NASA releases video of Perseverance rover’s Mars landing

NASA has revealed remarkable video captured by the Perseverance rover as it touched down on Mars.

The footage shows the rover recording itself landing - the first time the manoeuvre has been seen.

Included in the release was the first audio recorded on the surface of Mars.

People will never understand the engineering and hours taken to get here... A great achievement for mankind...

is this the same set they used for that film with Mat Daemon

Another lie again. Why do they do this?

[jrafanelwardman]

I can't wait to go on holiday to Mars one day

This literally could be any desert on earth. Why would anybody look at this and be convinced this is what they say it is. 2021 and video from space still looks like hot garbage. They should've had a live stream as it was approaching the "planet" so we could see it in all its glory, then continue on to the surface. There is no way to verify this is actually Mars. Fact is, NASA have used images from Greenland and Devon Island and passed them off as images from Mars and thought we wouldn't notice. We did. #wakeupsheeple

By the time people were watching the decent and landing it had already been on the surface of Mars for 4ish minutes.

Jetsons flying around in a utopia.

I wish they’d show a video of it approaching the planet and entering its atmosphere.

[realrapfan]

2021 and stilll we get choppy fake looking

[ABritInThePhilippines]

That was awesome, and I've really enjoyed all the pics and videos from Mars so far... Carl

It's strange how familiar it looks. It's amazing.

[daddydank]

Why it look like tatooine on start wars

[MrGloryglorymanutd]

It's the first time in my life that NASA has gone forward and if given the help they need they will accomplish anything they want imho.

[mberone]

Hate to be a bore but haven't we seen all those images before? I feel I have seen similar images 15 years ago.

[Ogspotlite]

I pray anyone that sees this is successful in life”

[rileyrangers]

History in the making by the way I’m suicidal tho so if I don’t post again I probably be dead by then

It's becoming easier to see that while yes, science is a good friend of humanity, it is not a great friend..

[fyodorseriencha]

Are those even exactly true colours? It looks like cacao, chocolate planet..
We just have to focus our efforts on being able to divert huge asteroids imo
