Absoluetly love this mini series...you mustve put so much work into making this video and it really shows!!
Sometimes we're very unappreciative of technology we're sitting here looking at pictures from another world on a smartphone or PC how cool is that
Cool as fuck
Louis Henton
I like the way u think sir.
Louis Henton What is videoing the Mars craft riding around from behind and in front and above? The sky is blue! It's all on Earth.
Eh, I guess......
I actually turned off porn to watch this so I guess it’s kinda cool.
RIP opportunity
One of the best robots ever
It was, and they let us use it, we could go drive it around, they suggested to follow the tracks, I went straight North, found a village of all white houses, and a block or two up, one two story house, I wanted to go back and see what was behind then AC's rabbits, chickens etc. Sent pic of village to NASA, and they shut it down for all of us...Really felt bad for a long time!!!
Not one of,
He is the best robot ever
@@420milesmemes its a robot how is it a he bruh
Not ONE of the best it is the best robot ever
Can’t forget spirit too
Seeing Phobos' transit was amazing - the thought that I'm able to see a partial eclipse on another planet is mind bending and one of the coolest things I've ever seen in life. Great video!!!
Is it just me or is it really sad when a Rover meets its end. R.I.P Spirit and R.I.P Opportunity and other fallen Rovers. Your work will never be forgotten.
The Opportunity Rover met up with Spirit, and I wondered why they didn't have him get Spirit's wheel out of the sand ditch!! could have easily picked it up with it's arm!!
Opportunity rover found Spirit, and could have easily got it's wheel out of the sand!! Whey didn't they ask it to do it??? perhaps dead is ded!!!
Oppy didn't meet up with Spirit though??
@@duanewilliams7353 Oppy and Spirit never met. They were on opposite sides of the planet, and it would've taken decades for them to reach each other at their speed and hazard-avoidance ability.

Alex, I've said this before, but will repeat it now. I was a boy of just shy of 13 years when I looked in wonder at two men cavorting around on the Moon. My head was filled with all the sci-fi books I always read, and TV shows that I watched. It's been half a century, and I can still remember the wonder I felt then.
While I have loved all the scenes of stark beauty given to us by the rovers, it is my fervent wish to see, once again, boot prints on the surface of land not of this Earth, and be transported back in time to that young boy.
I implore all the young people of the Earth to set aside childish things such as hate, and focus instead on the destiny of humanity, which is "to boldly go where no one has gone before"!
That's not destiny of mankind, that's star trek.
@@moviemaker2011z I was around for the pilot episode of the original series, so I'm aware of that, thanks! (Although in the original, Capt. Kirk said "where no MAN has..."!)
As far as it being our destiny. do you think our resources here on Earth are going to last forever?
I too saw the Moon landings and now I am holding out for footprints on Mars. I don't care which nationality gets there: I just want to see it happen while I'm still here.
@@MarsFKA When I was younger, I always felt it would be great to see the US flag on Mars. Now, I'll be happy to see any flag, even it's the SpaceX logo!
On February 13, 2019, NASA officials declared that the Opportunity mission was complete, after the spacecraft had failed to respond to over 1,000 signals sent since August 2018.
@Wade I read about a major sandstorm. My assumption is that its buried under the surface.
It was my birthday on we February
@@paithon7412 Happy Birthday!
Wow, spectacular vid! Big kudos to the designers and operators of these vehicles. It would be very easy to drive into a place where they could never get out, the skill and patience of the 'pilots' are impressive and we owe them much thanks. Also, I really like how you are clearly marking portions which are CGI or false-colored. Keep up the good work!
Yay! Finally! Video number 4! I've been waiting for months to see this! Please please please continue this series! You're doing a wonderful job on them. Oppy (and Spirit, and Curiosity) is one of the most inspirational things that has happened in years. We will benefit from their science for decades to come! More! More!
If they don't name the first 2 colonies on Mars "Opportunity" and "Spirit", *we riot.*
RagingGamer127 mars is already visited by some intelligent creatures with their space ships, there are dams and other artificial structures and small lakes on mars, nasa and american government and other governments know this truth and they keep it secret
@Livid You mean a Twitter riot as that is about as far as you kids could make it today. You guys would go nuts if you couldn't have that phone in your hands for 5 minutes.
What a moment that eclipse was... Really impressive. It is a joy to watch your content Alex, keep up the good work.
Pew do den
Hello nerd.welcome.
My favorite series on RUclips and also my favorite channel!! Thank you alex/astrum for making this videos!! 👏
i had to watch it twice cant wait for the next episode .thanks guys great work
Once again you deliver the best space science content on RUclips. Simply stunning!
It found chocolate casing with caramel and nougat inside.
A pity YT took so long to offer this channel to me. A well-made mission overview. Subscribed. I "followed" the two rovers for so many years, and kept telling people how noteworthy their unexpectedly long lives were, but sadly, not many appreciated the skills and drama of the missions.
because they are not real ! Face reality. Many places on earth can't get cell service, but yet we can communicate with a robot millions of miles away ? Not likely !
@@dueyneau6699 It's line of sight to the Odyssey spacecraft orbiting Mars, which relayed Spirit and Opportunity's transmissions back to Earth.
Cellular transmissions are blocked by geography from place to place here on Earth, so if the phone company hasn't built a transmitter in the area, cell service is out of the question.
@@dueyneau6699 What a stupid reply
It´s always so brutal that we have to wait for the next episode.
Well i guess such a great quality comes with a price. :)
Out of all my series, these videos are definitely the hardest to make. If I had to do these every fortnight, I'd be dead! But thanks for the positive comments!
@@astrumspace Sure, should be a compliment! ;-)
Why aren’t more people interested in this? It’s absolutely fascinating. Hello people, we landed on another planet.
Tears of joy
Homelessness, economy, covid. Solve those things first, then people might get interested.
Hi Alex , Thanks for putting out part 4 during my lunch break! ☺
I have really enjoyed these videos, and look forward to the next part. Sadly, the mainstream media does not bother following space missions like this. They cover the launch and they report on the landing, but then not much else beyond that. So thanks for making these videos.
I believe the media have problems showing these types of missions coherently because other than (as you say) launch and landing, there isn't much to report on a daily basis. Even here on this video, more than *two years* of activity has been covered in barely 10 minutes. That is why I think RUclips is such a great platform for sharing this kind of info. This guy at Astrum is doing a great job!
Respect for all the work you put into those episodes, they are so awesome, that I have watched many of your videos twice : ) You really can tell amazing stories of those fascinating satelites and rovers, I am waiting for more content!
Much love
2:27 You mean liquid evidence?
awesome video ! it's so impressive to discover somethings existed on planet Mars . I hope that , one day , you will find an Alien tresure that he had abandoned .
Love it when these pop up in my subscription feed, instant watch!!
Thanks for making these Alex!!
The more i hear of this story, the more it feels like modern day mars is essentially the fossil of a planet.
How cool it would be if someday we discover fossils of living beings on Mars? I really hope we do.
There was evidence of a nuclear explosion on the surface but life wiping itself out with nukes seems really stupid
Better take another look, and see!!! houses, cars cities!! take a close look!!!
@@duanewilliams7353 not more than on my wall or on the ground of my backyard, or in the clouds... These cars, cities etc, are in your own imagination. Brain finally sees these when seing nothing for a long time... But these are definitely not there. You're really damn pathetic.
@@gsyamsri8122 Sorry, but your not really looking at what's there!!! I take pics, and magnify them if I'm in doubt on anything!! What I speak of I can verify easily!!!
Fabulous as always.
Thanks for uploading.
Three seconds into the video and I've already given it the thumbs up because I just know it's going to be that awesome.
I purchased a CuriosityStream subscription using your code. Thanks man! And thanks for the videos.
A Curiosity code)))
Sometimes I just can’t wrap my mind around the fact that we have footage and pictures from a whole other planet.
aw man I want episode 5 now! Fantastic channel I can't wait to see more
I really hope NASA will show the truth, and not just as a ground as they can find, as they are doing now!! I think they show the huge cities , towns and villiages of the tiny people!!! quit painting over stuff they don't want us to see!!!!I have quite a few pictures of them!
Obviously the simulated many wheel designs that work in sand, I'm just surprised thats what the simulations came to for a design. You would think they would have more surface area and larger paddle like shapes, or the ability to extended the paddles out of the wheel when necessary. Thanks for the great content!
true, I think the reason is to minimally push in the surface of the sand. If you use large paddle (like spike) it is more likely that the wheels could be buried deeper in the sand through the momentum. For a vehicle moving as slowly like this it is more useful to rely on wheels with flat paddles only to get it carefully moving.
Yesh, look at what the best off road trucks use, super swamper boggers with cut lugs or TSLs. Work in sand, rock, dirt, mud, snow....NASAs tires look like a paste eatin nerd designed them.
Great video Astrum, thank you.
If only it was true.
@@forresthancock1939 it's true why don't you believe it
@@forresthancock1939 if only you were smart enough to believe it was true.
Another amazing video mate, painful to wait for the endeavour findings but will do so gladly. Thanks for all the quality content it does mean a lot to me, youre one of my main sources for interesting space findings :)
living in Norway this is the only time I get excited by rocks.
I wish NASA would put out international contest on the new rover design every now and then, and then collaborate with the winning team to improve it according to all knowledge they gathered from Curiosity, Spirit and Opportunity and lunch it to Mars. That way we'd had few rovers constantly rolling on the red planet and exploration would go faster. Also involving more people would make more people interested in engineering, astronomy etc. building new generation of scientists.
Thank you for another amazing upload! At the moment I’m researching Mars for a short story idea I’ve got rolling around in my head and your videos are always such a goldmine of information.
Great informative video. Thanks!
I'm a GEOLOGIST (MSci) and I approve this video path!! IF opportunity found clay deposits along its path, these clay units may be montmorillonite or kaolinite. If these are kaolinite deposits they were formed by the hydrothermal alteration and weathering of crystal tuff in the presence of water during long periods for the clays to form. The rock weathering and clay soil formation depends on the initial type of rock, the ratio of water to rock, the temperature, the presence of organisms and organic material (if any), and the amount of time since soil formation. A geochemical analysis is necessary along the Curiosity's path to answer these questions! I hope Opportunity did these analysis! Good luck and thanks for this excellent video !!
Good footage! What’s interesting is that this Rover is leaving track marks on the surface of Mars. Our Machines are exploring Mars first and a primitive intelligent machine is there now. Hard to by that a huge planet like Mars is completely devoid of any sentient beings. What a lonely, empty planet!
I was 100% with you until you said “by” and not “buy”. I now hate you.....
@@Scratchingforcash same
I have truly enjoyed these updates on the Mars rovers. Well done Astrum... Keep up the good work 👍👍
I love your videos! The images and info are presented very well and you always speak with a lot of passion!
Looking forward for next episode, thanks for making this really interesting videos about Opportunity rover!
If we do to Mars I hope we recover the rovers spirit and opportunity..those 2 have done so much hard work that it would be an insult to humanity to not officially recognize the 2 rovers for their outstanding service. As well as a special dedicated day in honor of those who made the rovers and operated them.
I concur, As a matter of fact, let's all just fly right over to Devon Island right now and see them. 🤗
Mary Tammero - 😂😂😂👍
@@listenup872 can't tell if you're trying to tell a joke, or are serious.
They we’re supposed to find life & or water. They failed. Sorry no awards.
@@jackblack384 actually they have found traces of water and water ice. The discovery if such is almost proof live could have or may still exist on mars. So yeah they get a reward.
Cant wait for the next one. I've got goosebumps watching this
Thank you. Well done!
This video is better than most documentaries, it's about time you got hired
Hey Alex..i just wanted to say i could sit and listen to you talk about astronomy for hours!!! any chance of some documentary length videos in the future?
So the spirit rover went out in a bad way. In a sense, it got a leg stuck, and struggled to get out, and while another leg was already broken, another one breaks. It's Earth counterpart could be an animal falling in a pit, breaking its leg, struggling to get out, and eventually dying of exhaustion and dehydration.
Hopefully the dragonfly mission to Titan is just as successful!!!
I'm from Westerly RI and the names Block Island and Shelter Harbor are notable places close to each other in tiny Rhode Island. If they aren't named after those places, then it's a hell of a coincidence!
How about a Complete Rover Video/picture dvd or bluray series? Take as much video as possible, catalog it, and sell it? I'd buy it...
They have to edit it, if the video shows too much!! One vid covered the N. pole with black tape, as that was the most populated place!!! On the opportunity rover huge apartment complexes, cars many cities, people and one white goose!! a guy was coming out of his house, and a big goose came around and looked outside, but didn't offer to come out!! On every video I see, I take lots of pics, and send to those on my e-mail list with pointer balls showing houses, cars, towers, cities etc....and am keeping them for the future!!
Thanks
It's really impressive that it lasted for so long.
Trust me it wasn't even there.
Question Everything
Idiot...
@@questioneverything8301 Trust you? Random internet... are you even human? Prove it. NASA is secretly hiding your true identity? Lmao
Great video!
Imagine what SpaceX will send to mars and the footage coming in back wow
Viking 1 was a champ but the torch has to be passed.
They never sent these rovers anywhere. You cannot send a rover beyond Earth´s orbit...
Yatukih001 yes they can 😂 stop with these conspiracy theories
@@blackpagan9689 Not going to happen. The theories now called conspiracy ones will just become part of mainstream history - that is the ones which can be easily corroberated like the transgender ones.

holy shit, i just saw the older videos yesterday and was bummed to see that there was no part iv
Great channel! Thank you Alex
You know what you did to me?? now ill need to wait... whyyyy whyyy?!?!? love this channel
I always thought it was weird that I only heard about Spirit.
And Opportunity was the more interesting one.
The shadow on the thumbnail looks like K-9 from Doctor Who. 😊
Rover's real shadow perhaps?

Great video, subscribed.
never in my life have i ever heard of a piece of machinery that lasted 15 years without needing some type of maintenance to keep it going.
90% of people are dumb sheep. The buy anything of snake governments tell them.
Spirit won the media, Oppy won the hearts.
Brian Wahome oppy oppy won EVERY THING and spirit owned half,
Thanks, Alex! 🔴
! WONDERFULL VIDEO
!!
Another fantastic video. As always seems to be the case, it has information in it that I never knew existed and makes my jaw drop - that Martian eclipse/transit!
Cant wait till the next episode I was just sorta remembering this guy i didnt know he had died sorta lol i cried a little cause i seen the journey of him getting too Mars the liftoff and everything.. I think their was a livestream at one point on here.. anyway I loved that thing it was always so adorable looking and honestly they choose wonderful names for these guys but sadly it gets you attached too them ugh anyway good video and the series is good too
Typhoon Monsoon they’re like space roombas
"TO Mars comma", "I think THERE was a livestream", "attached TO them" No Capitals, No new sentences. "I didn't know he had died sorta lol" How you die sortof? and why is it funny (lol).

Our rovers are never truly dead, they're just missing in action. One day a time shall come when we tread upon the surface of mars, and reclaim our lost journymen. Until then, they rest. Not dead, but dreaming. Dreaming of their reunion with humanity.
Why would they not use bigger wheels.. or wider..
where were you in 2004 when they were designing and testing rovers for the mission on another planet with basically unknown terrain. wheels were designed for 90 sols.
@@LordArioh I stand by my comment... let's break this down smart ass... or you break it down and just think about it... get back to me...
@@LordArioh to answer your question I was in school... and probably busy on the weekends four wheeling through mud and sand at my cabin...
@@jeremiahjohnson6971 well, could've taken a day off and go to NASA to tell them about the wheels. It's not like a bunch of engineers designed them and put through all those tests.
@@LordArioh I knew you would reply.. how bout use wheels that work on every type of surface.... not just hard packed... common sense.. very little critical thinking on that one huh... what the fuck ya got to say bout that one.. my prediction is you have nothing to say if you know I'm right. . And some vomit to spew if your an ignorant know it all...
And yet we have absolutely no idea what's going on in our oceans.......
Finally!! Thank u sir
I am glad this channel exist...What i learn in those 11 min is more than what i read and watch ....thanks astrum
I wish I could go to mars.
I wish I could vacation on Mars and return to earth again (Don't wanna be stuck in small tubes and space suits for the rest of my life. I like real air. Breathing is a habit of mine)

Hi from Sweden
What a great video....very well done....thank you.
finally im waiting for this
What I want to know is who's taken video of the rover as it moves around Mars.
Mustafa Zaimah NASA only produces fake videos and picture. All of them. It is really ridiculous that people believe them.
Me too
It says cgi in the upper right.
That would be the rover. It has 9 cameras in total. You obviously have internet access, so a Google search can give you more information on the types of cameras and what they are used for than I can.
@@daveg2104 Got you
this is fascinating, this video is smarter than me anyday
Mars...my favorite planet! Aside from earth that is... ;)
Pp Ss How many planets do you know about ?
Lynxchillin93 ... define "know of"...
@@Quickened1 Well I wont define "know of" or "know about" but.. My point was, if Mars is your favourite, then I'd assume you'd have good or equal knowledge about a catalogue of other planets to compare and come to your conclusion. I was just wondering how much you knew about Mars and other planets to have made that decision. (I don't know much at all) 😁
Lynxchillin93 ...Haha, ah well, not sure why I typed "of" instead of "about" but I'll chalk it up to a brain fart! As far as the catalogue , I guess I know as much as what I am fed, by the ever emerging technologies that explore them, and what I actually digest! Mars is my favorite planet outside of earth for several reasons, but not necessarily the most interesting from an educational standpoint, which, Saturn tops my list in that regard, due primarily to the Cassini mission. With that said, Mars is intriguing because of its proximity, its composition, and apparent geological activity. Of all the other planets, it is the one most likely to have a man step onto, in my lifetime, I only wish it was I, that could do the stepping... Not to mention, I am an Aries!
@@Quickened1 Thanks for the response, my question was unclear to begin with so I caused all the confusion 😉 I was just trying to be as clear as possoble after that..
I just searched the Cassini stuff and the image of Saturn with The Earth and Moon in the background is amazing !!
Amazing
I waited so long for this masterpiece🤤😂😂
Végtelen szeretet és határtalan egészség minden csodálatos létezőben!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Benned is!
5:15 (Speaking of Spirit) one of it's front wheels jammed only 700 sols into its mission
ONLY? Really? Only 700 sols into it's 90 sol mission. There's nothing 'only' about it.
That's what I was thinking
Oppy and spirit are legends sojourner as the adam of rovers
You Rock!, my not acuainted but still good friend.
Rocks
I m happy to be a part of earth but i m very curious to know is there any life in Mars??
we don't know yet , we're trying to discover bacterias
What they do not say here is, the Rovers expected lifetime was only a few years, and pretty fast the Solar Panels started to be covered of a lair of dust(VERY logic when you think about a sandy blowing winds), which can be seen from a Satelite from above, and drained its battery on several occasions, and then suddenly they are clean and work again? There are several videos of it in here. You see it very dusted, and then suddenly it looks all clean like some 'helped' it. So who cleaned the Panels, and why do they not show the strange pictures of shadows just next to the Rover, + a very clear picture of something looking very much like a Human, a woman no less. But it still keeps going, and the Solar Panels keep getting cleaned. HOW? :)
They expected it to last 90 days and it lasted 15 years. Absolutely amazing and wonderful.
WizzardOfPaws ...not really expected, it just had a 90 day warranty!
@@Quickened1 the video kinda said they expected it to only last that long, they were built for only that long and have far exceeded that design expectation and limitation. Sure there were some errors but they were so well built they almost always had a work around.
Must have been built by Toyota then :-)
@@MrBlindbird Ford. Toyotas don't last for crap.
The Curiosity rover during the dust storm:
This is fine 😐
aaaayyy lets go! new video!
lovely video..congrats!!
I feel like Mars was like Earth and every living thing died on it .
Imagine one day we end up finding a human skeleton buried somewhere on Mars
I am wondering why wheels were chosen vs tracks like a battle tank.
Tracks could easily break/get clogged up with sand
I just wonder how mars will look with trees . Mars seems so peaceful and quite place to live on
Are you trying to creating a war between Earth and Mars
One day these rovers will be in museums we build on mars.
