Great job guys! I can’t wait to see the tests results ❤️

[KevinMurphy]

Fantastic achievement. Well done to all involved.

Nice work NASA. An amazing feat. I look forward to all the science/ insights that will be a result in the coming years. Good job all involved!
It's also amazing how many trolls actually take the time to tune in and wacht, and leave comments. :-) . Pretty pathetic to see them wasting their lives and time away, trolling against something they apparently don't have time for as they think this is fake.

ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN...ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND. I SHALL NEVER FORGET THOSE FAMOUS WORDS OF NEAL ARMSTRONG AS HE STEPPED OUT OF THE LUNAR LANDER...NOT BRAGGING ABOUT WHAT AMERICA HAD ACCOMPLISHED BUT SHARING AMERICAS SUCCESS WITH THE WORLD...(KEY WORD...MANKIND)

What if some aliens try to mess up with the vehicle, Did you guys equip it with guns?

[truthsurfer]

What is really happening here? How did they get this through the Van Allen belt? I am having trouble believing this.

[philipbirch]

Why is it that all the people here saying it is fake have bad spelling and grammar? And those who insist its real have good grammar and spelling.?

[jonnydubz]

why couldn't they have video footage of the landing let alone the entry of

The nasa specialist is very nervous explaining the picture like he don’t even know what to say

[adamski]

Believe me you dont want to scroll down. The flat earthiers are at it again.

[AJTLNH]

I might have this wrong but, How long did it take after the landing for the picture to arrive on earth? A few minutes! So NASA are sending data from Mars to Earth at some phenomenal speed ... how?

[scurge]

She should of asked about some of the " OTHER THINGS " Lockheed Martin has

[SEBAS]

Why can't they build the James webb telescope

[Lggs]

Imagine working on this for years and seeing it finally touch down on mars then coming to the comment section and reading people saying it's fake because they watched a conspiracy video on youtube.

[bigearsandnoddy]

Not long now guys & we will be having wars on Mars also😬

[prisonersxpoison]

No matter what we can do we won’t be able to reach to another galaxy

[jknowledgenet]

OmG, I can't believe people can watch this CGI b.s. and think it's real, we supposedly send a satellite to Mars but instead if seeing the actual camera view we get to see the team in the room clap and hug and then get a cgi b.s SpaceX style video. F'N RIDICULOUS

[overtime]

I love nasa.
I think we'll go Mars keke
