Neil deGrasse Tyson and NASA Chief Scientist Explain New Mars Rover

When a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound? With that microphone we can now say...YES!!! I am so anxious to hear the sounds of Mars. Martian: " I hope they're wearing their masks".

[@Dr.TJ1]

Jim Baker Neil would correct you and tell that when a tree falls in a forest and no one is there, it makes a vibration of the air but it doesn’t technically make a sound. The air vibrations only become a sound if someone is there to hear the air vibrations. A dog whistle technically does not emit a sound because humans can’t hear ultrasonic sounds. Some definitions say there is no difference between noises and sounds, but that is not completely true. Sounds are what humans can hear, noises are any air vibration. Surprisingly, even though the surface pressure of the Martian atmosphere is only 1% that of the Earth’s, humans can still hear sounds on Mars and we’ve already listened to the Martian wind.

[@rais1953]

@Mike Bailey Neil's a teacher. He entertains in order to convey information in a way that keeps people's attention. The fact that he's popular shows that it works. I didn't like this video as much as some others of Neil's, I thought the entertainment got in the way of the information but the ten minutes or so of actual information in it came from the best source.

[@MegaSkills9]

As for the microphone experiment...sound will travel differently in a 96% carbon dioxide atmosphere, as compared to our 79% Nitrogen/21% Oxygen atmosphere here on Earth. Specifically a lot slower speed resulting in a much lower pitch. I wonder if they will compensate for this factor to get an accurate sample of any sounds they hear?

[@jameswebb8162]

Great podcast! My son Nathan who is 9 loved it!!! Question: (1) With Curiosity and Perseverance showcasing NASA’s exciting rover technology, will the design be utilized for exploration or is there something better? (2). Has anyone heard about parking a rover on or near Olympus Mons? Or maybe a fleet of drones mapping and collecting samples? (3). If you are chosen as Mars mission commander and had the opportunity to choose where to land. Where would you choose to land and why? Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge!! James and Nathan Webb Dad and son

[@justinstuder7703]

I've gotta ask: is there any relation between your son and a man that has a space telescope bearing his name?

[@antonioluismarcoburgos8117]

Hi James and Nathan. Regarding question (2), to land on Mt. Olympus is not an option due to the thin and low density Mars atmosphere. That's the reason why they always choose low altitude landing sites: to cover the maximum possible distance inside the Martian atmosphere before touch down. As you know Mt. Olympus is aprox. 22 km above mean surface, so we can put it as "there is not enough atmosphere above to slow down" (even entering with a tilt angle). You will run out of atmosphere too soon and crash. A flying drone over Mt. Olympus will have the same problem: too low density atmosphere, so it would need hugh blades at the same time as incredible low weight. Not possible in my opinion. Mapping is already done by means of orbiting satellites. So, collecting samples from top of Mt. Olympus I would say it's really difficult. Maybe someone else can share their knowledge. Greetings from other place in planet Earth! (one with no English as a mother tongue, so please excuse and correct any mistake I've written).

[@marsomatic639]

The Jezero crater is actually pronounced Yezero. It's named after a small village in Bosnia and Herzegovina and it means lake

[@MosesMatsepane]

The microphone will be designed to be sensitive at Martian Atmospheric Pressure. If the microphone is designed for Mars, it will detect sound waves in that environment. As to "sounding" the same as on earth, it cannot sound the same because it propagates in a different medium. Think about how different sound sounds under water...
