Watch NASA land the Perseverance Rover on Mars!

NASA will be attempting to land the #Perseverance Mars Rover and Ingenuity Helicopter on the surface of Mars! This is the biggest and most sophisticated rover anyone has ever landed on the surface of Mars.

After a 7-month long journey spanning 497 million km, Perseverance will land at Jezero Crater. It's a sibling to Curiosity, featuring a large drill and a soil caching system, upgraded wheels and cameras, and even an experiment that will make oxygen on the surface of Mars!

Hearing "touchdown confirmed" is so exciting

1:27:14 Tim: "Someone's getting emotional on air."
Surprisingly, it's not Tim.

im 14 years old you have inspired me i've been watching you for over a year now i want to be an astronaut

[glennrmarks]

I am a huge fan of your "documentaries", they never seem very long which means they have me riveted for every second and the time flies. You do such a great job of explaining things in terms that ordinary people can understand.

And that my friends, is how it’s done. Landing on Mars is no simple thing. Absolutely fantastic job, perfect landing. Well done JPL!

[DigitalNomadOnFIRE]

NASA have done a great design making Mission Control look far more modern and sleek

[josha]

Average person: It’s going really fast!
Tim: It’s absolutely screaming!

Is NASA morphing into a kind of Spacex culture and/or approach to these live broadcasts? This was much better than any live video so far. It's nice to see so many people being excited about this kind of stuff. Thank you Tim for another awesome live stream. If you have ever thought about donating to a person on youtube, you could not find a better person to donate to than him. He obviously loves what he does, makes great videos, and he travels across America sometimes to do live streams of rocket launches which I'm sure costs a good amount of money. So please consider donating to Everyday Astronaut. Take care everyone and have a great day.

It is insane to think that there are robots just chilling on another planet.

I've been watching these every 8 to 9 years since Sojourner in 1996.

[whatthef]

When Sojourner landed in 1996, NASA was predicting a sample return by 2005 which was difficult to believe it could take so much time before that mission.

[Jutilaje]

Kinda cool to think at the ~ L-8:00 mark, the rover has hit the surface of marks, and the signal telling the team whether it was a successful landing is literally en route to them, flying through space at the speed of light.

[logner]

Dear Timothy,

Dost thou know the precise timing of the release of the landing footage?

[hasanusman]

why don't they attach wheels to the sky crane and make it another rover which could communicate with with Preservarance Rover ? it could make remote eyes and ears to the main rover

[Joecool]

The great thing about the 11 Minute Delay, is that it is relative.
According to some inertial perspectives there basically is no delay.

I THINK...NO, I KNOW, MY "SPACE BROTHER" AND SEVERAL OTHER FRIENDS OF MINE, THAT YOU ARE KEWL AND FRAK'N ALWAYS LOVE YOUR I, PERSONALLY ESPECIALLY LEARN FROM, ENJOY AND, EDUCATE MYSELF THE ONES THAT ARE IN DETAIL AND SPECIFICALLY FEATURE ROCKET ENGINES LIKE NOZZEL AND I HAVE BEEN TAKING ONLINE COLLEGE COURSES; I MAJOR IN, "SPACE STUDIES" AND "PHILOSOPHY. MY MAIN GOAL IS TO HOWEVER, EARN MY DEGREE IN, "SPACE I'M A BABY ROCKET SCIENTIST AS I LOVE TO SAY.
