27 Months On Mars: Flying Over A Mars Rover!

  • In this episode, Perseverance and Ingenuity make significant discoveries on the Martian delta. Perseverance is occupied with depositing samples for future collection and discovering intriguing substances, while Ingenuity conducts several breathtaking flights over the delta, providing impressive color images.
    One of the most notable parts of the episode is when both explorers make their way up the delta through Hawksbill Gap, leading to the discovery of a formation named 'Pinestand.' This feature challenges our understanding of Martian hydrology, as it suggests the existence of an ancient river, larger and faster than any other water system discovered on Mars, flowing into Jezero crater.
    The evidence presented in this episode is groundbreaking, demonstrating the scale of water systems on ancient Mars, perhaps rivaling Earth's Mississippi River. This discovery, alongside the visible remnants of what are believed to be sand bars, strongly supports the theory that Mars was once a wet planet.
    On Sol 724, plans for a meeting between Perseverance and Ingenuity are revealed, leading to a record-breaking drive by the rover on Sol 728 to witness another flight of Ingenuity. Amidst these achievements, the loss of the rover's hitchhiking pet rock, a small stone that had lodged in the wheel and traveled along for a year, is notably mourned.
    Despite minor communication issues due to hilly terrain, Perseverance reaches the Belva crater on Sol 772, and the episode concludes with Ingenuity capturing an image of the rover observing the crater from a distance.

    Hello fellow Mars Pioneers,
    This episode has been a thrill to document! It's not everyday we get discoveries like this on Mars. We've been saying it for years now, Mars had water! Lots of water! Thanks for being a part of this journey with us, and thanks for all your wonderful messages of support.

    I'd just like to say how grateful I am for all of your support, positive comments, likes, shares and subscribes. We have a great community of like-minded explorers. Too young to explore the Earth, too old to explore the galaxy, but just the right age to explore Mars through theses incredible missions!

      I am just so amazed that that little helicopter is still going strong- given that they didn't even know if it could flay at all in such a thin atmosphere- Thanks for these updates, they are concise and really interesting and are my goto info on the Mars Rover mission, rather than troll through all the non useful content on other sites. Keep up the good work.

      Mars is a dead planet. There is nothing except a secret underground Gray base, a hangar for flying saucer ships. I took my son inside this base. There are more than 50 robots inside. The internal scanner system detected my son's presence as a heat spot. He came out like a bolt of lightning. It was only weeks later that the Grays identified that it was my son, and came after him with 3 ships. The Grays even scanned my son's brain. I took my son to the planet Venus, he saw the big and beautiful golden city of Venus with its majestic population. I can take a person to any planet in the solar system.

    Humans are such interesting creatures, I realized just now, when I found myself feeling sad about the pet rock's journey finally ending. I was out here really just personifying and getting attached to a martian rock so far away from me that I can't fully even comprehend the scale- just because it sat in tye wheel of a rover for so long that many people including myself started to see it almost as an unexpected companion rather than just a mildly inconvenient but overall harmless hitchhiker. It's kind of similar to how we have such a strong urge to pet everything with fur that moves, even if it could snap our bones in half with one bite. I imagine aliens probably would find these things both interesting, but also mildly horrifying because of how we could end up endangering ourselves just to boop a lion or something.

      Plot twist: the pet rock will consider itself a member of the first nation and will sue Perserverance aka Columbus, so I hope the robot crushes the pet rock with its tank wheels before taking off leaving no evidence.

      Could make sense, maybe as mars’ core cooled, just before it’s magnetosphere became too weak to keep water in liquid form, it had a small ice age before then rapidly heating up from the shrinking magnetosphere

    When the rock had made its way into the wheel of the rover, I was a bit annoyed and hoped that it would fall off soon. But now, I genuinely feel bad when it fell off due to sand. I really miss it lol. Its kinda funny that how humans can get attached to non-living entities and show feelings for it.

    @testfire3000 Před 7 měsíci +1

    This is a question for anybody. Even if we don't know the answer it is something to think about.
    At 2:20 we discuss the "Pine Stand" rock formation that looks like it was created by flowing water and it poses the question as to how can it be so high? (Sol 718). At 2:56 we discuss the "Sprinkle haven" feature, also created by flowing water (Sol 721). Now compare 7:56 when Perseverance has made it to the edge of Belva Crater (Sol 772) and we can see what appears to be similar banded rock on the far side.
    So here is my question about all this. Timing. When do we believe the impact event occurred which created Belva Crater, relative to the flowing water? That is, had the massive water flow already been dried up for millions of years when the impact took place? If so, might that explain Pine Stand, if it was uplifted by force of the event? That seems to me to be the order of events as it would explain why the trail of water is separated by the crater. It would be interesting hear NASA's theories on the age of these events.

    Mars is so interesting and is the only planet other than Earth where humans can live. Wish it was more Earth like. It's a perfectly good location for a life bearing planet but is too small to have a magnetic core for protection from the the Sun's radiation. It's kinda weird as planets usually get larger as their distance from the Sun increases.
