Goosebump inducing - actual real full-speed color footage of the landing on literally another world, just incredible.

73 years old and I am every bit as fascinated by Mars as I was at seven. This is just phenomenal.

2:56 "Perseverance is safely on the surface of Mars. Ready to begin seeking the sands of past life.""
Anyone else get the nerd-chills?

The chute has binary code inscribed into it, it reads “dare mighty things”
Very very cool NASA.

[Trayxxxx]

I never thought I'd see a day where we would actually record landing on Mars.
Feels like it was only yesterday that we were super stoked of getting good pictures on Mars surface.

Makes you appreciate earth slightly more.

[danewillams]

This is literally years in the making, and then these few minutes to touch down , the most stressful

[mukelorata]

Martian: the UFO has just landed but there’s no sighting of alien lifeforms.

One of the coolest things I've ever seen

My 5th grade teacher brought a tv into the room so we could watch Alan Shepherd in the first Mercury flight. To see this now still gives me goosebumps like it did way back then. Makes an old fart proud.

It still amazes me that we, as a species, are able to pull something like this off, which is basically a bunch of people organizing systems to reach a goal, while here on earth we are unable to organize to reach some of the most basic goals we have as a species. We can drop a car on Mars but we can’t figure out how to live together peacefully, or provide basic needs for everyone. It is impossibly incongruous.

Imagine seeing most people complain about how money is being wasted just for NASA to do space exploration. This is amazing to see, technology really did improve.

[marisasail]

I was born and lived in the Fla Keys when the space capsules would “splash down”. So much innovation and spectacular lift offs and landings since then. But this brought tears to my eyes, it is just nothing short of amazing! Congrats to all the smart, hardworking folks at NASA and support companies.

Imagine what more we can achieve without politics and war

[grvs]

The name make sense after 2020.... Perseverance shows the humanitys will to go beyond their limits even when its chaos all around hats off to the NASA Perseverance crew, wish them success and good health.

[TheWorld_]

That is so unbelievably beautiful.
We are still so primitive in some ways, but thanks to a giant team of brilliant people, we can fly to distant lands and explore.

[Studderzify]

I'm tearing up watching this amazing achievement

[MY-rlhu]

Imagine what humanity will accomplish in another 100 years...

[SphericalGaming]

The new age of space exploration and we are living in it. Goosebumps
