Wow, thank you so much for making this Scott, best Curiosity video I've seen. Quite moving to be able to grasp just how much ground it's covered and all the science it's achieved so far. Really raises my hopes and expectations for Perseverance.
Curiosity shares the same birthday as me. It used to play happy birthday to itself on August 5th every year. I'm not sure if it still does, but I have a strong connection to this lonely rover just sciencing it's way up the mountain. Rove well my friend.
This is the earliest I've been on one of Scott's videos. Great! And it's a video on Curiosity, the other plucky little rover that could - even better! When we go to Mars and have a colony, we should definitely make a statue of Curiosity and Opportunity, or at least put them in a museum on Mars dedicated to extraterrestrial exploration and humanity becoming a space-fearing race. Glossing over the negatives, we live in exciting times.
Those pictures, especialy the last one, are absolutly sureal. It just tickels the geoscientist in me and says. "come to me and explore me". Just no words for what they doing there. Its insane.

1:33 @Scott Manley I just read a report detailing the details of every camera on Perseverance... Details are very interesting especially the commercial off the shelf nature of the EDL cameras. The EDL cameras are literally a bunch of modified flir cameras hooked up via USB to either of 2 intel atom powered EDL computers (one on rover, one on skycrane stage, with custom enclosure of course), with an ethernet cable dangling down the skycrane to connect the 2 computers, and the rover EDL computer being equipped with a 480GB SSD (report writes NVM, but I assume its NVMe). Also, the EDL mic is on USB as well. Performance of EDL cameras is mostly at least 30 fps for every camera (3 parachute cameras & 1 downward camera on skycrane/backshell; 1 rover up camera & 1 rover down camera) with varying resolutions on each camera. The report also has a lot of fascinating detail on the motives, design goals, specifications and operations of each of the cameras, and also discussed heritage MER/MSL cameras. The article even mentions that the old MER rovers (Spirit and Opportunity) actually had EDL cameras in the form of the MER DIMES system, which was new to me even though I've followed MER rovers closely. As for Mars 2020, all engineering cameras (Nav cams, hazcams) now support full colour imaging, better resolutions, and better field of views. Many more interesting things in the article, and I highly recommend all to give it a read: link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11214-020-00765-9
I can't wait for archaeologists of a Martian civilized species 3 billion years from now finding remnants of this rover, then sending a rover to Earth to search river deltas for signs of ancient life.
We understand things by anthropomorphising. It's natural. Some do the same with the idea of God, or even with their own lives. It's just things that happen.
It lived a much longer and more productive lifespan than it was expected to, and longer than its sibling, Spirit. It was kinda sad to see it go but it had a good life while it lasted.
@@alecfromminnenowhere2089 Yeah same sort of fate as Galileo both gone forever in the depths of a gas giant falling and heating up in the atmosphere until they reached neutral buoyancy and or got torn apart and or evaporated by the fast winds high pressures and temperatures in their respective gas giants. They might only exist in the form of a dispersion of metal hydrides increasingly scattered through the depths of the planet. Even if you could hypothetically make a craft able to explore those environments there probably isn't anything left having been turbulently mixed with all the other materials that have crashed into their respective planets
I cant wait to see what Perseverance brings us. I watched the SN9 test a few minutes ago and commented that even though I'm almost 43 I truly believe I will see us become an interstellar species. It's very exciting to see what comes next
Cool! Thanks for sharing this information. I work with GPS tracks in Canada (making the proposed National Cycling Route Network - Bike Across Canada Route Network) is so big the length could be seen from orbit. It's great to see how far this rover has gone, and amazing how the Martians living under the surface have been so quiet about this. :)
I'm so excited ..... UAE's probe Hope, China's Tianwen-1 mission and NASA's mission of course ... and all that in just a few weeks !!! Fingers crossed that all three missions will succeed. It are exciting times for us space lovers. :-) Many thanks from the Netherlands Scott, keep up the good work buddy !!
It'd be cool to see these things recovered by people many years after their mission is complete. Good thing about very little surface water and atmosphere means they should be relatively well preserved until then.
Scott - after just reading an article about yesterday's SN9 flight in our national, public media outlet "ARD" (that we actually HAVE TO pay money for, it's not a choice) which ONLY wrote about the explosion at the end, talking about a "sensitive setback" for SpaceX not mentioning or putting into perspective what the flight itself and all the stuff that actually went right means - THIS WAS EXACTLY the video I needed !! Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm, all the work you put into this and the joy in your voice about those little discoveries like finding the tiny dot in the image that is the heatshield. "probably has zero scientific value" - but man THIS IS SO COOL :D
I pity everyone who can't appreciate the awesome, positive things humanity is capable of doing. not everything is bad in the world. and not everyone is afraid of failure to walk the road of progress and advance our future on this planet and beyond.
Thanks Scott - great post! FYI Mt Sharp isnt a central peak rebound, its actually the remant part of a sediment pile laid down within the crater over millions of years. Everything else around it has since been eroded away, leaving the "peak" .
I don't know how much science value that panorama looking back on the way it came up has, but it sure is cool. The 3D modeled landscapes are really cool too. I kinda want to learn how to make interactive web programs like that.
Good luck Perseverence! It seems silly to leave geological samples for later retrieval. Picking up the samples is easy. Any later mission that can return samples can get its own samples.
This is great! I was wondering about this just the other day, and I think you did a pretty good breakdown! Looking forward to the landing of it's twin and sidekick!

I worked on Curiosity. My job was to design the PCBs that controlled explosive bolts used to deploy elements of the spacecraft during entry into the Martian atmosphere and landing.

I'm currently way behind on following this mission (used to follow it every day since its landing in 2012, but then life got in the way, and now I'm catching up on the Planetary Society Blogs -- I'm currently in 2016, so to know it's finally climbing up Mt Sharp is amazing)! I'm guessing you've heard of Emily Lakdawalla? She'd love to know of the image processing work you've done on the landing footage! Just stumbled across your channel and I love it! I'm not big on rockets but I really love the Planetary Science stuff and the news you show! Cheers!
you get my like on "probably have zero scientific value knowing this , but i think it was cool " haha 5:05, i like this kind of content Scott
I worked on Curiosity. My job was to design the PCBs that controlled explosive bolts used to deploy elements of the spacecraft during entry into the Martian atmosphere and landing.
Thanks for this Scott! This was a very interesting video.
what an amazing video scott, bravo
