The Ingenuity helicopter will investigate Mars’ atmosphere and the Perseverance rover will explore its surface, where scientists hope to find signs of microbial life that may have once existed on the planet.

NASA To Launch New Rover And Helicopter For Mars Mission | NBC Nightly News
I hope that tik tok will get banned on mars. I just hate this cancerous app.
its only cancerous if you use it. just like cigarettes
@Hanh Le @@@a@
@Jason Saboury passive smoking is bad too. Second hand smoke is dangerous too
@Jason Saboury i dnt use it and i will never use it.
@Drew Smith no point calling me a racist actually.
Cool drone!
Cool.
How will it fly if there’s no atmosphere?
There is atmosphere on Mars.
Mggames1010 so how do they speed up slow down miss objects on the way to mars? i don’t understand how non-atmosphere motors work, i really want to know, please explain it to me.
The 👽 are immune to Covid ! 😨
Samuel Hayden: YOU CAN’T JUST SHOOT A HOLE INTO THE SURFACE OF MARS!?!
*MISSION OBJECTIVE: Shoot a hole on Mars.*
Why no money for the Pandemic another insane America Trip where the funds should be going to your people. Shame
@Ankit Luthra Delusional ignorance has serious consequences, such as not being able to produce the next generation of international airline pilots and ship’s captains since the basis for maximal efficiency navigation is eliminated. Welcome back to the Middle Ages. I don’t find that amusing.
@Reflected Miles You know nothing about navigation. But you still want to prove that whatever you studied in school is true just to satisfy your ego.
@Reflected Miles I am impressed by the video.
@Ankit Luthra hey flat earther, answer theej 2 wery wery wery simpal quastions.
1. On a flat model, the sun is said to circle around above us. Flat earth theory claims that ships don’t go beyond/under the horizon and can always be zoomed back into view with a good camera. Can we zoom the sun back into view after it has set if it’s still in the sky?
2. Flat Earthers deny the curvature of earth and gravity by using the water level argument that ocean surface cannot curve as water always finds its level, Yet you believe that the firmament/dome above us is water that curves around the sky. How come the water from the dome doesn’t come crashing down as water is surely denser than air?
Answer these 2 basic questions and I’ll become a flat earther if you answer correctly.
Unfortunately Mars before created any life clided with small planet Wich is Astrid belt evedence so no life at this time.water and atmosphere and Goldy lock zoon is ingridians for life in all universe’s.by God
*To all the commenters on the money who want this rover cancelled* The Perseverance program was funded to JPL 8 years ago and nearly all the resources were spent years before our current situation. This machine contains a suite of cutting edge scientific equipment with humanity’s first extraterrestrial drone powered a miniature nuclear reactor for about the same cost as a single fighter jet. America can easily do great things when you have consistent competent leadership that respects its scientist and engineers.
peek a boo 🤘
Misplaced priorities! Tackle the trump virus first
Folks, space wars has begun!
How does one consciously go from starving children needing food in the billions of dollars to a story about landing on mars which most likely costs billions of dollars. This society is so screwed.
Same thing I thought when they showed the Mars story, who cares about life on Mars some 3 million or billion, I don’t really care, yrs ago. Children are starving in present time…ridiculous how people get excited to explore earth’s neighbor
Ok guys, you heard the lady, as long as the world has problems there can’t be scientific progress. Pack it up, give the NASA budget to a bunch of corrupt NGOs that will siphon a bunch of the budget and what they do provide will probably end up pillaged by local warlords.
Because we HomoSapienCancerSaurus dream beyond the campfire, outside the cozy cave and over the abyss …
Why go to Mars, just go to the desert in California, it’s the same thing.
😅
Angelo C. Science already knows enough about the deserts but humanity want to expand our knowledge and grow by exploring outer space and therefore we are going to Mars instead of a desert. If flat earthers want to stick to studying and experimenting with old failed experiments, they can do so but they shouldn’t stop others from trying to grow and learn more because at the end, they will realise their folly and turn to science to learn about life and they will be glad that we went to Mars.
Hopefully they’ll be able to find a cure for Covid on Mars. Not sure that Demon sperm , Hydroxychloroquine and Alien DNA are the answer.
Again! Why are we wasting millions on sending stupid robots to space, when we have children who are starving in America, due to Covid? I have always supported such space exploration, but not NOW! We need to spend our monies more wisely, during this pandemic! Ugh!
Why were we wasting money having a bunch of professors laying around daydreaming about riding beam of light and poisoning not-so-dead cat, when millions after millions were dying during the world war … ever wonder where those money lead to?
The money was spent years ago. Stopping the project now means that the money spent previously would be wasted. Should the government stop spending any money nit related to COVID?
“Stupid robots” do some research thank you 🙂
These “stupid robots” will bring back knowledge that will enlighten humanity to let go of our opposing faith and beliefs that only causes divide, wars, hunger and injustice.
Or are you afraid that science will finally prove that religion is all man made and the creation story is crushed by absolute proof of humanity’s origin.
Mars looks a lot like Riverside Ca, only nicer
How fast must the helicopter rotor spun to achieve lift in thin atmosphere. Do they know
There’s a video that explains how many rotations the rotor makes in a second. It is many times faster than is required on earth’s atmosphere
6 months to get there 💛 🐭 NASA don’t bring it back to Earth it’s a 🐀😻
15 feet off the ground? Why not just mount a camera on a retractable selfie stick?
Ah. You’re right until you realise that a Martian 15 feet is equal to 170 feet on earth.
@HumanBeing So far, that realization still eludes me. Perhaps you should clarify your statement so that us laypersons could be clued in?
Mixed feelings about this. Just saw how children are starving to death, and this time it will hit the US, and billions of dollars are needed to feed them….. It just seems we should take care of Earth first, so we don’t become the next Mars that gets aircraft sent to it to see if life used to be here. This planet, our people, desperately need us.
Life here is important.
We can’t even get our president and his followers to believe in science enough to control a viral pandemic.
Seems we have our priorities askew.
But I get why this is important too. I just wonder which is the priority right now.
This has been funded for over 8 years, not just something NASA spends in one day. Humanitarian disasters come and go, but this is ultimately a step further for mankind’s achievements. NASA barely touches the amount that is spent on military budget or even humanitarian crisis funding.
@Saturn28 well said. This mission right here is the foundation of the future. Our children and their children after them will learn a lot about our significance in the universe. Much of humanity’s failures has to do with not having a common goal, a common belief in our origins and the purpose our existence. With such discoveries, our opposing beliefs on faith and existence will finally be resolved if not fully, at least enough to make us understand more about ourselves better than we do today.
Anyone else find it EXTREMELY odd that we never went back to the moon?
Is because is basically pointless to go to the moon yeah is cool and we could build a space base there but for start we need a celestial body with more resources
Mike 0891
Yes it’s strange
maybe it’s a no go area if they discover something 👍
@Random guy I forgot how many trillions of dollars in minerals they estimated are on the moon, let alone water that can be used as fuel. You can have a base on the moon for scientific research because of the no atmosphere or be used as a launching platform because you need less fuel to leave the surface compared to earth. So I 100% disagree with you saying it is pointless
@WOBBLE WOBBLE They could have been told not to come back! I’m pretty sure that’s what you meant by “discovery”
Mike 0891
Sorry, I meant if they discovered something when they first went.
Why’s every country rushing to mars? Did they find something?
No its just that earth and mars right now are super close to each other
Not how long, but how well you have lived is the main thing.

Guys, this is historical.
Are some folks against this mission in fear that it will ultimately expose religion as man-made when proof of life is found on other planets?
nightly.msnbc.com
Fantastic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hopefully they find what we always suspected. There was life and maybe still is life there.
Pity it takes so long.
Hope I’ll be alive to see the first signs of life out there and the amount maybe massive
👽 🛸🛸🛸🛸 🖖
Yay, some non Covid news!
very detaied article from abc
aww they are gonna be like brothers or sisters
Put all the chinese people on the mars
It’s been 70 to 80 years and yet still using chemical propellants to break free of earth’s gravity. Why is that? Wheres the super duper warp quantum drive?
Somewhere on Mars there has to be Glass
