Pretty silly to blindly follow - you don't write a great review before you consume anything. That would be a preview, lol. I agree with the sentiment though. It was an interesting, high quality, and well researched video.
Hi Dane- having followed Alex's channel for a while now, I know every one he does will be accurate and great quality. He is the ONLY one I would do that for! So, in effect, it could be said that... I can write a great review Even though it be preview His topics show research His name we won't besmirch I'll go away now.....
Hi Adallace- agreed! the great thing about Alex's videos is that they can be entertaining and informative for us, but at the same time, easy to understand for kids!
To be honest. You could argue that we as a human race have so many problems on this very planet, ie war, greed, corruption, poverty. Do we really want to spread that to other planets? Also we could allocate those resources to further help people who are in poverty. Helping the unfortunate, always comes before things like space exploration. Not saying we shouldn't do space exploration, but you could make that argument stated. Cheers.
@@pyrimad8 Actually it didn't say that at all. Well not in those words at least. Oppy actually said something much technical, and a science reporter who had spoken to 2 scientists working on the mission 'translated' that the rover "basically said 'my battery is low and it is getting dark". It was not what Oppy literally transmitted back to Earth. www.snopes.com/fact-check/opportunity-rovers-final-words/
For me this was the best ever! It's so good to see actual footage instead of artist's renderings, the actual surface of another planet as if we were there ourselves!!!!!!
+the third party I do believe it, there was no sarcasm intended. I just think they’re neat because they make a time lapse sequence look like an actual video.
Its a powerful sound...there is a NASA site I believe or space site that as it shows the huge size difference of inner planets...there's a Sound Site. All planets even the Sun ...the site has recorded the Resonant Sound of every planet...the soundeaves are sheer Awesome.. Such Power. No wonder the pyramid builders used their design to tune to the frequencies of planet's... The sound is so powerful you can easily imagine it driving power turbines
Too bad they didn't show the huge apartment area, they tried to paint it out!! Also the huge city's of the Tiny people, and their tiny cars!!! many towns and villages!! They want to show uss the dirt, not the people!!!!

Alex is one of the few producers on TV or the internet who bother to caption their photos and video properly to say whether they are real or CGI and where they came from. CGI is so good nowadays it is often hard to tell the difference. I think it it very important to know what you are looking at. Thanks Alex.
Year: 2060-destination: Mars- City:Opportunity Boy reads history library book-“ so that’s why this city is named opportunity Boy reads history book on Curiosity point-“ were moving”
Thank you for doing videos like these,I am space nut so seeing footage from alien planets amazes me no end,keep up the good work can’t wait to see the next video
Thank you Alex! This tenacious little rover has somehow managed to worm its way into the psyche of the astronomy community and endear itself to the majority of people on Earth. It ceased to be solely an American project after it blew past its projected mission duration and never looked back. I’m really looking forward to the next installment of the Opportunity Rover, so is my daughter. She has definitely gotten my love for astronomy and everything space based, and has little drawings of the planets, their moons and rings, as well as the dwarf planets and asteroid belt objects. She has already turned her attention to the Oort Cloud and is concentrated like a targeting laser on the New Horizon mission, waiting for any new information to put into a picture. She also watches every single episode of Astrum with her dad, because you make it interesting. Good work!
i have seen almost all videos in this channel and i can easily say that i trust the content of Astrum ...... it has nothing to do with critical thinking whatsoever.
Thank you so much. I truly hope Opportunity wakes up. She has done so much and been through much in the last almost 15 years. She has more than exceeded expectations.
Can't wait till NASA sends miniaturized electron microscopes to Mars.......visible light scopes don't go deep enough to see microbial fossils. Or microbes.
Thank you for making this video its just awesome I really appreciate the level of detail and the maps as well as the chronological aspect of the video really thanks a bunch :)
I hope Oppy is able to get dusted off by the wind, and continue on. I'm sure there is much more life in her. Thank you for doing this. I LOVE this stuff.

How did it say that? Did it have an AI system like siri or something?
Likely programmed to say that at low level battery..its all programming..A.I is in infancy still

This video was so good that even my 8 year old brother got interested in this..
The idea of a robot on another planet wasn't enough?

That is what Astrum is all about reality and no CGI. 😊
Those time lapse photos are soooo cool. It’s like a video from the surface of another planet.
Not "like", it IS
Sequence. Time-lapse _sequence._
Lol you guys don't get it? It implies he doesn't believe the footage.
Gullible fools blinded by your own stupidity..😔😴
+the third party I do believe it, there was no sarcasm intended. I just think they’re neat because they make a time lapse sequence look like an actual video.
it'll be cool if when humans live on mars they put it in a museum
Broboi Was up or if the first people to visit mars brought it back to earth.
Hey kid that belongs in a museum
That is if we even make it long enough on earth
There are others successes and failures that could be preserved as displayes or in their original location on Mars!
The Raging Storm “so do you!” “Throw them over the side!”
Too bad they don't put microphones on the rovers. It would be cool to hear the ambient sound of another planet or moon.
I Hear Ya..(pun intended)
Its a powerful sound...there is a NASA site I believe or space site that as it shows the huge size difference of inner planets...there's a Sound Site.

I really enjoyed that Can't wait for the next episode keep up the amazing work its really cool
I've also been in Safe Mode for an extended time.
Noice ! ;-)
I'm always in a safe mode whenever I watch or listen to anything from NASA
NASA is giving you 45 days or they will assume the worst.
I am in debug mode.
I'm stuck in an infinite loop, and need to be reset.
One thing that is very sad is that the robot sang happy birthday to himself every year 😥
That’s Curiosity.
That's the Curiosity Rover.
Curiosity rover
Whats your name in Roblox?
why must you make me cry haha
They say "Quality is not an act, it is a habit". You proved it in each of your videos and so did NASA. Hope for best for opportunity's destiny.
proud that im born in a era where we started the mars exploration but sad i wont leave earth ;-(
It'll still be hundreds, maybe 1000+ of years before living on mars might be comfortable

Hi Aunt
Year: 2060-destination: Mars- City:Opportunity
Boy reads history library book-“ so that’s why this city is named opportunity
Boy reads history book on Curiosity point-“ were moving”
Actually it’d probably be named The City Of Opportunity and The City Of Curiosity, and also they would be able to see the rovers in museums.
This is by far my favorite series youve done Alex. I can’t wait for Perseverance’s series. Thanks for everything you do.
Confirmation the wheel is the best invention of men :)
I am so happy that the opportunity rover playlist is actually in order.
more of this i love this little guy on mars
Fantastic video mate, loved this
Always wanted to see a video of the rover like this
Great video as always !
Opportunity rover is a survival it will be the best rover ever if it could find life on mars, GOOD VIDEO from ASTRUM.
Fantastic video and so intriguing!
Thank you for doing videos like these,I am space nut so seeing footage from alien planets amazes me no end,keep up the good work can’t wait to see the next video
This is why I love RUclips finding Gems like your channel. Thanks for the video.

Watching this robot do its thing makes me feel like a proud mom . . Oppy you did an amazing job!
This is like a really good bed time story. Thank you!
Cant wait for episode 2!!!!!
I think I’ll buy my next washing machine from NASA. Goodbye Opportunity.😢
Thank you so much. I truly hope Opportunity wakes up. She has done so much and been through much in the last almost 15 years. She has more than exceeded expectations.
Rest in peace Opportunity. The rover that lasted over 62 times as long as it was supposed to. Here's hoping Curiosity can follow suit.
Fascinating video, as always :)
R.j.p opportunity. You were too beautiful for this system.
@Desert Ants And you are too stupid for this system.
Great video! Keep it up
"My battery is low and it is getting dark."
Try being original.
My heating fuel is low and winter is coming.
@Thomas Terbanc Try not having a shitty personality.
you meen daak ? like simetimes on maaaz ?
Great video I enjoyed it very much.
New video notification from Astrum for me is like sound of ice cream van for kids ❤️🤗
or like the sound of an ice cream van for junkies.
I dont get your joke?
Really really good video.
I love Opportunity
I can't wait for rover 2020 and JWST. 😍
Great video mate
Thumbs up 👍🇬🇧
What did the rover find on Mars?
It's own shadow
Also found dirt and heat.
see now we know there are six more weeks of winter until spring
I really enjoyed this..Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
I just heard curiosity is back up and running I hope it can find opportunity that would make my day
thank you for making this video!
Can't wait till NASA sends miniaturized electron microscopes to Mars.......visible light scopes don't go deep enough to see microbial fossils. Or microbes.
EM's in a rover ? is that possible ? too much power needed , no ?
That will be nice, humanity rules. the solar system is already under attack.
I want to see pictures of the Poles.

Thank you for making this video its just awesome I really appreciate the level of detail and the maps as well as the chronological aspect of the video really thanks a bunch :)
Nice video. I hope NASA starts making consumer electronic devices, they will last so long 😄
@Grard Csnrs he was just trying to be funny
Its called Obsolescence.
Made In America 🇺🇸
I would like a "Our Solar System's Moons: Europa" video.
Would be very interesting
Great presentation as always.....can't wait for the next episode
Great video and keep up the good work!
One brave little rover...
Well done mate
I re-watch Opportunity's landing once in a while to see the Ooo's and Ahhh's when the "tiled patio" comes into view.
Excellent video!
Opportunity- Mr stark, I don't feel so good
Sending software updates to Mars. Mind. Blown.
2022, mission to mars, if they dont recover oppy, Im gonna be angry af
Same
2022 is when they launch all the supplies and then the manned mission will be in 2024 so let’s hope we recover any rovers we can
Another wonderful video....Thank you for your work
the nasa team was in shock when it got stuck, its like your child one employee said
Saber Goli you pulled this outcher ass didnt ya
no, i saw a full length documentary on it. they are very much attatched to their projects
I love your videos. Good job on all of them.
"at an average speed 1cm per second"
so it would take it almost 3 seconds to travel from my tip to my base.
I hope Oppy is able to get dusted off by the wind, and continue on. I'm sure there is much more life in her. Thank you for doing this. I LOVE this stuff.
Mars has been so Beautiful nxt to the moon everynight
Fantastic channel!!!
TY, I learned so much about mars and thiccy uh
Great video. Thanks for showing a map now and then. Looking forward to Episode 2!
You need to do a video about the recent photos sent back from an asteroid by the japanese probes
ep 2 please :3 loved it
RIP opportunity 💐💐💐
Thanks, one of the best videos I've seen about Opportunity.
It was Mars! I didn't think about the picture maybe being in black and white.
Nice work guys, we appreciate the data sharing.
Awesome video!
Love the videos keep them coming!!!
Beautiful work, thank you.
Excellent channel. Well done sir.
Such great videos, man. Keep it up.
Nice presentation. Looking forward to the next installment.

Amazing video man extreme simple narration along the rover adventure.
Very educational video and great explanation.
