11+ Years of Mars Roving in 8 Minutes

This is cool.
I didn't see any Aliens or Alien houses though




Kinda makes me proud.

Let us not forget the fallen.

a reply to: boymonkey74 And i've always wanted to see an alien house

a reply to: Phage aww..that's sad.

a reply to: Phage

Oh noes I feel rotten for the likkle bleeder now

a reply to: boymonkey74
Just be glad you aren't the one who sent the last command.

a reply to: boymonkey74 I am always awestruck by these videos. I lived to a day where I could just watch a video taken by a little vehicle roving around Mars. Aliens or alien houses or not.

a reply to: Phage

Maybe one day he will be rescued and given a parade .

a reply to: boymonkey74
No. Spirit belongs on Mars.

a reply to: reldra

I know I just watched it again and added this music to it.




Kinda odd but the little dude has sort of got a personality in the way he moves, you can kinda add your own voice to his.

"Oooo thats a pretty rocks lets have a look over there!"
and
Singing

"Digging in mars! diiiiiggging on mars" when he is digging.

What a hero!.

a reply to: Phage

I meant when we are on Mars.

a reply to: reldra

I think we would learn more about Aliens from where they live then how they get to work .

a reply to: boymonkey74

Well, all righty then.
But I fear that by the time there are parades on Mars it would be a bit on the morbid side to parade her around. Even if she is a machine.

a reply to: boymonkey74 LOL, nice

Ok, not entirely sure where NADA got yhis 11years from but wiki says
the 2nd rover was launched in 2012...since the 1st one blunced and was upside down if i remember right...but anyways ...i thought this was comical when i saw it
....i wounder who took the picture of the rover on mars? Lol

Can't argue with you there. Didn't see anything in 11 years that would have made this whole charade worth it. That could easily be 11 years of filming some spot on Earth and that revelation wouldn't surprise me at all.

It is 11 years wiki is wrong.

I think you are getting mixed up.

Two rovers that were part of the Mars Exploration Rover Mission landed and deployed successfully in 2004. They were twin rovers named Spirit and Opportunity. They both had a nominal mission that was designed to last 90 days, although it was thought they could go longer if their solar panels did not get too dusty.

Spirit roved Mars for more than six years before getting irretrievably stuck in some sand. Opportunity is still roving today, more than 11 years later.

A different rover landed in 2012 -- the Mars Science Laboratory "Curiosity" Rover

Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity - Wikipedia


As for "landing upside-down", the Mars Exploration Rover landing craft opened in such a way that it would upright itself when the landing craft's panels opened.

That is the rover named "Sojourner" that landed on Mars in 1997 as part of the Mars Pathfinder Mission. That image was taken from the landing craft that carried Sojourner to mars.

Here is a better image, showing a part of the lander portion of the craft.

So that makes four rovers successfully sent to Mars by NASA since 1997 (Sojourner, Spirit and Opportunity, and Curiosity).

Does it? Where?

That photo was taken by the lander (Pathfinder), that rover (Sojourner) didn't have a camera.

Edited to add that I see Soylent Green Is People had already explained the situation (and better than I), that's what happens when I open a thread and don't refresh for a long time.
