Genuinely excited to see what comes after this! Do we: A) Send these helicopters to new planets to explore even more? or B) Perfect this technology so I can get my own Mars Jetpack?
A) Yes! Some other planets and moons have denser atmospheres, ie Titan, Jupiter, Venus. The aircraft will have to be custom designed for each environment. B) Maybe, but that's at least 50 years down the line...
Or
C) wake up and understand that this was all recorded on earth.
@@lactate Moron. I'ts spelled M...O...R...O...N. Look it up. Use it on your next resume'. Others will appreciate it.
@@lactate prove it
@@lactate and let me guess, the earth is flat?
While driving home today, I said to my wife, " I can't wait to get home and see what's happening on Mars." and THAT... was the coolest thing I have ever said. :)
Yes mate, yes it is!
What was her response?
@@nikkiholmes2634 She agreed, Nikki. To be able to get video from a planet MILLIONS of miles away and watch from the comfort of my couch....well....THAT'S JUST FREAKIN' AMAZIN' !!!!
I am old enough to tell you that I watched as Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon.( The most awesome thing humans have done in my lifetime...so far.) But these missions to Mars are mind-blowing.
What makes you think this is real?
@@jaynenord101 Do you think the earth is flat too when all planets observable with consumer grade telescopes are round???
The speed of humanity's progress is just mind-blowing especially when you realize we went from first controlled-powered flight on our own planet to a controlled-powered flight on another planet in just 118 years. Just. Wow.
Imagine what we would achieve in another 118 years. Or even less.
Yes but we've also regressed. 118 years ago jazz was the popular form of music, and now it's mumble rap and dubstep. We may hit warp speed in another 118 years but we won't have a good soundtrack for the journey, that's for sure.
@@rumrunner8019 haha so very true
Okay, but I'm one who thinks the Wright Brothers flight was faked.
It was done in a giant stage studio on an air force base in Nevada rather than on some North Carolina beach (using those thin cables you can't see in the film, of course)!
Itll keep getting faster and faster , our tech is always improving
RIP Ingenuity helicopter 2021-2024 NEVER FORGET!
why RIP bro?
@@abhinavsharma8963 It broke.
It is still alive though even though it cannot fly now. It takes temperature reading and one photo each day and saves to memory. They estimate the potential for 20 years of accumulated data to stored for later recovery by humans as long as it stays upright for charging the battery.
@@gavincurtis just realized even though it can't fly it can still use the rotor blades to knock sand off its solar panels. Probably adds a lot of lifespan to it
? it get 20 years more to live.
"...One small flight for a drone, one giant leap for dronekind..."
You are wrong. The Indian Prime Minister has already been to Mars way before this drone flying....
and there is no actual video
No Dust Cloud from rotor wash?
@@0truckmafk its just an animation . there is no actual video or even images
When one hears the word " Drone " it kinda makes you sleepy! This one woke up & woke up the whole World 🌞
So, this makes Perseverance the 1st aircraft carrier in space.
How is it in space, when it's in the atmosphere of a planet?
Perseverance is the rover ingenuity is the aircraft
It truly is!
@@ScarlettM literally everything is in space! In layman's terms space is sometimes equivalent to the heavens or everything beyond Earth's atmosphere.
its actually a nuclear powered aircraft carrier.
Wilbur and Orville, not to mention Igor Sikorsky, had no idea how far their work would go. Literally.
Sadly, the Wright brothers hugely stifled the development of aviation after their initial great successes, and tied up future aviation development in multiple lawsuits, setting progress back for years. If it were "up to them", most of the developments we've seen in aviation would likely not have happened.
@@markp.7478 -It’s true that one of the brothers was a good businessman protecting their inventions and patents by a lawsuit that last a few years. Although, in no way did they attempt nor want to stifle aviation achievement by others, that did not tread on their patents. The brothers were two of many that were testing and achieving initial powered man flights, in the states as well as overseas. From those early times, invention of non-glider type air planes took off, leaving theirs in the dust. They also chose not to make certain improvements or major modifications to their Model C that led the Army to discontinue use of theirs and the Curtiss models. This allowed others to enjoy government contracts.
They, by no means, had a controlling stake in these other inventions. I’m sure they had no ill will towards the parallel advancement that brought about more advanced flying machines, as opposed to their glider based machines. They did not invent many things that made flight possible, like the airfoil, propeller nor the notion of flight itself. They just spent their fortune and years researching and developing a few key ideas that made powered flight attainable and more controllable via their researched methods and inventions.
Associated people and other groups, with less stake in these developments, attempted (and were succeeding) to monopolize on these items. They built and were selling their own version of these flying machines and only after the lawsuits began did they slightly modify their design to attempt to avoid patent infringement. Some were even successful in being awarded a government contract at the same time as the Wright company. Why wouldn’t they fight these people in court? Once you start down that path, it’s one legal fight after another. Soon you get poorly viewed upon for attempting to protect your own inventions and company interest. How unfortunate is that for a company that achieve so much, in such a short amount of time, relatively speaking.
Ahem... Santos Dumont
Matt Damon must be stoked he can now get Amazon deliveries to his station in the Martian wilderness.
He's still literally the best botanist on the planet
@@maxheadrone4725 ...and the worst
If you think about it, companies like Amazon might someday turn into interplanetary (and, perhaps, interstellar) megacorps!
@@arnav257 like Planet Express from Futurama lol
He wants new music and a Shake Weight.
Quite amazing it can fly in that thin atmosphere.
Gravity on Mars is 40% that of Earth, so that helps.
It rose very quickly and took off smoothly. It was hovering steadily, and didn't seem like 1/100th of an atmosphere. It looks like there is more atmospheric pressure.
@MGTOW Gamer it's not that difficult to understand, is it?
@MGTOW Gamer exactly what expected from someone named MGTOW Gamer. Well then.
Lift is the force that makes birds, airplanes and helicopters able to fly. It depends on the density of the fluid (and air is a fluid), the speed and the area.
Air density in Mars is much, much smaller than the Earth. If I remember correctly, it's about 1%, but I might be wrong about that.
Since air density is smaller (which is the same as saying that the atmosphere is thinner), lift is weaker, so it's harder to fly something in Mars than it is in Earth. People at NASA managed to do it, so that's what the commenter found amazing.
Is everything clear?
She said Mars atmosphere is only 1% that of earth's. That's wrong. Closer to 1/3..
When aliens flew their ufo on our planet. Their news channel were excited too.
I will be your first comment entertainer tell me about your dreams.........
Aliens don’t broadcast. They just know 😔
You don’t really see much ufo sighting videos these days for a reason
yr piano playing sux
68 flights so far 💯
so they have data to build a new high tech flying rover amazing
This is absolutely incredible!
Thank you
Fake
@@freedomwarrior25 he has a tick, and has the subscribers
and there is no actual video
@@sitting_nut did you even go to his channel?
Outstanding Ingenuity. 2 years of flying and looking. RIP and i hope someone finds you and bring you home.
Those crystal clear pictures are just incredible
“A Wrights Brothers moment” INDEED!
They had to "fix" an air density problem to get a helicopter to fly, but the rocket in the vacuum of space had no problem pushing it all the way to Mars, and the parachutes worked... Those propellers look exactly the same proportionately as what we use on Earth in Canada.
did you see that cody's lab vid of trying to use a copter in that low of an air pressure? its hilarius. nothing against the guy, its just funny when it doesnt work.
@@scienceworksinmysteriouswa9463 Maybe he didn't do it right. You can't get a fan to blow a feather in a vacuum.
Or are you stating it was funny he thought it would work. I missed your point! LOL!
@@AlexAquarius963 yes, and nothing against him, ive actually seen his vids just from unrelated cool things. but i thought it was funny when it didnt work like he thought it would. again. we've all taken turns. nothing against him. peace
@@scienceworksinmysteriouswa9463 I did!
Yes do whatever it takes to make progress for Ingenuity and all future flights. So very proud of what you all have done and commend your awesome planning. You Rock the Planets!
great job NASA
NASA reported today the Ingenuity spotted a candy wrapper on the surface. Zooming in, it was determined to be an "earth bar".
You sure it wasn't a mars bar? Lol.
@@BobJohnson-tf5bq oh my god the joke went right over your head
👏
Nice, smarty pants lol I'm just jealous. LOL
@@justintimefordinner4902 Just like a helicopter...
This engineering feat is incredible. Drone and multiple ROVERS have been collecting and analyzing data over 1200+ sols. That information could mean life or death for the astronauts who eventually go there. It’s not if… it’s when. Awesome stuff.
The name of the plane is "Wright Flyer", Kitty Hawk is the name of the town in North Carolina where the test flight was performed 👍
"test flight" mostly this video is from that same day.
She's an Aussie so I wouldn't hold her to know American history, but..... We do have this thing called the interwebs. She could have just used far left google.
@belly tripper lol!
@@lactate this guy is commenting bs in every comment 🙄
My family and I visited Kitty Hawk NC last summer. Then and now is an amazing feat.
What’s amazing is that it’s ONLY been a little over 100 years between the first flight on earth and the first flight on Mars
So glad to see there are a few awake people in the comments.
They’ve finally found the perfect place for Amazon drone deliveries without having to worry about the FCC regulations or air traffic! 😎
and to date I think they've ran 14 flights already? absolutely incredible just ingenuity honestly
I can't believe how fast our technology is increasing. 140 years ago we didn't even have cars. 60,000 years humans have lived on Earth. In just the last 60 years we have finally figured out how to get off this planet and explore other planets. What will the next 200 years bring? I can't even imagine.
This first flight is nothing short of spectacular! NASA earned their keep many times over with this one.
You don’t seriously believe this do you😂🤣😂
@@jaynenord101 Yeah, Jayne. A bit of hyperbole on his part. They've "earned their keep" many, many times.
@@hotsauce7709 Do you believe this is really on Mars?
@@jaynenord101 Oh, for god's sake, of course I do!
Occam's Razor. The most obvious and most logical answer is almost always the correct one. We've been to Mars many times. Also, the Moon, Venus, orbited Saturn and flew by Jupiter. Even got a quick flyby of Pluto. Why do you deniers keep insisting we can't do this? Is your knowledge of science and technology so primative that it is just beyond your ability to understand? The technology being used to do this is exactly the same as the technology you use every day. It's not all that special. Sure, the computers are more powerful than a laptop...but there are more powerful ones in business and research. The radio technology and cameras and sensors are all stuff we have now in everyday life. The distances are far greater and the long times it takes to accomplish these projects reflect that. The immense difficulty it takes to blast a relatively small object millions of miles to send back only a tiny bit of data stretches our best efforts to the end. But it's not magic.
I'd think if we were faking it we'd CGI some more spectacular results. Remember the Mars probe that crashed and did nothing? The different rovers that just died? CGI stuff doesn't have to die.
@@hotsauce7709 people say occam's razor like that really covers everything.
First Flight on the Blue Planet: 1903
First Flight on the Red Planet: 2021 ✨🥳👍
Thank u for sharing this.
First flight on the Moon: 1969
@@claudekingstan4084 You are welcome ☺
@@118Columbus I think you are wrong, otherwise they should called the first flight on Mars in 1997.
Hot air balloons hundreds of years earlier: Am I a joke to you?
It's almost sad in a way that younger people today will watch this and think: "So NASA was able land a rover on another planet 300 million km from Earth and then use its computers to control a little helicopter on that planet and make it fly. What's the big deal? That's what computers do." Whereas those of us who remember the dawn of the space program in the 1960s watch this and think: they're flying a helicopter on Mars by remote control here on Earth. That is effing amazing.
Of course we DID also assume we'd be flying around with jetpacks by now. But you can't have everything.
Ultimate proof of concept test. Thank you ma'am for your comprehensive report on this exhilarating human achievement.
Thanks for your comments
The mathematics involved in order for this to be real is staggering.
Thanks for your comments 👋👋
Bill Nelson just announced the end of mission for it. It cannot fly anymore due to a damaged blade.
Wow, we are really stepping up to a multi planet species now. This feeling is awesome.
Just read this tagline again, " Nasa's Ingenuity helicopter flies on Mars for the first time."
@@cin806 Yeah. I'm not talking abt Ingenuity in particular, rather the whole set of developments that r happening.
@@cin806 This is particularly significant in terms of cost. Exploration can now be done on the cheap and much faster. More importantly, NASA has a fantastic track record with these rovers. Risk has plummeted. NASA has refined their R&D to such a degree that confidence in proposed projects is very high. That's important, again, for funding. That's an $85 million piece of equipment. Subsequent versions will be much cheaper and a regular component of future missions to Mars and other bodies. This is a very big deal.
@@cin806 someone isn't very bright
@@cin806 Hello Nick
Consider: Kane Tanaka was born Jan 2nd 1903. In December of that same year, The Wright Brothers successfully made the world's first powered flight. 118 Years later, in 2021 the very first powered flight was achieved on another planet, when the ingenuity copter hovered over the surface of mars. On that date, Feb 18, 2021, Kane Tanaka was still alive at the incredible age of 118!
Amazing . From India

@@James-xn1oe it's a secret satanic cult thing.
What strikes me is that Ingenuity's camera must have an extremely fast shutterspeed to catch that image of the shadow so sharply.
The black & white camera on Ingenuity is used for navigation so I think it is very fast.
Mhm 🤡 Resolution too low to capture dust flying though?!? 🤔
@@adamatlas1113 That's not what I'm talking about. Go study photography.
The camera man on Mars must be proud
Hahaha Ingenuity and Perseverance look like best buddies taking a selfie
YOU ALL ROCK...THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
A huge step for humanity... May God bless America
I am immensely proud of My fellow humans for charting strange new worlds! I wanna just say I have enjoyed your discussions and your personable manner,Claire
Rest in peace 🕊️, little buddy 😢
My life here on Earth is sad and exhausting.
I feel like a battery hen, working all my energy and time away, renting a small apartment with no space to move.
A walk outside is full of cars and shops, every inch is owned and exists only to extract something from me.
I have no real freedom, I feel in prisoned.
I’m over it. 😢
The walls are closing in.
Unreal when you actually think about how far technology has come
its more unreal than you think
RIP Ingenuity ❤
I've always known the Wright Brothers plane that took the first flight to be called the Flyer. The place where that happened was Kitty Hawk. That's a great nod of respect to the Wright Brothers, taking a piece of their plane to Mars. Excellent
simply THE best thing I've seen today. Congratulations to the brilliant team who made this happen!
where did you witness it ? and there is no actual video
@@sitting_nut shut tf up
@@emanuelecarriero2132 why do you want to run from facts?
@@sitting_nut what facts? You have a theory that they didnt go to mars for some weird reason. A quick google search into why they dont send videos will give you a quick answer. Simply search up “why doesnt nasa send videos from mars” 👍👏
@@emanuelecarriero2132 who said anything about not going mars ? are you having trouble with basic reading comprehension?
btw there is no technologically valid reason why they shouldn't have video or at least images by now. they don't have them not because they didn't go to mars, but because they are incompetent and wasteful and using long outdated technology .
instead they have a useless control room of people celebrating some vague moment, when this flight does not require a control room of people and is mostly automated. and there is no one precise moment to celebrate.
all the videos and animations here are merely pr and hype, to beg money from government.
this rather simple automated drone like flight took place, but it was made possible by coders long before this, and not some control room of people celebrating on cue to camera.
face the facts!
To think that only 118 years ago we figured out how to fly on earth. Now we can fly on mars. The wright brothers would be proud.
Im so incredibly happy about this. We are experiencing and witnessing history in the making and the future of human race. This is SUPER EXCITING.
If Ingenuity did nothing else, demonstrating that flight IS possible was worth the effort! (4/20/21)
For weigthless crafts, what about humans? Only with rockets
Imagine a living being in mars just seeing something just a rover in their planet
Incredible engineering, what an achievement.
Far in the future that drone will be a piece in a museum of mars. Definitely worth visiting.
This data should help them better design aircraft for Mars atmosphere.
I'm just here for the recent comments.
same I love seeing the idiots calling it fake
It was the Wright Flyer or just the flyer....Kitty Hawk was the location in NC. Great vid thanks CNET.
I hope some people in the comment section are not being serious about claiming it's fake. This is the biggest achievement humanity has ever ocomplished.
The really huge problem here that's being glossed over a little bit is that it must be entirely controlled by AI. The communications delay from Mars is 5 - 20 minutes, depending on orbital positions. So to make a helicopter explore on its own will be an absolutely massive challenge.
But we'll do it 🔥
The problem is that this is all fakeeee.
@@ainsmas361 🤣
@@ainsmas361no it aint dawg
You are correct. I'd imagine they send the flight-path and parameters to the rover as a script, which then locally transmits it to Inguinity.
Amazing stuff. Regarding the sound recording, I wonder how much sound can really be transmitted on Mars with such a low atmospheric pressure.
She has a strong Australian accent.
I just wished they landed closer to Curiosity so Ingy could blow the dust off her solar panels.
Curiosity does not have solar panels.
...And we are getting Android updates almost after an year...
And your android is also free......
@@carholic-sz3qv Right? That drone and rover were millions upon millions of dollars lol
The rotors are supposedly counter rotating, but they showed them to be rotating the same way. Twice.
I can't wait to see what information we get from this
Or what they allow us to see
That we will see plenty of Dirt and Rock.
@@bellawright4265 The rest Never A Straight Answer will not let us see.Artefacts on Mars?More than likely I would think left bt whom?Way above my pay grade hello from Australia.
What a time to be alive! In the beginnings of exploring another planet. I can’t imagine what things will be like in another 100 years!
or even 20 years, maybe there will be first humans briefly on mars, if we dont succumb to the destruction of our environment here
So nice. I can't wait to see Mars children grow up.
Just like those living in the 1950’s and 60’s, we are living in such an amazing time of space exploration... and beyond! Humans are pushing the boundaries further and further, and I love it!!
It was about time! We could have been visited Mars decades ago if we hadn't spent our money to bloody wars!
Congratulations to all the people part of the team that achieved this feat, they will soon be surpassed but the first step always matters.
Arizona looks beautiful.
This just in: FAA slaps NASA with a $10,000 fine for flying a drone without a Part 107 license.
Literally everyone working at NASA probably has a 107 Cert.
03:45 -- Just a point of fact: the Wright Brothers' first plane was _not_ called "Kitty Hawk"; that was the name of the township in North Carolina, where they first flew. They named their plane something rather drab, I'm afraid: "the flyer".
Love it! Enjoy seeing more in the day's coming!
but did the pilot have a permit from the faa. and clearance from the local fright controler?
This is so amazing 🤩
I cannot express how exciting this is!!!
Thanks for your comments 👋👋
Mars sure looks a lot like area 51....
Is it all a lie?
@@AlanpittsS2b No.
Congratulations
This is so amazing and incredible (Genuinely surprised too really), and I can't realize that the fact that I'm experiencing a historic moment in humanity, I had the privilege. So do all of you that viewed this moment, It's sad that this should deserve more views than usual because it's actually becoming historic. I'm kinda losing my faith in humanity's view of history. But just wow, ok we are really having big steps and big points for humanity.
Waiting for uneducated human being come up with weird conspiracy theory
Thanks for your comments 👋👋
Nah they did it but it's means nothing compared to what our own world faces
I'm not one of those people who think space is fake and we never went or whatever, but damn that flight really looked fake. The landing looked like someone made it in windows movie maker. I guess it could just be because of the lower gravity and no atmosphere, but that landing....
One small flight of ingenuity drone a "giant leap" for mankind
I will second your statement STRAIGHT UP!!! (Personally though, I would have highlighted the term "giant leap" there to make it much more prominent.)
I can only sing a song: When The MARS hits your eye like a Big Pizza pie, THAT'S AMORE.....
Fly me to -o -o Mars!
I want to be a space cow boy
THAT' A MOWE
"finally we managed to launch a drone in the Nevada desert" why can't you just be honest?
Because you made it up. That's why. That's also why you have no evidence that any of your stories is true. Your stories are fake, ignorant bs.
1:03 when ur friend takes too long to fix his face for a selfie
the way she speaks make me uncomfortable.
Her eyelashes creep my out.
Imagine how confusing it would to aliens if they visited the solar system long after earth was completely destroyed but then they find random robots on lifeless mars.
Looks awesome. Can’t wait to learn more about this “Maaaaahs” place you speak of!

One word “funding”
Congratulations team Ingenuity. Hard work really pays off 💝
Glad to see the teams celebration 🎉 and excitement ❤️
A huge thanks to team NASA, INGENUITY, PERSEVERANCE ROVER 2020 & Each and every Engineer Involving for building and success of the Project.
Your hard work is really appreciated ❤️.
Hard work pays off? Don't you mean perseverance pays off. xD
Think of all the thousands of things that had to go right to get ingenuity and perseverance there in the first place!! Now flying the chopper on Mars, how amazing that is!!
Great commentary and spectacular images. Congratulations to the team for their ingenuity and perseverance
I LOVE this!! Yes, I think they should get all the mileage out of Ingenuity they can!!!
Two thumbs up for this project!!
We the aliens now.
Absolutely incredible what can be achieved. Exciting times ahead.
Thanks for your comments and how are you doing today
At what speed does this camera's shutter operate? He caught the shadow of the helices as if they were standing still. Fantastic!
CONGRATULATIONS to MiMi Aung and her team at JPL. Fantastic achievement!
i cant see dust flying when the copter rotator spins for take off and landing. does martian dust doesn't fly??
It might have been packed down dust.
A 1 percent atmosphere rotor wash doesn't seem to move much.
