That Ingenuity helicopter has to be one of my favorite piece of technology humans have ever made. Talk about getting your money's worth!

04:38 Isn't SpaceX's Starship the largest and most powerful spacecraft in the world?

[alanmcmillan]

The future lies with the use of rotorcrafts. Both on Mars and other planetary endeavours. Rovers are too slow, foŕ exploration, at present. But vital fot ground discoveries. The obvious ability of rotorafts covers gives a broader viewpoint

[stephenfitzgerald]

I really like the helicopter, but what happened to using the derigables?

[POLICECAMERA]

Wow, the Ingenuity 2.0 mission sounds amazing! I wonder what it would be like if there were more detailed analysis of its technology? I also really like science and space research. Sincerely invite you to visit

[ARCENAULT]

I jist got back feom mars...no big deal..texas in summer....IS MARS

[raystevens]

That's why NASA needs to hire SpaceX for all there rockets 🚀 and missions to Mars they can do it at a fraction of the cost and because it's cheaper they probably even do more projects on Mars.

[MaxwellMoore-du]

It Really gets me, That an Helicopter Flown on Mars is not getting the Recognition it deserves. 1st its another Planet its got to have had an awareness of its surroundings. The Input alone is Mind boggling. And I'm not a Computer Expert.

Imagine how many more scientists we would have if they told us what we already know

[Boris_Chang]

Re: the navigation issues: First off, can’t we have smaller and more plentiful rovers? Can’t they put like windshield wipers on the solar panels to clear away dust? And why not have them lay out something like 5G antennae in specific locations and have the rovers and drones use these to navigate?

[Ghosh.ag-ilzc]

Ingen.copter served more than expect'n.The v.2 definitely will show magic to us.As it w'd be powered by A.I.More tech.improved rovers also improve the field of research.I hope solar panels can be protected with newer technologies.But when it will start its journey.We are waiting.

[jonjosenna]

NASA should send a swarm of ingenuities.

[amazeddude]

Regarding your comment about the most powerful spacecraft? Starship has more than twice as much thrust as SLS. Super heavy produces 17 million lbs at launch, and the starship craft, about 3 million.Nov 2, 2023

[johndeskin]

They should build a base station for the ingenuities or for all their automated vehicles/drones, with some simple yet complex robot arms that can perform maintenance and handle small repairs, and the helicopters should be easy to change parts like batteries, sensor housing and blades. Give it a solar panel, that it can extend with the help of a couple more little bots that are tethered to the station, basically an all in one mini-colonization station…. Elon I got your next project bro….

[man_at_the_end_of_time]

Boston Dynamics? If humans go, the vessel should be really large with real levels of radiation shielding and vastly better propulsion. Not tiny pop cans in space like with the old Apollo program.

[Nikki_Baugher]

Cost savings through canceling. Update your info.

[OliverGrumitt]

Mars is a place that can only be explored by robotic spacecraft. Sending people to Mars involves risks so great and the cost so huge that it simply would not be worth it. Elon Musk’s plans for a million people on Mars by 2050 are so fanciful that Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse or other cartoon characters like Dick Dastardly and his dog Mutley stand a far better chance of becoming President of the U.S. than those plans ever becoming reality.
Whether a Mars Sample Return mission will find evidence of past life on Mars must be, at best, considered extremely doubtful. Any life on Mars will be deep underground, well away from the surface, bombarded by radiation from the Sun because the planet has no magnetic field or ozone lsyer.
A MSR mission should not take funds away from other space missions, like the Dragonfly mission to Titan or the proposed probe to orbit the planet Uranus, about which we know far less than about Mars.

[TheStarzzguitar]

Ballons. Blimps. Make it simple. So obvious.

[eligioortiz]

Billions of dollars wasted . Years with out finding nothing but Rocks . It would be better to send a craft to circle the planet in low orbit with high resolution cameras . All these years and nothing but Rocks and more Rocks .
