    We sold JPL specially configured computer systems back from 95 to 2000. One thing I learned that is still true today is that you have to have people that absolutely love what they are doing to be not only successful but great. When our CEO left who was a computer nerd, bumped out by the parent company, the product lost its individuality, its special touch and the business crashed. Really a sad story.

    What a fascinating story!
    As a communications person I spent many hours at the NASA Sunnyvale/Mountain View site. It was fascinating and fun. I've been in that wind tunnel and walked around in there - I had this fear the entire time that someone was going to slam the door, lock it and turn on the huge fan!
    Now that I'm retired,watching these tense meetings is bringing back some less than pleasant feelings. At least the men and women were building and launching something very special that fires humanity's imagination, and benefits us all.
    (Edited for additional comments.)
    The more I watch this vid, the more I get an appreciation for high-stakes nature of a project like this. Asking for millions of dollars, hoping every bit of the project works not just the way it should, but perfectly, Timetables which are barely able to be made,
    etc...Lol, I got tense watching much of it.

For example, the first suborbital flights were atop the "EdStone Rocket" (see what I did there?), there will be solar system missions such as the Porco Solar Probe and (naturally) the Casani mission to Saturn. Not sure what to do with Gentry Lee; he definitely needs honouring.

    I've got to ask. Why is the channel now monetized to where we're seeing ads played in the middle of the video about every 10 minutes? If that's the case who's making the money because RUclips has to pay you to advertise over your content. The last time I checked JPL is a government-funded research facility for NASA. As much as jpl like's to pretend that they're an independent agency they are not. So who's receiving the funds from the advertisement Revenue and how does this work?

      @@administratorshan I'm not sure you have a real appreciation of the complexity, weight and cost of your proposed solution. Your "simple paint brush" is a significant robotic device. Just have a really deep think about what you're proposing it does, how that can be achieved in reality and the complexity it would add to what's already an incredibly complex spacecraft design. It would indeed take "high tech nasa [sic] research" to implement on a Mars rover. Simpler solutions could be found in air blowing devices and wipers more like those on an automobile, and I'm fairly sure those were proposed, but even those are still too complicated, heavy and costly for what is quite a trivial purpose - well, at least a purpose not worth the cost and addition of so many more points of potential failure that come with the addition of a robotic cleaning system, or the like.
      I agree it sounds like an obvious and very simple solution. Just in reality, it's not the least bit "simple".

    • @administratorshan
      @administratorshan 2 года назад

      @@PBeringer yes I agree, though it would not be so simple to us, for a professional team who nailed a skycrane landing sequence, a brush attached to the robotic arm is a walk in the park. with the added cost and weight, given the benefits of adding 5 or more years of life to the rover, that would have been the best deal ever in my opinion. It could have been a separate light robotic arm added to the side, leaving zero points of failure to other functionalities arising from this system
