The Insane Engineering of the Perseverance Rover

The response to this video has been huge. One of our biggest videos ever. We worked our ass off on these animations. Big shout out to Mike and Eli, our stellar animators. Also big thanks to Curiosity Stream, without them we simple would not have the budget to make something this ambitious. If you liked this video, you will love that Armstrong documentary on CS. It gives me some serious goals to work towards. Packed with information and beautiful story telling.

The tech in these is really cool.

Engineeer myself and Tbh just been having a shitty day, feeling like everything is pointless and that I can’t do shit. But things like this are just amazing we are doing stuff like this.

Currently nearly done studying (and some stupid bureaucracy things been holding me back for a while now… should have graduated already)
Hope I can work for some company that I actually have some passion for. Things like these nasa projects would be incredible to work on (ofc unluckily to start with that but there is plenty of other cool stuff too)

You need to learn a new word. Nothing you call insane is actually insane. Buy a thesaurus!

RIP Ingenuity. Your wings may be clipped, but your science will bring us to new heights.

I used to work in the US nuclear complex and I remember there being discussions that a very real downside to nuclear arms limitations is that the US is rapidly running out of Pu-238. It may be extremely difficult to develop RTGs in the future because we simply aren't reprocessing nearly as much nuclear material as we used to.

So now we know that it's not Mars but Mers.

I wonder if the helicopter is perseverance baby

i want a built in plitonium generator as well so i never have to charge my car again

The real video of those landing rockets did not show anything visible coming out of them during landing.

The Perseverance Rover successfully landed on Mars.

Let me guess - the narrator is from County Kerry (or somewhere south of Limerick at least), but has been living in Dublin for some time.
The Closed Captions might be auto-generated, but note that the posssessive pronoun "its" is used inappropriately throughout.

The amount of things that needed to go right for them to pull this off is staggering and honestly quite overwhelming if you think about it too much, escaping the grip of earth gravity is hard enough let alone launching a car sized rover with accompanying sky crane and getting it to land on a predetermined spot on a planet so far away that it appears as a star in the night sky.

I can't wait to see what we do next, with any luck I'll live to see mankind walk on Mars.

damn

Honestly, we spent $2 billion to see redish rocks? Time for these nerds to get a real job.

Damn, that intro got me so hyped. I love this stuff

Here’s to hope that she has a great and long life on mars

Can you imagine 1000 more years. What will they have then?

Titans oceans are made of liquid methane and ethane i! H20 can't exist in its pure form unless it's frozen solid

Real Engineering is indeed a basket of future technology for changing the world. I have much interest in fast moving train using magnets. maglevs. I hope i will get this technology right.

Tell me one thing after how many mission like this mission reached the sucessful landing?

Any of you have the LEGO set of this rover

youd think they would use solar energy charging instead of letting it die

Appreciate of the brilliant innovation technology in this videos because videos is very understand to give information a modern technology in this future from engginerring to world and universe

erm. Mers. 😅

before that elon is going to mars

hats off to the enginners who design this machine

how do shoot work with no atmosvere?

Loved watching it. Absolutely worth the time. ❤

هیجان همه وجود آنسان را فرا می‌گیرد، ممنون برای بودنتان ، و خوشا به حال آیندگان که اینها را زندگی کنند . 🍂✌️

You guys really made the animations amazing

Too many moving parts. Somethings gonna break on that thing really quick

Mars is flat

Just want to say you are putting out great stuff, and I appreciate it.

I know it sounds strange but I would love to pet Perseverance rover over the camera mount.

Awesome work as always keep it up thank you for keeping us informed on different things God bless you♥🙏

there are already about a hundred of those vehicles on mars, they should install traffic lights too and possibly establish a traffic authority for parking fines, speed limit fines and such. With the current technology I think these are all goal in sight. Next would be to improve the motorways conditions and, let me say, I'd like to see some races too

the Perseverance rover is still working while the chinese rover is already dead lol. it just goes to show you that chinese made isnt as good as the US.

So perseverance is doing what the luna 24 did but on Mars while also being a rover

MEN AND WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT!!!!!
