Mars: What happened to the Spirit Rover?
'I can't move and it's getting cold'.
If the Spirit rover could speak, this is what it would have said.
Our story begins in 2004, January 4th.
The spirit rover slams into the dusty surface of Mars, bouncing on it’s airbags 28 times before coming to rest.
It landed about 13 kilometres away from the targeted site, in the Gusev Crater.
The team at NASA informally named the landing site ‘Columbia Memorial Station’, in honour of the astronauts who were lost in the Columbia disaster, just the year before in 2003.
After a successful landing, Spirit opens its eyes. This is the first colour image Spirit captured, which was, at that time; the highest definition image ever taken on another planet.
So far the mission was running smoothly, but that was all about to change.
On January 21st, Spirit’s 17th Martian day, mission control suddenly lost contact with the rover.
The next day, Spirit sent a short beep, confirming that it had received a signal from Earth but that the rover believed it was in some sort of fault mode.
At the time, NASA engineers speculated that the rover was stuck in a reboot loop. Spirit was programmed to restart if it detected a fault, but if that fault occurred during reboot, it would continue to reboot indefinitely.
This meant that the rover was not going into sleep mode, therefore wasting it’s energy and running the risk of overheating. This error was taken very seriously and could have signalled the end of Spirit’s journey.
Luckily, on Spirit’s 19th day, the team at NASA announced that the problem was actually with Spirit’s flash memory, and the issue was software related. The fix was as easy as deleting some files carried on the rover’s flash drives and reformatting the system.
By day 32, Spirit was back up and running.
Spirit would go on to make more discoveries and run into more trouble, watch the video to see spirit's full journey.

Spirit: I have to go to bed now see you tomorrow Last online: *11 years ago*
you didnt have to make me cry like that
😔
:(
The true pain of playing games
Yo add me Ok Last online: since i fucking added this guy lmao(plus It was'nt 75 years ago when we died tragically on world war 2 or 1)
“You should only last 90 days spirit” Continues to work for 6 years like a BOSS Stop replying to this comment if it has nothing to do with the topic above
When u have 99 stamina
When your maxed out but your playing arena on hard
you should last 2 years opportunity *lasts 14 years*
Spent billions on a project to make a probe that was designed to last 90 days smh
Damn, that rover was lucky to survive that long. us humans wouldn't even survive an hour considering we don't have high technology and machines.
Spirit is like that one online friend you had that you basically grew up with, he says “I’ll see you tmr morning” and then he’s just never online again, but you always remember him
That's soo emotional 🤧😫
It’s kind of scary to think that life could have existed on Mars once long ago.. and now it looks like that. Cold, barren, Empty, lonely.

The rover doesn't actually speak, as it states in the description "If spirit rover could talk, this is what it would've said"
@@forkenstein I know, I just thought it was kind of scary, as if Spirit was sentient, which makes it scarier than just the plain statement itself.
Space is literally the most fascinating thing ever. It’s just an empty desert, but it’s so cool to see. I really wish we could find other life forms out there
there are other life forms out there 100% we just dont have the technology to get to them or contact them and neither do they most likely
i wish we could really go there like we’re able to go to other countries; i wish it was like that with planets lol
Europa is a place where possibly alien life could exist
@@nessaflom9002 one day we will I believe. Just don’t know if we will be alive by that time.
Well im 20% sure theres life on titan (thé moon of saturn) or kepler-22B which Will take us 6000 years to get to kepler tho but its à giant super earth type planet kepler has océans with clear water like earth has grass its in thé proxima-centauri-B solar system and kepler is in thé habitat zone and even has clouds but titan is like small mars with water and is à moon of saturn and both planets have à atmosphere exept titan
Two things: gotta love how every aspect of this mission was carried to learn into the next ones, including the precursor for a crane landing, the bouncy ball, which brings me to ... holly shit, you have got to give the engineers over at NASA every spec of respect for making a device able to suck up all that punishment upon landing. We'd have to get all our bones set 15 times over if we'd bounce half as much as that rover did. Amazing.

@@brandonchan5387 Yes there is a cgi national geography documentary
For a vehicle that was intended for only 90 days, 6 years is so much longer, gotta give credit to the NASA team who kept the machine operating.
At first, i thought it would be super easy for a robot to survive in mars, because there are not many things there that could possibly damage it. Like, it's just a cold desert where nothing really moves, and there are no animals, no rain, no overheated surfaces. It turns out the sand and the extreme cold can be pretty damaging.

The Spirit rover, also known as the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) A, was one of two robotic Mars rovers launched by NASA in 2003 as part of the Mars Exploration Rover program. The mission's goal was to search for signs of past water and to study the Martian geology. Spirit landed on Mars on January 4, 2004, in Gusev Crater and operated for more than six years, far exceeding its original 90-day mission plan. Spirit's main scientific objective was to study the history of water on Mars. The rover's instruments were used to study the composition of rocks and soil, search for evidence of past water, and examine the planet's geology. Spirit was equipped with several scientific instruments, including a panoramic camera, a rock abrasion tool, a Moessbauer spectrometer, an alpha particle X-ray spectrometer, a Mössbauer spectrometer, a miniature thermal emission spectrometer, and a magnetic field sensor. During its mission, Spirit discovered that the planet had a more varied geology than previously thought and also found evidence of past water in the form of minerals that only form in the presence of water. The rover also discovered evidence of volcanic activity on Mars. Spirit rover's mission was declared complete on May 25, 2011, after it got stuck in a sand trap, and NASA was unable to free the rover and restore full mobility. However, it had greatly exceeded its planned mission lifetime of 90 days, and it had returned a wealth of scientific data and images that helped to greatly increase our understanding of Mars.

Well there are 7 billion people but only one spirit
@@aperturescienceguy2737 all 7 billion people are different and there is only one of everyone.
I really hope that one day, either a rover or human would pay a visit to Spirit or Opportunity.
Spirit will be so far corroded atrophy of time by the time humans arrive! I'm talking 100's of years in the future. Mars is a tough tough place to get too!.
And recover it, and make it live again. People have spent many years working on it. Its time we give back.
Idk if they can or make a new rover to save one of them, I dont think the perseverance rover can because it already launched and idk if they made something on the rover to save another rover.
I believe we might see a manned mission to Mars during the next couple of decades. I would break into crocodile tears if the mission finds Oppy.
@@LucasGonzalezA no chance. As the very well informed astronaut Jim lovell said quote "don't be holding your breath on a manned mission to Mars". The enormous challenge of getting people to another planet for the first time is mind blowing. The distance, our limitations in terms of velocity, long term radiation exposure, logistics I. E food, water, oxygen and other essentials not to mention your utilities on board for an 18 month round trip to a planet which at its nearest orbital position is around 38 million miles away. Then there's of course the unforseen dangers, I. E space debris hitting the craft, tensions within the crew, and long term effects of zero to little gravity on Mars. Dust storms are a potential life threatening event on the surface of Mars, which the dust is far more minute and can pose a problem to the lander and affect mechanisms on the transport vehicle which departs mars on the return to the mars orbiter. Decades I believe you need to disbelieve after this message. These are only some of the many others, the phrase no room for error may have a emphasis, anyone, especially the first astronauts, cosmonauts, teikmonauts will need and then some. Oh I forgot mars temperature makes the Antarctica feel like the Sahara desert. Your on Mars with the knowledge that if your exposed to Mars atmosphere you die! Youll be in some kind of cumbersome suit for the duration of your stay on Mars, and you'll need plenty of warmth for your stay or you'll die!. Welcome to Mars!
Opportunity, Spirit, and individuals who worked on these projects, are some of the greatest explorers to ever live or function. True heroes and testaments to humankind.

I think one of the things we should aim to achieve, if we ever plan to visit Mars, is to retrieve Spirit and Opportunity to be returned to Earth. It'd be a monumental achievement.
Spirit is the same age as me. 18 years. Wow. Stay strong buddy help is coming
I like to think that one day someone will come along and wipe off all the dust, face it towards the sun and whisper "you're finally awake, you tried crossing with two broken wheels." Like a stray lost puppy.
Sir, you have a problem... A good problem
that's so cute ngl
Thanks for the idea
Someday when we make it to mars... someone might happen across spirit, wondering what they've found, and when they wipe off the dust they'll find a rover, lost to the martian storms but somewhat preserved by the coating of dust

It's crazy to think about how the rocks you see in the pictures are older than every civilization on our planet, and yet nobody has ever seen them until now, nor have they been disturbed for probably millions of years you know? It's like, 3am rn so I may not be making sense but like damn, that's a whole other planet, millions of miles away from every person who's ever lived and died, completely alone and undisturbed
Imagine Spirit randomly got communication again by an alien fixing it.
There is no life on Mars sadly
@@DailyDoseofShortsVideos we cant proove that just yet.
@@decayy4261 microbial life, maybe. complex, intelligent life? No.
FlamesGay Very unlikely sadly. An alien would probably be terrified of the “Mysterious Object” at first. They wouldn’t know where it came from. Plus, it’s unlikely they could figure out how it works before Humans come to Mars, and find them. Even if the Alien was very advanced, it’s unlikely they would know how exactly how it works. So not only they couldn’t fix it, it’s likely they wouldn’t want to. But hey... I will be honest, that’s a very interesting and fully concept to imagine!
Kill3r Bamb1 Agreed from a truthful and scientific perspective. I know that’s the truth. While it’s really fun to imagine what would happen if Aliens would be on Mars, I know it’s impossible. But hey, it’s still fun to think about.

I feel like what really gets people when it comes to the Rovers isn't the fact that they're just robots or anything because we know that. I think it's the idea of leaving anything on a desert planet by itself with nobody around it to help it. Even a robot. Like in my mind despite the fact that they're just electronics being powered by people on another planet, these things are so important that you actually get emotional when you realize that they're left to rot on these planets

@@alishashenoy I know it seems hard that why would someone get feelings for a machine.Well yeah, remember one thing that the machine wasn't justa machine but a legend who survived on Mars at ridiculous conditions. We are still oblivious to the atmosphere of Mars but staying at Martian surface and exploring so many things , that also just by machine makes a person feel proud about it
Yeah ,I felt the feeling for opportunity too. I hope that some day I would go on Mars and might bring those legendary rovers back. Seriously , I am heartfelt 😢 ♥
@@alishashenoy it’s not just any old machine. It’s a multi million dollar created man made “machine” that is basically a human brain on wheels. It took the smartest humans on our planet to create this one of a kind machine. We were actually able to create a machine that has human senses like touch, feel, see, hear and probably smell of some kind lol... it is just amazing how we can send something millions of miles away from our planet and have it survive so long on its own. I mean it’s the only man made thing on the entire planet.
This is a story of joy and a story of loss. A story of determination. This is the story of a little rover named Spirit.

As a rover, I can confirm this is sad
Bro I really want them to bring him back and all the other rovers. Those little guys did so much 😢
I really hope to see him get rescued. Hold on little friend.
@HAILE HAILE 🤦🏼♂️🤣
I really believe that in less than 100 years he will be rescued and preserved but this time by humans ❤️
Hes my favorite because he has a story more interesting than alot of others in my opinion
Imagine if the Preserverence found spirit
@@jaakkohaapasalo1873 well it cant fix it
Spirit was like The Little Engine That Could. He was a rockstar.
Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of the Spirit rover landing, back in 2004, (2004-2024), the rover landed at the Guesev crater (correct me if I’m wrong), the rover’s landing spot was nicknamed Columbia memorial station, during its 6 years travelling, the rover got stuck, after a long time of being stuck, it turned off, unable to turn it back on, the concluded the mission in 2011, the rover’s legacy would live on 04/01/2004 - 04/01/2024
Right away I start feeling like life was there at some point. All of this is amazing.
I was trying my best to keep that little guy safe Edit: Dude- I don’t deserve this much likes, tysm ^^ I kinda regret quitting being mars LOL (Weird sentence)
It’s ok Edit Jesus Christ! This is almost more likes then my most liked comment Thx

You tried your best, and your best was good enough. Please wake up spirit. Bring him back to us.
