I feel honoured to be alive when mankind was able to visit and see such sights on another planet....

So that's why blueberries are pricey, they came from mars.

Just wanna add a quick Thank You for all the hard work and research done to create your videos, i highly appreciate the effort although to many of us it's a matter of watching a "YouTube video" and moving on I respect the work being done behind the video in order to deliver accurate information and data. Thank you!

I've always loved science but since I was a kid I always felt I wasn't clever enough to learn and that insecurity made me extremly afraid of maths. Thanks to this channel I've learnt a lot and I've been losing that stupid fear

"Opportunity had the Opportunity" way to go Astrum!

Very interesting overview. I followed Opportunity day by day on NASA's website, but missed out on science results published separately often much later. Your overview puts it all in context. Thanks.

It would be amusing to learn that the blueberries were some from of life, or even the fossilized remains of life.

When I was a kid back in the 50's and 60's I used to imagine Martians operating a vast and complex canal system to carry water throughout the planet.

It's great how this guy arrives to create a interesting narrative about a robot in a desert. As Well scientific data is very complete and impressive. Congrats!

Thought you're done with this series, so glad you don't. Oppy is the best out of them all so far and I'm still heartbroken. This is the best way to remember Oppy, learning all we could about the result of its lifework.

You deserve a weekly TV programme, Alex!

[broncoxy]

Really love your videos; they revive the wonder for these missions and all the things that we still don't know... Thanks for the hard work!!

Astronomy in Hawaii needs your support, their is a chance astronomy at the northern hemisphere best window into our universe could be shut down. Please show your support even if you are not Hawaiian. It’s all of our planet and it’s all of our mountain. The Hawaiians say they speak for all Hawaiians but that’s simply not true, let alone all local residents. ImuaTMT

Interesting video! I love your channel thanks for the episode.

[ivorbiggun]

I love your films, Alex. Engaging, tantalising and curiously life-affirming. Thank you for putting so much work in to them.

[isaacx]

Really enjoy your videos. They are rich in information and you present them at highest quality with no Nasa talking heads that sells themselves than the mission. Am sure schools around the world will use them.

[dominikudovicic]

You deserve more subscribers. Every video is golden
