I helped assemble and test the sample handling arm. Super cool feeling, hope it makes it to Mars!

This is why nasa needs more funding. Imagine what they could do with the military’s funding. We’d be decades ahead in technology!

Hey Tim u are like my real mentor.
You inspired me to study real hard in 10th to get science and I really want to join ISRO (Indian space research organisation) after college.
Thank you for Bringing down space on earth

Who’s here after perseverance safely landed on mars

[daltonduncan]

They need to send a centipede or Boston Dynamics "dog" to explore caves on Mars on the next rover. If they sent Spot, they could call the rover "Rover".

[Dromfel]

the name of the crater "jezero" means literally "lake" in many slavic languages :) just a side note.

I remember Spirit and Opportunity landing in 2004 and I even remember Pathfinder when it was active on Mars 23years ago.

Just finished watching this. Excellent, coherent, timely presentation about Curiosity vs. Perseverance. I guess I’m going to have to become a Patreon, because the world needs to understand rocket science...and you do a good—no, great—job explaining things. Bravo.

Perseverance has successfully landed on Mars!!! Her first images are beautiful.

When I heard you talking about this on OLF, I didn’t think you meant that soon! Getting more and more high quality👍

Flat earthers: “perseverance is a paid actor”

Does perseverance sing “Happy Birthday” like Curiosity?
Edit : Question Mark

[Ekstrax]

My favourite thing to look forward to right now is the feel of relief when Perseverance lands safely!

I cant express how fundamentally changing having the first real footage and real time sound of another planet will be.
