Taters the cat is the star of a new video that NASA streamed back to Earth using a high powered laser from a record-setting 19 million miles away. NASA advisor Dr. Paul Sutter explains how the laser works and what it means for space exploration.

Finally , a proper use of advanced technology.
Yes
Taters? I thought it was Jones from the Nostromo!
Hong Kong country 🐨🐻🐨
Someone love cats very much
show aliens what we love
In order to be able to live on the Moon or Mars and still be able to have decent communication back and forth something like this was needed. Hopefully it only gets better.
Is this the same cat you showed me years ago? #nasa

Aliens monitoring Earth news: Why they call this “deep space”? Our universal translator must have been fried from the black hole anomaly we just went through.
What is to become of the cat?and was it necessary to do that
The cat is starting a tech company that you’ll be unqualified to work for.
The cat’s not on the space station, it’s just a video
well since the ‘spooky effect’ has been proven to be true. communication will become instant
At least we know this p**** in space, that’s the only reason I was scared to go😂
I thought they teleported the cat, lame.
“Jonesy, here kitty kitty”.
And his kitten. Tater Tot
Now the aliens will think cats are in charge
HAHA
You don’t own a cat no? 😊

Yeah but whats with the 2min the latency? Im sure that is an iterative “jump” but can we correct that with quantum chips and entanglement? Because this crap is not gonna work long term, and is only localizable in space (i.e. need a network of router/relays and pricey hardware).
I think you watch too much sci-fi, quantum computing won’t change the speed of light. Technology has physical limitations.
@chrisfleming701 Pretty arrogant, petty, and masturbatory of you to come in hot like that with a 3-dimensional ideation of what space (yes, sans time) is, to a computer scientist (b.s. 2018).
I also think you’re excluding relativistic lensing on your own meatphysical beliefs as everything can be seen in a series of relativistic (or co-moving) frames as defined by whatever you so choose. In that, there’s actually no limit to how you can choose to measure something’s speed, as it’s all relative; time even flexes.
How can you say with confidence that a relativistic jet of particles isn’t moving superluminally irrespective of us somewhere at a far enough distance?
Cosmologists cant even agree that we aren’t already travelling at light speed , or any speed for that matter, as the observer of an accelerated mass will never see it go superluminally, however its still possible for the non-intertial superluminal mass to travel that fast in some spacetime of n dimensionality.
Dont get hung up on the ego of the observer bias–not everything requires an observer to exist now, does it?
Let me add: have you considered what the speed of light is in a vacuum, with no referential masses upon which to calculate its speed?
Do you employ general or special relativity for your perspective anyway?
All these tools and the article here should have you thinking more critically of the popular lightspeed meta bolstered by establishment academics and dogmatic fiends like yourself who wont participate in progressing knowledge, rather, adhereing to it, in ignorance.

@chrisfleming701 moreover, if youre concerned with “infinity” (where the limits approach when accelerating as it relates to 4-momentum, and energy required to travel so fast), be sure to specify what kind of infinity you mean if thats your argument.
Do you also know what happens when a higgs field isnt condensed when particles pass through it?
What is electroweak symmetry? Hmmmmmmmmm
Ever seen a penrose diagram used? HMMMMMM
Ok just get back to me when the usable technology catches up with theoretical physics.
@chrisfleming701 Oh wait, yeah, we dont have it, but we still need a theory of quantum gravity, so please, just hold your tongue until we do have one.
The joy on his face is priceless
always the cat videos…
how does this help ukraine?
Nasa went from going to the moon to making funny cat videos…what an embarrassment
What is the embarrassment here? They are building laser communications that are vital to successful missions. You aren’t very bright.
@@ILovePancakes24 what’s embarrassing is that NASA has to use these tactics to be relevant because this tiktok generation only loves pancakes and cat videos
This is an impressive feat but…19 million miles is NOT deep space, Mars is over 30 million miles from Earth. You should give some realistic context next time.
Media has never accurately reported science topics. It’s all about views and clicks. When a scientist says something doesn’t fit the current model, the media will start shouting that “scientists say the impossible is happening!” and illustrate it with as many lurid pics and artist’s conceptions, and wall-eyed “experts” from places like PragerU and the ancient aliens cults as they can afford. Realism and accuracy take a back seat every time.
Space probes????
Can’t keep a atraight face reading cause noone believes this stuff anymore 1:15 all i know is nasa is siphoning money but produces little to no results my entire life
Are they bringing the cat back?
What makes you believe the cat went anywhere? Its just a video, the cat is not in your phone or tv neither.
aren’t they claiming the cat is in space?@@matclairoux
I support this research. Anything to get my cat videos in deep space
Most people who keep cats already know they are from outer space
Kittie magic!!! 🐾🐾

I imagine, in the future, mankind may be able to beam humans into portals from one location to another in an instance. Wouldn’t that be wicked cool?!
And come out’ as a half fly’
it would, but we are a long way off from figuring out how to convert matter, store it in a data buffer and then re-materialise it.
@@zephryusalready did it
In India, they poop on the floor out in the open in front of people. Good luck with that.
⚠️FAKE NEWS DETECTED⚠️
We’ve been able to beam images from mars since the 1964 and that’s way further than 19mil miles ( ~228mil ), also 2 minutes for a 15 second video, even if its like 4k doesn’t sound like its better than most of the US’s internet personally. I’m not saying this is dumb, I’m just saying I’m missing something ;-;
It takes 40 minutes just to get a photo from mars, 20 minutes to give the command and 20 minutes to send it, a laser from Mars would take 3 minutes to reach Earth so 6 minutes rather than 40 and your getting video not a photo.
If a 15-second 4K+ video took that long on Earth, I agree that would be bad. But a cat video from a YouTube server doesn’t have to travel 19 million miles. They are comparing the actual bitrate to that of internet services on Earth.
They got malware’ we got lazor guided cats’ 🤔🙄🙃😸

Its confirmed, Cats are better than Dogs! #js ;D
Cats ❤!!!
Reporter: “What are UAPs?”
NASA: “No idea. But, check this out… it’s a cat video”
Cat’s are the best test subject for video 👍👌❤️
Wait they just now thought of that or did they finally found my fourth grade science projec

In what #direction?
From satellite 🛰 to Earth 🌎?
Yet, we can’t get a 30 second video of the Martian surface?
We actually can get videos of the surface of mars it’s just that any video that is filmed on mars will not be a live broadcast sending radio or video signals from mars to earth will take between 20 to 40 minutes depending upon what the orbits are between earth and mars.
Un gran paso para la humanidad
What a fkn joke ❗
Smurfs now on Uranus
Yup. It’s cat people that are aliens. Hope you take care of your cat. It might take care of you someday! 😂
👽:years later
Whenever I hear NASA now, I think of bad science and man made global hoaxing.
HUP ..HUP …HOORAY….🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Lol
YOU CAN DO THIS BUT LET HACKERS TAKE OVER OUR ACCOUNTS AND HACK OUR PHONES ? DUH !!!
And? This is not new tech. not at all, its decades old.. slow news day?
Dude it gets views who cares
So they put a couch on a rocketship for the cat???
I’ve heard of the feline species. They’re friends of humanity and supposedly gave Egyptians the domesticated cats as a parting gift.
Heh heh, the timing is “immaculate” … heh heh
Tater tot very cute
With the earths polarity reversing it may be needed sooner than later. The finland volcano could effect climate for 2 years and cool the earth.
Some people complained about getting a baked potato for a christmas bonus. I think you could call it a spudnick
The beginning of project Blue beam starts with a cat video!!
I knew it🤔
Radio waves and lasers travel at the speed of light. There is no speed difference
So they say that the video was sent FROM the craft to Earth (nothing about it being sent FROM Earth to the craft). Ergo are we to assume that it originated in space-and that there are Space Cats?????
