15 Months On Mars: We Found Eerie Spacecraft Wreckage

In this episode, the Ingenuity helicopter discovers spacecraft wreckage before losing contact with the Perseverance rover. Meanwhile, the rover observes interesting rock formations, spots a bright object, and approaches the delta face. Perseverance's journey includes breaking records for distance traveled in one day and capturing the highest definition observation of a Martian solar eclipse. Ingenuity re-establishes communication with the rover and continues to provide valuable data for scientists. Perseverance starts its ascent of "Hawksbill Gap", the most challenging terrain yet.

We haven't even stepped foot on that planet yet and already see pictures of our trash laying around.

The rover can think while driving ! Makes it better than 80% of drivers back on earth .

Title is very misleading, there was NO eerie spacecraft wreckage found ! Another con to get more views

Im obsessed with the images of the Mars landscape..they look somehow alien but also familiar at the same time. I adore the fact that NASA treats these robots as if they are truly alive, the letter between them is so adorable and it really hammers in how awesome these little guys are. They are billions of miles away from home, but are still connected to us through an emotional link that, even though they might not feel it as we do, it still ties us to them.

Isn't it amazing how we get to see pictures like these with such clarity, but when it comes to UFO's all they give us is grainy, foggy, black and white night vision, ect!

Sorry about that guys, had to make a small edit to the video after uploading. YouTube takes ages to re-process an already uploaded video for some reason.
Edit: Seems the edit hasn't registered yet and will take a few hours, so I've gone ahead and published as I know a lot of you were watching it. So just ignore the glitch at around 5:00 for now.

Hope you enjoy the episode! If you'd like to join the patreon community the link is here:


It's really appreciated and helps us to keep going with the series.

The 13 year old that constantly lives within my 53 year old brain is amazed that he finally gets to see the surface of another planet! And in such amazing clarity!

What could be cooler than living on one planet and being able to watch a video of another planet in high resolution like you were there? All people reading this, need to pause for a few seconds and think about how lucky we are, to live in a time were this is now possible. We all should appreciate this and not just take it for granted. I will always love and support space exploration. This is very cool to watch.

"The rover's advanced self driving technology allows it to think while driving." I think that's awesome, now if only some humans can start doing that.

I remember the excitement at seeing Viking's first image of the martian surface c1976. To see so many superb images just 46 years later! It's breathtaking. Thanks for the post. :)

This is better then anything I ever seen on TV in 60 years of my life I stopped watching TV 20 years ago I couldn't take it anymore then I found YouTube when it first came out been here ever since because I find awesome content like this.

I really liked the part where the little moon eclipsed the sun. You mentioned how data from that can help you learn more about the planet itself. I must salute all the engineers, mathematicians and all of you. My first time watching this- I didn’t even know what a sol was! Love having a different perspective of the red dot from our pale blue dot.

This is an awesome series! Thanks for doing this. Subscribed.

It’s incredible to see an alien world in such detail and imagine the utter desolation and silence and that (maybe) nothing has ever lived there for millions of years. Amazing images.

[DerBingle]

What ever happened to the Cannals of Mars? You don't hear about them anymore. Those were a big deal to us kids back in the 50s.

[felixmadison]

I love this kinda stuff! It just boggles the mind to think what's ahead for our children with regard to space exploration. It's so damn exiting!

[garymckee]

I like how some of the cables are secured with lacing tape.

[skiptaggart]

Perseverance is an extraordinary technical accomplishment. Well done to all who made it possible!

[Woodman-Spare-that-tree]

It’s only eerie if the spacecraft it fell from wasn’t one of ours.
