NASA's most advanced Mars rover Curiosity has landed on the Red Planet. The one-ton rover, hanging by ropes from a rocket backpack, touched down onto Mars Sunday to end a 36-week flight and begin a two-year investigation.
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) spacecraft that carried Curiosity succeeded in every step of the most complex landing ever attempted on Mars, including the final severing of the bridle cords and flyaway maneuver of the rocket backpack.
"Time to see where Curiosity will take us." How's that for a quote? Marvellous stuff indeed.
"Touchdown confirmed, we are safe on Mars."
Imagine how they slept after that lol
This is a very special moment for mankind!!! Thousands of people from Universities around the world was watching this too and had tears in their eyes and had after it mars landing parties, for example my friends in Vienna! Nice greetings to the rest of the world and to the NASA Team! I am here in Bangkok. We watched it too and had a party after it too ...
it's emotional simply because this is one of man's greatest exploration successes. it's a mark on history.
Did you kinow that the entire budget for this mission isn't even 0.1% of the military budget? just saying, yeah?
hard to believe this was 3 years ago
It's hard to believe NASA.
I love how at 3:08 one person just starts awkwardly celebrating before everyone else! :D
As a player of Kerbal Space Program, my respect for these men and women just increased tenfold.
i love how they're so passionate about their jobs!
Just wondering if you ever actually know what you're talking about before you speak? This is a remarkable achievement that will go down in the history of mankind as astonishing - and it cost $7 per American over the course of a few years. That's right..... 7 whole hard earned dollars. The war in Iraq, by comparison, will cost each of us around $12,000. The $850 billion Wall Street bailout cost more than NASA's entire 54-year existence. I would rather choose to spend 7 dollars.
I got something in my eye..
Congratulations to the Curiosity team. Great job, folks. You made us all very proud.
The live stream of this event WAS AWESOME!!!!
Congratulations JPL and all of the engineers and scientists involved! What an amazing accomplishment and thanks for the video leading up to it and streaming the JPL control center.
this is a incredible achievement, an example of human ingenuity and technology can do together. This is but a small step and I hope this rover will answer the questions we be having for years. Congrats to the team.
Way to go guys !! You did an amazing job, congrats.... We all are so proud of you !!!
5:18 I think thats the happiest anyone's ever been for "having thumbnails"
i've never seen such an emotional moment, beautiful.
"It's time to see where curiosity will take us". Thank you NASA.
Curiosity truly is an amazing feat of engineering! Congrats NASA on getting another Lander on Mars safely!
Wonderful. Simply amazing. My 7 year old daughter has already been inspired with the thoughts of a robot on another planet. This is what being human and an American should be all about. Go NASA!
We need more of this.
What an awesome accomplishment! Congrats to all who were involved.
2:57 Fuk li, i love that name on his computer lol.
"we have thumbnails! we have thumbnails!" awesome So proud of you GO team Curiosity!
This is an amazing step in space exploration. Mars has been somewhat a mystery for so long.
Tears of joy, go humanity, go science and go NASA! I applaud to everyone involved, this makes me proud to be human a being.
3:11 ^ Magical button that gives you goosebumps!
Just felt a pure sense of humanity. Wish I were there in that control room. My soul goes to curiosity!!! :)
Just want to offer my congratulations to NASA JPL and everyone who contributed to this phenomenal accomplishment. GREAT JOB!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! AWESOME ACCOMPLISHMENT!!! GO NASA!
This is when they get to take a break and watch their hard work all come together.
Congratulations NASA and all those who put so much time into making this difficult landing possible. What an incredible feat.
I like how everyone is at there station doing important things... and the second it lands there is a hi five orgy for 10 minutes. I'm not hating, in fact i am glad to see it.
During landing the cameras have been used for real-time tracking for control & landing using AI on-board. Since that requires fast processing (so as to ensure that the rover sees the ground and responds quickly so that it lands correctly), only the minimal image is taken using those camera during landing and the images are not stored either (that would require additional processing power). So the smaller rear & front cameras are minimalistic and landing images are discarded. Hope this helps.
3:09 one man spoiler celebration!
This video has half a million views, but a video of a panda sneezing has 150 million?... Sigh... Humanity.
This was a lot of fun to watch. I have a lot of respect for those who devote their lives to something like this. On another note, we're one step closer to finding those Prothean ruins so there's that.
Congratulations !. Prayers and Wishes for the Team.
In a sentence most and most brilliant sons of HOLLY GOD. I want to reach in their position.
To all the people who are talking here about god ... Stay in your self created virtual world and be happy with it, but let us people, who use the brain, out of it. We don't want to be included in your world, which is anyway cruel ... This here is sience and nothing else!
This here is NASA and nothing else.
+Real Kadoozy Im Atheist...Deal with it..
+FrankyBKK *tips fedora* Truly epic ;^)
its cute how theyre all congradulating each other
Superb. Congratulations to everyone involved. Very proud.
Congratulations! This is a great achievement!
Very cool to see this new landing technique work. Good sign for future missions and I can't wait 'til the big guns start sending back images.
Everyone involved in space exploration is the Columbus (Leif Ericson, for all you history know it alls) of our time. Good work JPL! I'd like to give an extra shout out to the engineers not in this video, who put in years of work and brain power to make this mission possible!
It is just wonderful seeing this. Wow. Great work. Really.
most memorable and influential moment of 2012 ^__^
One giant foot step for Mankind. It's a happy day for humanity and science. Wish you all the success from here in Kuwait!
Absolutely amazing!
Awesome Guys, fantastic mission!!
Watched this live at a Mars Landing Party at the Victorian Space Science Education Centre yesterday. Was some pretty epic viewing!
Absolutely amazing, such genius involved. Another advance into the robotic revolution.
i saw it live but then and now, you can't help but feel their excitement and happiness. :)
It is really awesome when you stop and think about what they accomplished.
Yes, a few. But this is the largest and by far the most advanced rover ever. It's called the Mars Science Laboratory, because it's literally a chemistry lab on wheels. And because it's so big, it needed a much more elaborate landing method. It was a phenomenal work of engineering, and it'll be exciting to see what Curiosity finds.
this is awesome Way to go NASA
beautiful work :)
Congrats to NASA for all the hard work!
How is it that one of the most amazing feats of science only gets 541 thousand hits? How is this not the most amazing thing ever???
Well done people. This is an awesome achievement.
Ooh yes! Congratilations from Lithuanian Vilnius university, physics students. We wish you lots of luck with this project. :)
I love the guys at 3:28 such passion. Even if you don't care about this project, so great to see!! :)
Lots of love there!
indeed!
Parabéns a todos que participaram do projeto, que estas imagens possam correr o mundo, estou sentindo um grande orgulho por vocês, por nós e por todos. Que a humanidade possa fazer mais coisas boas como estas, possam usar a inteligência para o bem. Grande abraços, vocês são os caras.
The best feeling ever. Bravo folks.
I like how that one guy cheered early Great video though, HUGE ADVANCEMENT FOR ALL OF US
A purely amazing feat when you consider the past 50 years of our technology. Amazing!
So yeah, I think the reaction from the controllers was appropriate. Also: they were happy to see the photo because they weren't sure if they would get back Hazcam images in the first pass of the satellites. It's more than just a picture, it's valuable data. But I guess I cant expect you to actually *know* any of this widely available information.
One word: Amazing.
@GrungeManic Do you know of any videos or photos of this taking place?
Love seeing people win so big.
Never before and never again will the phrase "We've got thumbnails!" be met with cheers.
Good job, NASA! Congratulations!
Viking, in the 70s, two of them. We've since sent a toaster oven size rover, two golf cart size and now a car size rover. The imagery from Spirit and Opportunity (landed in 2003) is nothing short of amazing. Curiosity will trump that if all systems are working. It can even shoot 720p HD video. Not too shabby. :)
this mission could not have been possible without the brilliant minds of the people who were able to make it a reality, open a new era for human exploration, those who say otherwise didnt even have the mind to graduate high school
it's a lot bigger and has more instruments (a lot more) than any rover before. i recommend reading the wikipedia article (in parts).
Awesome. Simply awesome.
The Mars reconnaissance orbiter received the data, but is going to retransmit later. The live transmission relay was accomplished using the Odyssey orbiter.
Well done!
Outstanding! I have a Chevy Suburban I would like to have delivered.
That was a lot of words to say "Yes.".
Yeah Buddy!
money well spent NASA Congrats Curiosity and all who have and will work on her God bless
This is probably the funnest job ever
so like the colors on earth that makes the cameras look so good, I get you now, thanks for replying, :) always thought the different haha
Congratulations,This is a real life example of individuals cooperating to achieve a finite goal of substance much different from the virtual world of fantasy in which more and more choose to live. I thank God there is still hope.
He's the flight director for the MSL mission. totally badass.
Great job NASA, this is a proud moment
I don't know if any of you NASA people will ever read this, but you're awesome. Not only you created and landed a car on mars, you're inspiring millions of kids to follow your footsteps. Thank you.
Look at those faces, big kids realising their childhood dreams became true.
Can't wait for the HD colored pics
This is during the "7 minutes of terror". The computers in the rover are doing the work for the landing because it's a process that has to be so precise that humans can't do that. The reason they aren't doing anything because during landing all they can do is wait and hope everything went perfect.
It's the M.A.R.S Nerd Convention, & I'm with them!! Was at the Open House June 09, 2012 at JPL.. Very Interesting Been knowing about JPL since 1983-2012 29 years! Horray!
Wow Jack Parsons would be proud. Way to go JPL
how so? this mission is a significant step in the right direction for space travel, it could also yield new information into the nature of potential life on Mars. It may also provide significant information into the geological properties of Mars...
One of the things I like most about this video is that not every single person is holding a cellphone filming the same thing. The other thing I like most about this video is that the rover landed on Mars.
just one question, I may be stupid , but why don't they use hd camera like the ones on earth, with 1080 reso and bright colors ,
