27 Months On Mars: Flying Over A Mars Rover!
In this episode, Perseverance and Ingenuity make significant discoveries on the Martian delta. Perseverance is occupied with depositing samples for future collection and discovering intriguing substances, while Ingenuity conducts several breathtaking flights over the delta, providing impressive color images.
One of the most notable parts of the episode is when both explorers make their way up the delta through Hawksbill Gap, leading to the discovery of a formation named 'Pinestand.' This feature challenges our understanding of Martian hydrology, as it suggests the existence of an ancient river, larger and faster than any other water system discovered on Mars, flowing into Jezero crater.
The evidence presented in this episode is groundbreaking, demonstrating the scale of water systems on ancient Mars, perhaps rivaling Earth's Mississippi River. This discovery, alongside the visible remnants of what are believed to be sand bars, strongly supports the theory that Mars was once a wet planet.
On Sol 724, plans for a meeting between Perseverance and Ingenuity are revealed, leading to a record-breaking drive by the rover on Sol 728 to witness another flight of Ingenuity. Amidst these achievements, the loss of the rover's hitchhiking pet rock, a small stone that had lodged in the wheel and traveled along for a year, is notably mourned.
Despite minor communication issues due to hilly terrain, Perseverance reaches the Belva crater on Sol 772, and the episode concludes with Ingenuity capturing an image of the rover observing the crater from a distance.

It's so difficult to view these images and think it's actually a completely different planet to the one we live on. Im always blown away seeing real footage of Mars
And here i am. A 28 year old man, feeling sad, sorry, and nostalgic for a rock.
old man hey lololol
Not the pet rock!! You'll be missed little guy!!
*cringes of sesame Street references*
@@ElectricoGamez What?
Just can't get enough of these episodes. Keep up!
❤
yes
I love theses videos Rip Hitchhicker though as a teen who loved space for his whole life these videos make me so excited
Amazing. My childhood love for space is re ignited.
Absolutely love these! RIP hitchhiker, most exciting part of it's existence for thousands of years xD!
It didn't die tho It just got ejected so no worries Our little pet rock is doing well😅
Yeah he was hitchhiking to the Delta but never made it sadly due to the circumstances.
Hello fellow Mars Pioneers, This episode has been a thrill to document! It's not everyday we get discoveries like this on Mars. We've been saying it for years now, Mars had water! Lots of water! Thanks for being a part of this journey with us, and thanks for all your wonderful messages of support. Special thanks to all of you who are supporting us on Patreon, it really means the world! Join here: patreon.com/elderfoxdocumentaries I'd just like to say how grateful I am for all of your support, positive comments, likes, shares and subscribes. We have a great community of like-minded explorers. Too young to explore the Earth, too old to explore the galaxy, but just the right age to explore Mars through theses incredible missions! - ElderFox
I am just so amazed that that little helicopter is still going strong- given that they didn't even know if it could flay at all in such a thin atmosphere- Thanks for these updates, they are concise and really interesting and are my goto info on the Mars Rover mission, rather than troll through all the non useful content on other sites. Keep up the good work.
Please keep the good work up!

Mars is a dead planet. There is nothing except a secret underground Gray base, a hangar for flying saucer ships. I took my son inside this base. There are more than 50 robots inside. The internal scanner system detected my son's presence as a heat spot. He came out like a bolt of lightning. It was only weeks later that the Grays identified that it was my son, and came after him with 3 ships. The Grays even scanned my son's brain. I took my son to the planet Venus, he saw the big and beautiful golden city of Venus with its majestic population. I can take a person to any planet in the solar system. rio de janeiro Brazil
I am the first person to detect past life on Mars and NASA doesn't care. Oh my
RIP pet rock ❤❤
Keep up the great work! Every update is so incredible!
Amazing Alien World
Agreed, humanity don't screw this new world up!

Bruh
This has to be the most important channel in existence..... No gimmicks, no drama just facts!
Ready for the next episode!
Humans are such interesting creatures, I realized just now, when I found myself feeling sad about the pet rock's journey finally ending. I was out here really just personifying and getting attached to a martian rock so far away from me that I can't fully even comprehend the scale- just because it sat in tye wheel of a rover for so long that many people including myself started to see it almost as an unexpected companion rather than just a mildly inconvenient but overall harmless hitchhiker. It's kind of similar to how we have such a strong urge to pet everything with fur that moves, even if it could snap our bones in half with one bite. I imagine aliens probably would find these things both interesting, but also mildly horrifying because of how we could end up endangering ourselves just to boop a lion or something.
If they can get the coordinates of the pet rock, Presevarance and it's pet rock could be in the future museum of mars as early explorers.
I don't know why but this makes me unreasonably happy@@princekhadka5481
Plot twist: the pet rock will consider itself a member of the first nation and will sue Perserverance aka Columbus, so I hope the robot crushes the pet rock with its tank wheels before taking off leaving no evidence.
The best channel to watch for updates on Mars with great narration. I have to keep reminding myself that this is on another planet, and not just in a desert here on Earth, so incredible. Love this channel and this series, I can’t wait for the next update!
This is the most incredible collection of photos and videos. I cannot even fly a drone 100 feet away from me. BRAVO!!!
So invested in the rock stuck in the wheel !! May he rest in peace now hahaha
This is absolutely fascinating!
Thank you for the update videos. Great work and highly informative
I could listen to you describing how to make a cup of tea
Thanks for the kind words. If you know anyone at NASA or SpaceX, I'm available. 🙂
I appreciate the episodes. Haven't missed one of them yet. These videos blow my mind every time.
waiting for the next episode!! thank you so much ElderFox documentaries for this amazing series. 😊❤
What a series...thank you so much 🙏
THAT LITTLE ROVER THAT REALLY COULD. HOW FASCINATING.😮
Thanks!
Wow! Thank you so much! It's really appreciated :)
Its nice to be with you unexpected companion, our adventure was unforgettable. may your future ventures fruit more success. Good luck and good bye my dear friend. - Pet Rocky
Another great video!! Keep up the great work and hope you are doing well.
Farewell OG pet rock
All the national anthems of the people around the world that watch this starts playing for the pet rock
Cant wait to leave this Planet. Thank you for your work!
many of the rocks and boulders look similar to the area where I live. Lots of glaciers caused the rocks to be the shape and way they are. Maybe Mars once to had a great Ice Age?
Could make sense, maybe as mars’ core cooled, just before it’s magnetosphere became too weak to keep water in liquid form, it had a small ice age before then rapidly heating up from the shrinking magnetosphere
góod fir narß
Mars heating up global warming. With out hummans
What a fantastic series, every episode blows my mind WoW ✌️🇬🇧
This is so amazing I have binged all the episode of this series Waiting for the next episode😊 Thank you so much elderfox Keep it up💪
I just realized the high quality of the videos
7:33 SKIPPY!! 😭 You were a good pet rock, the best pet rock. 😆
21 centry oet rock not ife fire other planted real life looked pet Rick's tta
When the rock had made its way into the wheel of the rover, I was a bit annoyed and hoped that it would fall off soon. But now, I genuinely feel bad when it fell off due to sand. I really miss it lol. Its kinda funny that how humans can get attached to non-living entities and show feelings for it.
Tta found pet rock real life form.
I'm from Sri Lanka. thank you very much for these videos. only your channel gave me all the information I needed about the mission. Keep up the good work!! 😍
Wow this is a fantastic video, I am actually watching another world,and it’s history, and perfectly explained for use, thank you everyone involved, I am so impressed, and excited to be able to be part of all this, 🙏👍👍👍 greetings from Grandpa Pete from France 🇫🇷
Thanks for joining us on this journey, Grandpa Pete!

this is fantastic. Great job !
Thank you for sharing xx
Amazing series
Great and fascinating episode!
Thanks for such insightful documentary.
Helicopter. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca’s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this.)
You are awesome! And lucky to have such a good wife. All the best to you!
Love your reviews and summaries. Keep up the great work.
Amazing video thank you so much. This really brings it to life and makes it so exciting and easy to share with others.
Bro..U r videos are just like some gifts thanks for u r research and videos,hope u remember me i am a permanent customer 😊
Thanks!! Great update ❤
Awesome video ! I love it so much . Thank you for sharing . When there is the water on the planet Mars , can you plant also the vegetable on it ? Happy week to you !
Sunrise on Mars looks so cool, like how i imagine Scotland to be like on a dark day.
Excellent video!
Truly amazing, thank you.
Stopped at 1:22 to read All the comments,looking for 1 mentioning the toes/partial footprint at 12:30 on the screen shot,seeing as 1000's saw the 'Face of Mars' for years./Love watching your videos.All information without 'sensationalizing' anything.TY.Alas,we leave 'Arthur Dent' behind to wait for another lift.
So many things about the project that I hadn't understood before. This is a really wonderful series!
One of the best series on youtube
Great summary!
Great, Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Great reporting! Bravo!
This is such a fantastic series. Thank you ElderFox. 👍
Notis on! This is so incredible! Should be the most popular videos on KZhead. Can't believe this stuff isn't front and center in the media. We as humans have a robot and drone sending us footage of Mars! Mars! Incredible stuff
your right but people care more about a rappers break up with a girl then this most people have no interest at all all they do is live with no info in their brain no hunger for information those people are called biomass they are just a plump of meat that do nothing
A fast-moving river on mars? Fascinating stuff and another step closer to potentially identifying signs of at least simpler life forms.
This is on earth...you people make it easy.

This is beyond mind blowing.
Great mosiac. Mind blowing images.
When the rock fell off….it hit me man 😭
Informative session😊😊
Losing the pet rock.... Wilsonnn, wilsonnnn!!!! ::cries::
NOOOOO, THE PET ROCK they should send a new rover to pick it up. maybe drill into it to mark it for future missions D:
Cant wait forthe new video
Love all of your videos, and can't wait for the next one! Excited to see what you make next!
Hell yea 👍🏼👍🏼
Beautiful! ❤
Amazing camera photos❤
It took me too long to find this channel!
Can't wait for the close meet up, on moment of silence for our pet rock we will miss you ❤
Given all that has happened since the 'birth' of the universe, I wonder what the actual odds were of that specific rock ending up being trapped inside a robot's wheel.
My number 1 channel
See you in a couple Elder Fox!!😊
Wow
We shall now name the rock, ROCKY!!!
Sorry. I already named it Rockmaninov.
@@Frankie5Angels150 Oh.
@@Frankie5Angels150 I was thinking of Rock Hudson as he was the star of the show for a while.
The little rock hitchhiker just said "Oh hey, this is my stop!" and jumped out. "Thanks for the ride". You're welcome little hitchhiker, enjoy your new view. Courtesy of your friends from Earth.
Fantastic
I wish we could know everything. Any time I watch these videos, I tend to think about how I’ll never live to see and understand the entire universe. It’s incredibly sad knowing that. Hopefully humankind can keep each other alive long enough so a future generation does.
I know exactly what you mean. This always brings up the idea of being immortal/living for ever. I would gladly accept it, just to see how far humanity can come.
Wish i could just study and learn this forever without worrying about money!
I'm definitely no NASA scientist, but I honestly believe the exploration of Valles Marineris is important in the search for proof of life, past or present, on Mars; I think it has a lot of potential and could offer some amazing discoveries.
Yes it water is life
Very nice and detailed video , unfortunately useless videos on youtube has billion veiws , but very few people were intreaseted in such technology
Amazing 😮
I remember watching the coverage of the moon landings. They were amazing. I hope to see humans returning to the moon and landing on Mars.
Without the yellow filter I'm standing in the Wyoming plains, but with the filter I'm on Mars
That's right
2 months without any update ... we need more Inner Solar System vloggs and we need them now
Awesome footage! Absolutely stunning
Space agencies should hold auctions for naming the pet rocks for some additional funding
Awesome

Dash Riprock was one of the movie star characters on the Flintstones cartoon. He was supposed to be based on Rick Hudson but was not gay, as far as we can tell. There was also Stoney Curtis!
pleaseeeee mannn make them longer
I love all the names .,. Jesero crater ,,,Sprinkle Haven .
@ElderFox Documentaries are these recent videos from Mars?
Mars is so interesting and is the only planet other than Earth where humans can live. Wish it was more Earth like. It's a perfectly good location for a life bearing planet but is too small to have a magnetic core for protection from the the Sun's radiation. It's kinda weird as planets usually get larger as their distance from the Sun increases.
