Mars veins are not what they seem

[@motoflyte]

Thanks!

[@MarsGuy]

It's really encouraging to know people literally value this channel. So thanks much for supporting it.

[@motokid6008]

Yooo animated Mars Guy! Nice!

[@spam_slayed1481]

That was great. He is alive.

[@jawshoouhm]

This is a huge development 😮

[@zam6877]

There's a lot of potential for mischief here 😁

[@nagualdesign]

Looking forward to seeing the Swiss Army knife (for scale) being used to open a beer bottle.

[@Rmm1722]

Good

[@peteengard9966]

The greatest Mars channel. Tired of the freaky music, no commentary, and captions that wiz by so you miss the explanation. Now with an animated MG! How fantastic. Thank you.

[@MarsGuy]

Hi praise! Thanks, glad you appreciate this channel.

[@jackieking1522]

60 years ago, watching Don Giovanni on TV, I nearly died of fright when the Commendatore comes to life. And pretty much the same just now as Mars Guy moves. Quite startling. And nicely done. As usual😀

[@MarsGuy]

Ha, sorry but not sorry!

[@apriladams7119]

Mars Guy is moving on Mars!!! That was awesome! I LOVE this channel! I'll swear my Sunday coffee tastes better than any. Thanks for the update and a great tasting cup of coffee!

[@MarsGuy]

Happy to be able to provide updates AND improve your coffee!

[@drguenther]

What a great episode, stunning facts, moving Marsguy for scale and a great explanation of the unexpected! Thanx for telling the gypsum story to understand the difference! Fascinating things to come!

[@MarsGuy]

So glad you appreciated all of this. Thanks!

[@peter9477]

"Mars veins are not what they *seam*" ;-)

[@MarsGuy]

Ha ha!

[@bilcal]

Does that mean the veins are unseamly?!?

[@robertwood9939]

No it means the veins are biological like tree veins, fish veins and your veins except bigger.

[@kevinbissett293]

This is a Great Episode. I have never heard the explanation and detail you have just given of the rock formation. Thank You very much. Keep doing what you are doing. One request however. Please make your episodes long. My Grand daughters and I love your channel.

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you appreciate this content. I'm afraid the length is already pushing the limits of my available time, so this is it!

[@kevinbissett293]

@@MarsGuy Thank You my Friend. Then I will take all I can get. Thank You Very Much.

[@RTD1947]

Love the Animation of Mars Guy!!! This presentation is Excellent!

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you do, thanks!

[@flamencoprof]

I am impressed by the ability of those cameras to capture such in-focus hi-res close-up images. And the mission's ability to ensure I am able to see the surface of Mars that way from my armchair. Thanks, Mars Guy!

[@dment0077]

Yes! Those hi-res close-up images are like having our noses touching the Mars ground. 🙂

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

And if he had the L/R versions flicker back and forth at 60FPS (or 30, below 720p), it would probably appear even more 3D and in person! _(at least that's what watching it back at 2x Speed leaves me thinking; I could be wrong and that'd be TOO fast)_

[@SuperSteadyed]

Thank you! Good to see you moving around on Mars!

[@MarsGuy]

Ha, glad you liked it!

[@mariusdragoe2888]

Look! It's moving. It's alive. It's alive... It's alive, it's moving, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, it's alive, IT'S ALIVE!

[@captainyossarian388]

Wow, not only is your compositing looking great, but you've also added animation to direct us to what you are referring to. 👍

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@KentoLeoDragon]

0:22 lucky I wasn't in charge of naming that.

[@sirfer6969]

😆

[@randalllewis4485]

It's very cool that Mars Guy now moves to help with scale and which part of the image to focus on!

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you like it.

[@Mskvaer]

Mars guy moves!

[@sirfer6969]

I know right!? Worked really well in terms of presentation. A+

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks!

[@johncnorris]

I was wondering what a Martian river would have looked like a billion years ago. A lot of the renders show a clear fast flowing Earth-like river but I have trouble believing it would match so closely. Would it have looked more like a brown and very still body of water? The minerals and sand would change the color a bit and the flat low gravity terrain wouldn't accelerate the water like we are used to seeing on Earth.

[@hamjudo]

There was much more geologic activity back then, so I don't think it would have been particularly flat. The lower gravity affects the land as much as the water, so the mountains would have been taller. I learned in grade school that Mars has the tallest mountain in the solar system.

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

It's possible it might've looked like the _Rio Negro_ in the Brazil, and therefore could've been cola or very-dark tea in color. It'd indeed be interesting to know how much of the soil's color would be water-soluble. Although, the creek near my home in E. TN isn't colored at all, despite all the red clay... so 🤷‍♂️ Maybe the renders ARE accurate?! _(that's Spanish for Black River, so it's NEH-gro, and _*_not_*_ KNEE-gro; in case a 'Karen' reads this and their ignorance results in them getting upset lol)_

[@rickitynick4463]

Where's the beef? I remember those commercials.

[@mbrown7361]

Dude, having you *move* on screen makes the scale even better to understand. Once again another good deep dive, too

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks dude!

[@neatodd]

Another excellent video, pitched at exactly the right level for this layman to understand.

[@MarsGuy]

Great, thanks for the feedback.

[@justystarz08]

Love the moving Mars Guy pointing out the points of interest. Keep it up!

[@MarsGuy]

Great, thanks!

[@-mike-8134]

looks like everyone likes the animated Mars Guy (me too) but I really liked the 3d wiggle close ups of the veins... you're killing it Mars Guy !

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Yup, jumping between the L and R camera photos was a nice touch!

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you appreciate both. Thanks.

[@kevinderrick2787]

Full Motion Mars Guy!

[@rjung_ch]

Thanks for the update, loving the animated Mars Guy for comparison 👍💪✌️

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tims_Projects]

I love the effort you put into this.

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you do, thanks.

[@billygamer3941]

Oh, that we could move about Mars! Thank you for the innovative moving 'Mars Guy' who sustains our hope. One sees theses veins and other features, and just wants to grab the rock hammer and GO.

[@MarsGuy]

Indeed! And thanks for the feedback.

[@AerialWaviator]

Loving the animations in this episode, both flicker-cam and Mars Guy gestures.

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you do, thanks!

[@robertcombs2480]

Valley of Mars in Chile looks amazing. Moving Mars Guy for scale adds a nice touch to presentation.

[@MarsGuy]

Amazing indeed. And thanks.

[@coralie9469]

Hey Mr Mars....I resembled that "beef" remark...lol😆but on a more interesting note it's awesome to see you scaled up "Mars Guy" into animation, how "fantabulous" am loving it, thanks!

[@MarsGuy]

Ha ha, and thanks!

[@Tharsis_]

Okay now that animate Mars Guy was just simply awesome Steve, I love it!

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you think so!

[@ericfielding2540]

Interesting plot twist of the mineral veins having grains and clasts. I could see that punny beef line coming well in advance but it was still well done, so to speak.

[@MarsGuy]

Ooh, back at ya! And yes, a still unresolved plot twist.

[@tomk4199]

Loved the animated Mars Guy tour guide!

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you do, thanks.

[@KCFreitag]

Nice to see Mars Guy is not a cardboard cutout!

[@MarsGuy]

Ha, well, maybe a digital one!

[@davidguy209]

Action Mars Guy! 😀

[@perreyalsdam7994]

Loved the moving Mars Guy. Intresting video as always.

[@MarsGuy]

Great, thanks.

[@yakyback]

I love the animated Mars Guy! It makes it all the more immersive.

[@MarsGuy]

Cool, glad you liked it!

[@Dr_Do-Little]

Short (Even more so than usual.), comprehensive, informative. My Mars updates the way I like them. With plenty scale references. Thank you Mars guy.

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you appreciate the concise approach.

[@markminter1]

Love the new animated Mars Guy👍😎

[@MarsGuy]

Great, thanks.

[@simplysteve68]

Glad to see that youve given our intrepid "Marsguy Forscale" life and that's awesome. 👍 Now, see if you can make him walk around within the image maybe towards/from Percy (or better yet, have him go pick up Ingy please! Lol 🤭), great animation and pointing to where you want us to look is very helpful. 👌 Now we at least know that the veins are more complex than first thought, exciting to say the least. 😳 So far, the best vid you've created yet. 😁

[@MarsGuy]

Wow, thanks! Glad you're enjoying the science and the presentation.

[@mjwinal]

MarsGuy is very helpful, enhancing perspective of size, appreciated! The mobile MarsGuy is neat! Helpful as he points out key features. Thanks!

[@MarsGuy]

Great, glad you think so!

[@00kt86]

Number 1 commercial on TV back when it aired.

[@user-iq2yp1dn1q]

if only mars guy were there to investigate more thoroughly than a robot can. This is asking far more questions for future missions to explore.

[@nigelhungerford-symes5059]

Excellent update

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks

[@jbrownson]

This channel is such a gem, thanks for the videos, love the moving mars guy

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks. Not sure if that was a geo pun (gem), but I like it!

[@tomschmidt381]

As others have posted cool seeing Mars Guy wondering around on the surface. Geology is not my day job but love the constant updates on Mars.

Having JUST the wheel fall off is a lot better than having the front fall off.

My favorite part of Sundays, breakfast with Mars Guy!

[@MarsGuy]

Happy to be a part.

[@bubblesezblonde]

I quite enjoyed this vid. Loved Mars-Guy-in-Motion too. Reminded me of a local broadcast show during the space race era called Major Astro.

[@MarsGuy]

Cool, thanks. May have to look that one up.

[@eherrmann01]

As a teenager, I worked at Wendy's during the "Where's the Beef?" ad campaign. It got pretty old, pretty quick. The funny part is that to this day, I have never seen any of the commercials.

[@hawkdsl]

Animated Mars Guy is dope... Ya know.. for people of a certain age. That little old woman still cracks me up.

[@MarsGuy]

Ha, glad you're amused!

Thanks!

[@pixelpeter3883]

He moves! :-)

[@stevedawes9465]

Thank you so much for your work here. The little snippets all add together to make a whole story and understand the context properly. When there is a lull in the Mars news, could you review the various cameras and tools on board Perseverence please ? Thanks

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion.

[@scottthomas3792]

Mars Guy's space suit ( or Mars suit) reminds me of the one in " Robinson Crusoe On Mars"...a fun to watch movie from the '60s....

Well, it is DIY!

[@libertyauto]

Mars Guy! You have the moves, man! Thanks for your videos.

You're welcome!

[@tomhansen45]

It is interesting to follow along with this investigation!

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you think so!

[@jimparsons6803]

Interesting and thanks. Liked the observation about the basalts, tinny rocks suggesting more water flowing across an ancient Mars landscape? I suspect that 'Mars Guy,' is a trained Geologist. Very well done.

[@robadams1645]

He is. He occasionally shows pictures from his geological expeditions here on Earth.

[@MarsGuy]

Yes indeed, Mars Guy is actually a Mars geologist. Thanks for noticing.

[@gerrykeane7331]

Great video! Thanks! Have you made a video or would you make a video summing up the search for water on Mars? Frankly, I've become a little confused about what is known about it and what remains unknown. Love your vids... always look forward to your next one.

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks, glad you're really enjoying the videos. It would be a real epic tale about water on Mars, beyond the time I can commit to make, unfortunately.

[@gerrykeane7331]

​@@MarsGuy I understand completely and thanks for responding!

[@johnmerrett5186]

Now Mars Guy can move, take some samples and put that pick to work!! Nice one M.G. JPM 🚀⛏️🇬🇧😎

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks. Definitely having some fun with it.

[@pixelchi]

If Perseverance and Mars Guy see an old Wendy's franchise sign sticking out of an outcrop this could be of more significance than the recently observed Monolith spotted in northern Colorado and on Europa.

[@P5ychoFox]

I wonder if the shockwaves from an asteroid impact might have pushed a slurry of water and rock into the fractures.

[@robinleicester]

Mars Guy is in his element! Looking forward to seeing that hammer being but to use.

[@MarsGuy]

Ha, well, that may not be happening!

[@thomasboomer9809]

I really liked the Mars Guy animation. That was cool.

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@mrsmissy2669]

Very interesting and educational. Loved that animation of Mars Guy, almost looked like he is really on mars! My daughter bought me an olivine rock that I have dubbed Mars Rock. lol

[@MarsGuy]

Nice, an almost piece of Mars! And glad you're enjoying this content.

[@johnmay1109]

Thank you so much for not having background noise. This content appeals to nerdy 🤓.

For clarity... Swiss Army Knife Standard of Measurement conversion table. Length = 90 mm or 3.54 inches Width = 25 mm or .94 inches.

[@MarsGuy]

You got it!

[@rjung_ch]

Wendy's reference from the 80s 👍💪✌️

[@NicholasColdingDK]

I guess the difference in gravity also plays in these observations?

[@Sheaker]

Thank You Mars Guy!

[@charleslord2433]

Oh, I saw that punch line coming all the way from Deimos 😆 - Total thumbs up for the 'animated' Mars Guy! So the plentiful bits of olivine hints that Mars's mantle is similar to Earth's?

[@MarsGuy]

Ha, good one. And yes, a variety of sources and observations make the connection between olivine in the mantle of both planets.

[@FredPlanatia]

I was thinking exactly this in the last episode "Where's the beef!?"

[@MarsGuy]

Yeah, it was waiting to be said!

[@in_10z]

Animated Mars guy for the win! 👊

[@raulkaap]

I'm calling it Tofu.

[@quantumcat7673]

I always knew you were a real Martian.

[@MarsGuy]

I go there in my mind!

[@Don.Challenger]

Now that Mars Guy is moving around to point out distinctions to us how long until he, excited, jumps up and down (calibrate for gravity) when novelties appear.

[@MarsGuy]

Ha, probably not!

[@MrGaborseres]

Cool 😎 👍 stuff mars guy. Thanks

[@MarsGuy]

Glad you liked it.

[@bluhammer06]

So cool to see Mars Guy come to life!

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks!

[@MiemKing]

The only problem is that mars doesn't have tectonic plates.. so how the veins have been exposed 🤔

[@paulmicks7097]

Stick with wind driven erosion sands, some moisture, layering, compaction, erosion, layering , occasional moisture and 3-4 billion years of this activity, it will all make sense.

[@sproctor1958]

Liked the minor animations you utilized. Just enough to be effective without overshadowing your content. Nice! (Hope you don't hear from Wendy's legal team on that final line... 😂 )

[@MarsGuy]

Thanks for the feedback. And nothing yet from Wendy's!
