How Perseverance will Kickstart SpaceX's Starship Mars Plan

Mars 2020's objective is to conduct further scientific exploration of the Martian surface and examine the potential for future human missions to the red planet using the Perseverance Rover and it's Ingenuity Drone. Meanwhile, SpaceX continues their rapid development of Starship, its fully reusable spaceship system capable of interplanetary spaceflight, with the goal of creating self-sustaining settlements on Mars.

Everybody gangsta until the martians decide to send a science mission back

Two seemingly unrelated topics which I assumed was click bait, I was surprised to see that this was a very well thought out video that made a lot of sense. Great job!

It's all fun and games untill the aliens figure out how to read those plaques and then they know exactly where we are.

Everybody gangsta until they see a footprint

They could send a couple starships each loaded with a bunch of GPS satellites sort of like what they are doing with Starlink here. Could be combo GPS and comms satellites.

Hey TJ, awesome video as usual.

I love the way you prepare and present your videos, not just the last minute or the latest ring of starship being welded, but thoughtful, interesting, technical, yet perfectly understandable content.

I find myself rewinding and watching again sections even full videos to take full advantage of such well prepared content.

As much as I’d like to see more content coming from you, I hope you stay away from the money making only goal of posting for the sake of it.

Keep up and all the best.

I feel like there are constant news about space and new things happening in space and the mars mission these days, from updates on spaceX to this. Great content! Remember just a few years ago I barely heard about stuff like this ever. Maybe its the algorythm but I feel like more is happening. Excited to see new mars missions and when spacex land their first spaceship on mars! :)

Perseverance: drills martian ground and black liquid spills out

USA: *HURRY NASA AND TAKE MY MILITARY BUDGET, OIL IS DISCOVERED*

How in elon musk did my cringe comment got likes

[beachboardfan]

Super excited for the helicopter!

Lol at the self comment at the end 😆

Well explained and illustrated.
I'm hoping to learn about current plans and any future plans for radiation shielding on both spaceships in space, and shielding on bases on Mars and the Moon. You seem to put it all together much better than most other channels here on YouTube.
Thanks in advance.

"I just thought this was beautiful, and wanted to take a moment to appreciate this gesture" BAM, AD!

[smartgeocaching]

Will curiosity watch the landing of perseverence with its camera? That would be cool :-)

[bazoo]

A very good overview.
NASA's mission, after all, is to provide basic research that commercial entities can then develop.

[GrannyBender]

"Our new camera can now zoom in"

It both sounds ridiculous, impressive and exciting at the same time.

[Andrew-kzew]

It’s funny how much of this is seen in Surviving Mars.

[Aedumz]

Thanks for letting me do some of the cinematic work! Fantastic video as usual

6:40 says that the entry speed is high because getting to Mars requires a lot of velocity... Yet, while it’s true that it takes a lot of velocity to get into a Mars transfer orbit from Earth, that’s NOT what leads to high entry speed. When a probe reaches Mars, much of its initial kinetic energy has been converted to gravitational potential energy, and it is actually traveling at a much SLOWER speed than Mars is. The probe would need to gain a lot of additional speed to circularize its orbit to match that of Mars. It’s the velocity difference between the fast-moving Mars and the slower-moving probe that leads to a high relative velocity that needs to be burned off as the probe enters the Martian atmosphere.

[MartianWolf]

Awesome Video! Excellent job of connecting two separate programs, that are ultimately answering a lot of the same questions!

Really informative. It's exciting watching SpaceX develop the starship and I'm looking forward to what the Mars missions could bring. Subscribed
