The Perseverance rover and its Ingenuity helicopter are finally on the journey to Mars.

The spacecraft carrying the rover and helicopter successfully launched to Mars Thursday morning aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 7:50 a.m. ET.

After nearly 300 million miles (470 million km), NASA's Perseverance rover completes its journey to Mars on Feb. 18, 2021. But to reach the surface of the Red Planet, it has to survive the harrowing final phase known as Entry, Descent and Landing.

Landing On Mars Like You've Never Seen It Before

here is the first video NASA supposedly released, that has 17 million views.

til they declared it was fake.

What NASA did not release over the weekend, however, was a video panning across the surface of Mars accompanied by the sounds of Martian wind.

That viral clip, which has been seen tens of millions of times on Twitter alone, is a misleading doctoring of images taken years ago by Curiosity, which has been roaming around another part of Mars.

While the images are actually from Mars, they’re panoramic stills stitched together to look as though the rover is panning around itself. The sound of wind added to the images is completely fake, as Curiosity is not equipped with microphones.

I mean, I'm sorry i know its crazy to think everything NASA does is bullshit, especially when they always have truthworthy jew adminstrators.

I mean I'm sure the faggots in power can manage to hire some legit scientists to carry out things like this, but you see how much the faggots push this lately which just makes me suspicious, faggots and jews NEVER push something like that unless it's some kind of hoax.

It's just when you see the control room, and every single person there is wearing a fucking mask to protect them from imaginary jew COVID it tends to make me have questions.

Also, NASA pushes that global warming bullshit like a cult.

but yeah yeah, I'm sure it's real and everything but who fuckin cares, bunch of scientists working for faggots and jews managed to land on Mars, so what, fuck them.

they gonna ruin that planet too?

One thing for sure, even if they did land a rover there and it really works, this Mars exploration thing is going to just be another bottomless black hole or Jews to suck your life out of you through expenditures.

They staged this whole 'Star Wars' thing in the 80's, 90's, spend trillions and nobody ever asked, where the fuck is it? Where is the proof ANY of this was real??

How could they spend trillions of dollars on Strategic Defense Initiative and there's nothing actually there?

Russia pretended it was super real and they pretended to beg US no,no, NOT STAR WARS omergawd.

In the video, Scott Manley mentioned the Skycrane descent stage reminded him of the Dropship from the 1986 science-fiction film Aliens. It reminds me a little of the Eagle transporters from Space: 1999. And after it deposits the rover on the surface, the descent stage flies off and crashes and blows up exactly like the Eagles on the show usually did.

Long piece from WIRED explaining why (from the layman's point of view) there won't be much to see. Maybe they should have just borrowed the cameras they took to the moon landings.

The rover is studded with a couple dozen cameras—25, if you count the two on the drone helicopter. Most of them help the vehicle drive safely. A few peer closely and intensely at ancient Martian rocks and sands, hunting for signs that something once lived there. Some of the cameras see colors and textures almost exactly the way the people who built them do. But they also see more. And less. The rover’s cameras imagine colors beyond the ones that human eyes and brains can come up with. And yet human brains still have to make sense of the pictures the cameras send home.

To find hints of life, you have to go to a place that was once likely livable. In this case, that’s Jezero crater. Three or four billion years ago, it was a shallow lake with sediments streaming down its walls. Today, those are cliffs 150 feet tall, striated and multicolored by those sediments spreading and drying across the ancient delta.

Those colors are a geological infographic. They represent time, laid down in layers, stratum after stratum, epoch after epoch. And they represent chemistry. NASA scientists pointing cameras at them—the right kind of cameras—will be able to tell what minerals they’re looking at and maybe whether wee Martian beasties once called those sediments home. “If there are sedimentary rocks on Mars that preserve evidence of any ancient biosphere, this is where we’re going to find them,” says Jim Bell, a planetary scientist at Arizona State University and the principal investigator on one of the rover’s sets of eyes. “This is where they should be.”
