I'm gonna say, the rover is so much bigger than I thought it was

[@Teth47]

+Gerald P Yeah, they really don't give you a good sense of scale in most of the videos... I figured it was about the size of a large dog...

[@smartereveryday]

+Gerald P Yeah I was quite surprised. I was kind of thinking "golf card". It was more like a volkswagon or hatchback. I wish I could have gotten into the mechanics of the wheels etc. There's so much to learn about it. I shot some video, but for the sake of not making a 30 minute video I decided to leave it out. Perhaps I'll upload it separately to the second channel.

[@skyrianlord2684]

+SmarterEveryDay That would be cool.

[@Niosus]

+SmarterEveryDay If you have more material, please do make it available. Even the raw footage would be incredibly interesting to see!

Dude, why don't you have your own TV show?! seriously you're part of the best KZbin has to offer, and thank you so much for all the hard work you do. you make us all- Smarter every day!

[@xboy4331]

Because tv shows allow you 0% creativity. You only do something if the executives think it will make money. On the Internet Destin has total control of what he makes and when he makes it.

[@FlameSpark2013]

+Trygve Germo Which is why we love him :D. Still I feel like, should he ever get the chance, he should give something more official a try. He should just prioritize his creative freedom, because that's where most of his talent is.

[@unstopableguy1]

The internet is the future of entertainment and kinda already is. Television has soooooo many flaws for so many reasons

[@FlameSpark2013]

unstopableguy1 Technically, as it is, more people still watch live TV and/or Netflix than KZbin or similar social media sites. Although that is changing, yeah. But just think of the exposure Destin would get? He might also get a higher budget and, potentially, a bigger bang for his buck. Like I said though, I feel like his creativity and childish interest in everything he talks about should be his priority, as that's one of his most appealing qualities.

The rover is way bigger than I thought it was.

[@sithlordmaster181]

Back when they launched it they said it was about the size of a mini cooper

[@Annatar.]

Yes indeed, i never saw a picture of the rover with a reference (like a person). I kinda expected something of the size of Sojourner (the rover from Pathfinder Mark salvages in the Martian). Beatiful piece of engineering.

[@LillianWinterAnimations]

Ayep! The pictures make it look small because there isn't anything you can really scale it to. Most people think it's maybe the size of a desk, or a coffee table. It's really fun to see peoples reactions when they realize it's actually the size of an SUV.

[@ezrakainz]

My favorite part is that NASA said JPL could not make a mould on the tires that would stamp JPL on the surface of Mars. JPL fixed this by writing JPL in Morse code on the tires.

[@adammoore7994]

ALet338 So how did you have the scientist explain in in your video?

[@leadcloud]

Adam Moore in not sure what youre asking?

[@johnlemon252]

He does that with every expert he talks to. They explain off camera and he summarizes. I can see the contradiction in how he said that she'd explain it and then she didn't, but it's a simple mistake with him forgetting the style of his own videos for a second. No big, really.

[@AminAmin-wl7hj]

+Miguel Valdez lol

[@katelikesrectangles]

+Miguel Almeida Everything is interesting!!

[@mckennaConfig]

Drilling is incredibly interesting. The mechanical processes and designing for drilling all depends on what you are trying to do. Pulverizing the rock is perfect for analyzing the chemistry make up of the rock AND it happens to be the easiest way to but a hole in rock. But if you want to analyze the lithology and the geologic processes or drill a deeper hole, this method is insufficient.

[@AminAmin-wl7hj]

+Kirt McKenna oh wow, really?

[@Time2Warp]

+Miguel Almeida Actually, it was really boring. ba dum tsh

[@Ontheroad13]

I just got into your channel and I've been going through some of your older videos. This episode, for some reason, was one of the most facinating things I've watched in a while. I'm currently pursing my Engineering degree, haven't decided between Mechanical or something else. This makes me want to work in Space/Aerospace.

[@Teth47]

It is amazing how complex we can make a procedure as simple as drilling into a rock. It actually, legitimately is. I want to meet the guy that designed that procedure, it's a thing of beauty and he needs more recognition.

[@Niosus]

+Teth47 It's an incredibly ingenious solution. It's a drill-meets-vacuum-cleaner with barely any moving parts that can go without maintenance for a really long time. By using gravity and the shaking of the drill (which is needed for drilling anyway) to move the dust around, you can pretty much guarantee that it cannot break down. If you can drill, you can move the dust around. It's such an elegant solution when you take a closer look.

[@Niosus]

chris ce Finding a simple solution for a complicated problem, that's the hard part. Care to elaborate how you would improve on it?

[@acassiopeia6439]

HOLY FRENCH TOAST i thought the rover was alot smaller

[@Perforator2000]

Yea, that was one of the major achievements of the Curiosity mission; landing a 2000 lb car-sized robotic vehicle on another planet, the biggest ever. I watched the stream of the landing from JPL. It was one of the most exciting things I've ever seen.

[@idonolmao]

oh yea didnt some guy working there get in trouble for a shirt he wore

[@Perforator2000]

[@svetievboris]

[@Aphletic]

+Boris Svetiev It was his clever way of showing you the channel that has those videos in case you didn't notice.

[@xXTHELEECHXx]

If you could clarify for me a little further. How do you get the dust to go up the drill? I understand the process of using gravity to transfer the sample but how do you get the dust to go up into the "chamber"? Thanks!!

[@rkinnett]

+xXTHELEECHXx good question, sorry that wasn't clear. At 7:16 you can see that the bit shaft is "fluted" - see the spiral inclined plane that looks similar to a normal wood cutting bit? Unlike a wood bit, these flutes are not sharp for cutting, rather they're for auguring the powder up through the stem and into the first chamber.

[@xXTHELEECHXx]

+Ryan Kinnett Okay I see it now. So i.e. we have a normal drill bit pulling out wood from the hole in a wooden block but in this process instead we have the dust being pulled up into the first chamber! Am I correct?

[@rkinnett]

+xXTHELEECHXx Yeah, that's right. Cheers

[@smartereveryday]

+xXTHELEECHXx In case you didn't realize it.... that's Ryan from the video. The man in charge of drilling holes on another planet just answered your question.

[@ryanz7689]

+briansmobile1 ok wonderful I was just complimenting the channel and all the things he gets to do. I wasn't saying he is a lazy slob. So way to take a good comment and ruin it.

[@markbell9742]

Well I think both *‘briansmobile1’* and *‘Ryan Z’* got it right in different ways. Lucky events can fall upon one from time to time out of the blue. Though the most rewarding of ‘lucks’ can be those you make for yourself and there is a definition of this kind of luck: “When Preparation Meets Opportunity”. But these self-made ‘lucks’ are different for everyone in degree and path. My path was geology and it took me to many amazing locations and I saw fundamental and awe-inspiring examples of the geologic processes of the Earth. And when I’m in one of my grandiose moods I feel I can grasp the workings of the Earth in toto. However, the reality is that I really don’t know enough to know what I don’t know. And, although I consider myself lucky to be alive and to have done and seen the things I have, I can’t do everything, and so I do envy (think they are lucky) those who have also made their own ‘lucks’ along some different, interesting, fun, path. I have lived through the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo eras and I regret not witnessing, and envy thoughts who did, a Saturn V launch. Finally, I think this is why we watch these types of KZbin videos; to vicariously experience the different self-made ‘lucks’ of these individuals and to share in their joy. I certainly did when Destin did his over-head-arm monkey dance after his hokey pokey ditty. Cheers, Mark ********************************

[@Internetspaceships]

So whats the drillbit made of? Tungsten Carbide? Diamond? Nokia 3210?

[@rkinnett]

+Internetspaceships The tip of the bit is tungsten carbide. In hardness, it's somewhere between the Nokia and diamond ;)

[@VideoOlympics]

+Internetspaceships Nokia XD the old phone that always could.

[@TheStarkest]

+Video Olympics when things are too strong to break, its always made up of nokia 3210

[@JohnWilliams-km4hx]

+Ryan Kinnett I imagine much debate went into the drill-bit design characteristics...with an emphasis on weight, and tungsten is heavy. Is the bit itself (cutting tip only): SOLID carbide? ...because to me, it looks just like a masonry bit for concrete but at such a weight cost! I'm sure plating atop lighter, yet stiff materials was also an option for a cutting edge...(I sure would have liked to be a fly on the wall during that phase of design discussion)

He confirmed soggy soil which is water but just moisture. We are currently on the hunt for standing liquid water. We know for sure that the planet mars has H20 in some forms at the surface and we have known that for a while, even in 2008 the Phoenix lander took pictures of snow falling from clouds about 5km above the surface but the snow evaporated before it hit the ground, which is called virga.

[@andrewawf9889]

This answered the same question I have had for a while about how samples are obtained but never really persued an answer to. I nerd out on what makes things tick in general and the combination of simple processes that we use in our lives working together to achieve end results for a sample was a bit unexpected I must say. I thought it would involve some complex setup with sensors right near or on the drill itself but so much could go wrong with that approach. Keeping it simple is far more reliable especially being so far away once in operation. Your channel has some great topics featured and I'm working on watching prior videos as it is far more entertaining than regular TV.

Thank you! FINALLY! That was the most interesting intelligent discussion I've heard all year.

[@deezynar]

You can see this earthbound rover out in the yard on Google Earth if you look at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The rover is located in the dirt area at the northeastern side of the campus. The rover is a white rectangle just left of a smallish building with a tan roof. That building is the one in the video that the rover is kept in. If you zoom in on the rover you can see the 6 wheels.

[@1997daan]

It's blurred though

[@deezynar]

+Daan de Jong Blurred compared to what? It's a photo taken from a satellite that's in orbit over four hundred kilometers up. Did you expect clarity like a wedding photographer would get at 3 meters? I found it very exciting that the satellite got a shot with the rover outside! What are the odds of that happening?

[@1997daan]

No of course not. I know how a satellite works -,-. Its blurred compared to the surrounding area, perhaps it is blurred by purpose, like they do at military basis. Perhaps Google shows me different pictures because I'm in another country or something.

[@StalePhish]

+Daan de Jong Could you provide a screenshot? I'm looking at it right now and it's not blurred. I can clearly see all 6 wheels and even the glare from the sun off of them. I can also very clearly see a blue sedan and a white pickup truck in the road next to it. So clearly in fact that you can see a bed extender in the back of the truck

DUDE!! I can't believe this video is over four and a half years old, and this is the first time I've seen it! haha! Epic. Love your videos, brother.

[@saulo5216]

yes

"I'm going to let Megan explain".... Proceeds to talk himself instead.

[@bumblebeebob]

I just found this video 3 yrs and 3 months late. How can there possibly be 926 dislikes?! This is one of the most interesting Smarter Every Day episodes! And that's saying something! Thanks Destin!

[@j1bone]

This was a fantastic video. Thoroughly enjoyed.

[@sffpv9671]

Totally awesome video. I love drills and I love technology, space and exploration!! thanks for sharing such a cool place!

[@llathrum]

Fasinating ! ! My new favorite channel I love learning new things

[@roar40s]

Better not to do any learning watching this video.

[@llathrum]

@@roar40s why? Science is about research, asking questions, exploring and testing ideas

[@PedroHenrique-it1kz]

10 minutes is not enough! You can make 1 hour about anything, and it will still be awesome.

[@ArtistryBranson]

Destin, you are so severely funny! I'm hooked on your channel; every episode is excellent. But this one? Yeah. Tops. Well done, amigo, and God bless!

[@calebbrown6858]

Thanks Mr. D and Ms. Meagan, Mr. MRober, and all. Keep it strong and super!

[@oslaneable]

Thank you for making science exciting. I like that I can watch your shows with my son.

[@windyhillfoundry5940]

[@LillianWinterAnimations]

"A movie that you've probably already watched, if you're sitting here watching a 10 minute video about drilling on mars." Well.. fair enough.

[@brigitte2348]

I never thought I would enjoy a 10 minutes video as much as I enjoyed this one. It was even too short for me. TY

[@brigitte2348]

10 minutes on a drill bit. I did geeked out too.

[@AppliedScience]

Great episode, Destin! I wondered about the drilling and sample analysis on mars as you did. Thanks!

[@SolidMikeP]

[@AudoricArt]

[@azizipg2]

I wonder what those engineer feels like when someone geek out about their invention like we see here. This is so wholesome & awesome able to learn a something that so extraordinary & remarkable. Thank you!

[@chemicalmike646]

Adding the colour to the parts helped a lot for the explanation. good idea :D

[@DudeNamedBetty]

[@grahamrich9956]

... Was that 1:1 scale? That's big.

[@RobertGrndahlWinther]

Yep, that's how big it is.

[@grahamrich9956]

[@Pluckaiy]

The ”YEEESSSSSS!” At the end

[@mrgalaxy8339]

Who remembers when GMM went to the mars yard?

[@reshahasan4660]

+MrGalaxy meee

[@andrewlam5875]

I was going to say that! Yeah but they weren't permitted to see/touch/get close to the rover because they aren't really trusted. 😔
