ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organization, is the national space agency of India.

I did not say "Israel."

LOL YouTube put a 'human induced climate change' flag on your Mars exploration video. Priceless.

Pathfinder bouncing across mars would've been hilarious to see in person as a martian.

As part of the New Jersey General Electric team that decoded the final temperature telemetry for the mars spacecraft that exploded propellant lines around Mars, we saw some pretty high temperatures. It turns out that O-ring seals for valves normally opened after launch allowed fuel and/or oxidizer to pass through the O-rings into the feed lines for the thrusters over the course of the interplanetary trip. It was a communications satellite bus pressed into service as a Mars orbiter. Our Denver branch mixed up the english and metric units. Thanks for the retrospective. Extremely well done.

I love when space YouTubers make long form videos. It’s my favorite kind of video on the platform! Thank you for the hard work!

A "Brief" history of Mars

Opens video - ~1 hr 45 min.

That's the undersell of the year in my book. I am going to have to break it into a couple viewing sessions but it's great so far. But then again, I expect nothing less. Your content is always top notch; all the facts and nothing but the facts.

And now I’m mourning the loss of Opportunity again. 😢 Rest easy, friend.

42:40 "This is maybe the most frustrating failure in the history of spaceflight."

1:14:25 I remember when I first saw the sky crane concept and thought “there’s no way this is going to work”… I was never so glad to have been wrong 😉

Thanks! - what a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon, the work that must have gone into this beggers belief - thank you

This was most certainly worth the wait!

What's next? The history of asteroid and comet exploration?

I've volunteerd on a JPL-project at Zooniverse to help building an AI-model which should assist the next rovers with autonomously driving on Mars. Getting images to classify with parts of Perseverance and Curiosity in high detail is very interesting, made me appreciate everyone behind these incredible projects even more!

Our work increased the accuracy from 41% to 91%, can't wait to see these next generations of rovers in action.

I was quite unfamiliar with Mars exploration in the 60s and 70s. Thank you for this informative video!

Currently listening to this while part of a sailing crew crossing the Mediterranean. One, thanks to starlink. Two, makes me think about what future crews crossing the sea of space between Earth and Mars will endure.

One of my earliest memories is going to my grandma's house for the 4th of July party in 1997, watching the landing coverage of Mars Pathfinder.

This video is FANTASTIC! Thank you Kevin, for all you do! I learned so much, as I always do from you!

[DaveHanson]

Thank you for this very comprehensive history of our exploration of Mars. I've been fascinated by the Red Planet since I was a kid, mainly because I have a personal connection to one of NASA's programs - my grandfather worked on the Viking project. In fact, I think he was responsible for my very early interest in science and space.

Hey, small update to your video! Recently today an InSight lander experiment got reviewed and published and showed evidence of liquid water under the surface of mars.
Great video!

[NileMcMillion]

Perfect for falling asleep to! 😅 I'm going to have to listen to this at work with a fresh Red Bull in me, but I promise I will finish it! Great work!

@DKiSAerospaceHistory this is an SUPERB video. Congratulations to you on releasing such a masterpiece!
