[@user-ze5tu4ck1t]

It Really gets me, That an Helicopter Flown on Mars is not getting the Recognition it deserves. 1st its another Planet its got to have had an awareness of its surroundings. The Input alone is Mind boggling. And I'm not a Computer Expert.

The evolutions of man...

Albino u miss me

[@vosa8268]

Perfect Machine.

[@AjayKumarGhosh-il2zc]

Ingen.copter served more than expect'n.The v.2 definitely will show magic to us.As it w'd be powered by A.I.More tech.improved rovers also improve the field of research.I hope solar panels can be protected with newer technologies.But when it will start its journey.We are waiting.

[@Boris_Chang]

Re: the navigation issues: First off, can’t we have smaller and more plentiful rovers? Can’t they put like windshield wipers on the solar panels to clear away dust? And why not have them lay out something like 5G antennae in specific locations and have the rovers and drones use these to navigate?

[@SeraphArmaros]

Wipers for solar panels won't work too well on Mars since the dust is very coarse and would just scratch up the panels instead of cleaning them. We've used compressed 'air' blowers before to blow off dust, but those are somewhat unreliable. As for antennae for navigation, the issue isn't so much the copter knowing where it is as knowing where it's safe to land, which does require it being able to see the landing spot.

[@wesleybeaver]

Nope on the wipers; that would scratch the panels surface and ultimately kill them. As for the beacon scheme....that would require building and transporting the equivalent of multiple Ingenuity type electronics packages to drop on the surface and forget about. Which would require either rovers to place them, or larger copters capable of carrying them (one at a time most likely). As for the tiny rovers, you run into issues of wear due to lack of size to properly seal the drive mechanisms, as well as lack of mass, making them vulnerable to wind and terrain angle.

U Albinos new travel bot 😊

[@simplemind7532]

Great cartoon 👍

You must be a flat earther.

[@Marc_Gagne]

04:38 Isn't SpaceX's Starship the largest and most powerful spacecraft in the world?

[@user-dk1is9fz1c]

It is I don't know why he said that.🤔

[@thelazy0ne]

Not currently operational... As opposed to SLS

[@amazeddude1780]

Regarding your comment about the most powerful spacecraft? Starship has more than twice as much thrust as SLS. Super heavy produces 17 million lbs at launch, and the starship craft, about 3 million.Nov 2, 2023

[@thelazy0ne]

To be proven functional ... 😂

[@Clessandra]

Dear NASA, Please incorporate some "regular Jane's" into your planning teams, would ya?

[@thelazy0ne]

And a few Karens too🤭

[@ARCENAULT]

I jist got back feom mars...no big deal..texas in summer....IS MARS

[@man_at_the_end_of_time]

Bottnauts......by Boston Dynamics? If humans go, the vessel should be really large with real levels of radiation shielding and vastly better propulsion. Not tiny pop cans in space like with the old Apollo program.

[@Nikki_Baugher]

Cost savings through canceling. Update your info.

[@TheStarzzguitar]

Ballons. Blimps. Make it simple. So obvious.

[@OliverGrumitt]

Mars is a place that can only be explored by robotic spacecraft. Sending people to Mars involves risks so great and the cost so huge that it simply would not be worth it. Elon Musk’s plans for a million people on Mars by 2050 are so fanciful that Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse or other cartoon characters like Dick Dastardly and his dog Mutley stand a far better chance of becoming President of the U.S. than those plans ever becoming reality. Whether a Mars Sample Return mission will find evidence of past life on Mars must be, at best, considered extremely doubtful. Any life on Mars will be deep underground, well away from the surface, bombarded by radiation from the Sun because the planet has no magnetic field or ozone lsyer. A MSR mission should not take funds away from other space missions, like the Dragonfly mission to Titan or the proposed probe to orbit the planet Uranus, about which we know far less than about Mars.

Something not belong to you better not fake lies ... because why lots homeless people on your street soon enough they gotta reach your place....😎Arrrgg

[@Cooky00123]

To bad they collected samples from Mars, but never thought about how to get them back, wtf.

[@eligioortiz5783]

Billions of dollars wasted . Years with out finding nothing but Rocks . It would be better to send a craft to circle the planet in low orbit with high resolution cameras . All these years and nothing but Rocks and more Rocks .

[@Reinventglobal]

Maven already doing it

[@chrisray1567]

By that logic, all of geology is a “waste”.

[@thelazy0ne]

What exactly do you think is on Mars other than rocks!?😏

[@damagein68]

@@thelazy0ne it’s all about the water

[@DarthVader20201]

So Geology on Earth of geologist means nothing to the world
