NASA Rover on Course for Mars Landing

With less than three weeks to the scheduled landing of the Curiosity rover on the Red Planet, leaders of Mars Science Laboratory team field questions form media about the mission, the most difficult ever undertaken in the history of interplanetary robotic exploration.

I wish all nasa videos were in this quality! awesome!

[DarkSmith]

Just so amazing!! I've just read Everything about the Rover. Unfortunately I'm having Electrical engineering exams at this time...

[lunhil]

I hope all goes well with the landing, it's the most complicated and ambitious procedure yet attempted. If all goes as planned it will be an astounding feat these engineers have achieved.

[onjofilms]

Yeah, like a good I Love Lucy show like we sent them :)

[blazindragon]

wow i hope everything works out. btw the granddaughter Danielle is very pretty.

Me from 🇹🇷
I whact 2020
I love space
our country has developed a lot but unfortunately it is not interested in space but i still love our country so much i don't like america but i am following you with my heart

Exploring Mars, the Solar system and the universe is spending it on life on Earth.

[onjofilms]

If this works it will be an incredible engineering feat. It's also an example of what happens when you leave engineers to devise a way of dropping a golf cart on another planet. Seems like the big bouncing balloons of of the other rovers was simpler, but who knows.

[onjofilms]

Okay, at 43 or 45 they stated the balloons was at a limit for the weight.

doctor john kinda looks like the guy from distric 9

17:33 Why does MSL whiz by the camera where there is no atmosphere to transmit sound? =3

[ragefanjr]

cool stuff. Just don't go to Rekall.

[JezaGooner]

or if SETI comes across something in the mean time :)

[bubblinbrownsugar]

Not doing enough?! More exploration?! Are you talking more human exploration because they got like 50+ missions getting prepared to work, already working, cruising to its destination, extended from it's initial expiration, or already completed their tasks. I'm not familiar with ESA and JAXA, but I'm pretty sure they have their bunch of exploration missions as well.

[CenyddRos]

I like the commercial plug beginning at 24:00 - not. :( WTF

[ralfrene]

Why Curiosity is not on Mars?
1.1 year has passed, not shown online video to have a
2Mbit/s modem 400-437MHz.
2. all images are made by 2 Mp camera-photographs of
poor quality.
3. in the orbit of Mars started MRO, RF modem 100W,
6Mbit/s-just one file made by optics HiRAISE is 5 GB
(!), TIFF, 300 km-30sm (1 pixel).
4. the staff of NASA does not allow users to see the
originals of photographs made by MRO.

[xDrikenx]

for me its kinda hard to believe but its true

[BonScottAC]

don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash don't crash

[silvereagle]

they should have included Viking's 1 and 2. Bad move.

[jayscorfield]

IF i had billions in bank id freaking found NASA all the way..
