I applaud them. Probably grew up as children looking up to the stars and dreaming. Life on an alien world in our solar system. Yet many alienate life on our own world in each other. Mankind.The day the military starts policing space, is the day we are doomed. Voyages, 1970's. Greetings from earth. Greetings from the children of earth. We are a peaceful intelligent race that wish nothing more than to communicate. Just don't invade our airspace. We will shoot you down or chase you. Beam me up Scotty. There's no intelligent life down here
Beautiful graphics
Fake. (Not the landing...just this high tech cartoon depiction of it.)
they said they wud also send a flying drone but looks like it got cancelled
Fake
What an incredible mind blowing step in the exploration of our solar system, here’s to many more like this and to when people will walk the planets.

“Resistance is futile” said the Borg. “We’ll persevere with it” replied the Rover 😂
Aliens: someone’s coming!
Why dis they cut off the end bit where the warden strolls over and gives it a parking ticket?
February 18th 2021...the day humans started to destroy the planet Mars.
the strange irony is most of the scientists are "colored" immigrants, and half of americans hate "colored" immigrants (including native americans)
Very cool!

OMG not another fake landing!
The engineering of the actual landing are truly astonishing. A sky crane landing a vehicle by cables after entry into the atmosphere. So many things that could have gone wrong and only one needed to. Yet is was successful. Just astonishing.

This animation is totally Rad. Wow! 40 million miles. Mind boggling 😮
wow how did they get that video footage anyway
Amazing footage...how did they film it?
After all that and the sky crane falls on top of the rover.
fake.
Looks CGI .
In general the physics in this animation suck!
what's with the sounds in space?
A younger version of me never thought I would hear myself say this but : what has this done / what will this do for humankind except satisfy some curiosity ? Couldn’t the VAST amount of money be put to better use than for sending back pictures of a desert ?

And to imagine, all the minds, hearts and souls that came together and MADE THIS HAPPEN on Mars!!! Then I look here down here on this Blue Dot called Earth...This is ONE math problem that's going to take some serious Super Natural focusing to land here on Earth and stabilize our own atmosphere of sorts.

It’s almost difficult to believe that that is an animated version of reality.
Is it really so bright on Mars?
There is no sound in space.
Wouldn't it be funny if the shell landed on top of the rover?
Pretty incredible technology
There's no sound heard in space.

Too bad you couldn't put the Star Trek theme for a few seconds at the first of this... :)
Where does the actual drone that dropped off the Rover go? Does it just get destroyed somewhere else !? What a waste if so??

It has one job. You could say that the rocket boosters that got it off of Earth were a waste too, by that metric.
don't want to see animation !!
Hollywood must have spent a bucket-load of money to build a set as big as Mars. It's obviously deep under Coober Pedy in Australia. That's why all those Aussies live underground there. They're the film-crew. Of course, they'll all be killed to stop them talking. Severed. Permanently. That's why the project is called: 'Per-severance.' Simple logic. (I hope they get all the shadows right this time.) 😉
Why dis they cut off the end bit where the warden strolls over and gives it a parking ticket?
Big Up to the Americans, some spectacular engineering and mind-blowing achievements......#Respect
It is hard to believe that those reverse rockets, did not burn those wheels off. I love those sounds toward the end, the wind, sounds like when I go solo camping in the desert with nothing for miles.

_Now all I have to do is find myself a nice, clean gas station._
It's extremely unlikely that this has happened. Spacecraft was traveling at 24,000 MPH. Atmosphere is almost nonexistent (maximum density at surface is less than 1% of Earth's), and is only about 100 km. Time in the atmosphere would be miliseconds, maybe a couple of seconds if traveling parallel to surface, which is not realistic due to Mars' curvature. Just not buying that crap. The cartoons are nice, though, good job.

@John Miller the reported average speed is ~24000 mph. then it will slow down to 12000 mph. You would need to shoot fire from more than 300 gallons of jet fuel in the direction of travel, which is like spitting upward. And that is just for the mass of the rover. I can't even find the mass of the drone with the thrusters, or the heat shield. It would be easily 3 times the mass, 3 times the energy, ~1000 gallons, not even counting the mass of the rocket. Plus the fuel needed to make adjustments in the direction. And then how is it supposed to get back to earth? do they have another cape canaveral installed in mars? Not a chance. And there is no solid evidence provided, only animations, and pictures of a desert.

It was traveling 7,000 MPH - not 24,000 MPH - when it reached Mars.
Mars probably still is like this all we ever see is cgi or air brushed pics to cover wat really is going on issofts.info/video/v-deo/hmeelIWsn7mzsaQ issofts.info/video/v-deo/hmeelIWsn7mzsaQ

@jackpast No GPS but something called Terrain Relative Navigation where photos of the landscape below are quickly taken and compared to maps in the computer memory in order to direct the Descent Vehicle to a safe landing spot. It would be good to have a Mars GPS network, though.

Just guessing but the rockets that fired after the chute was released probably had some maneuvering abilities. Wouldn’t be surprised if GPS satellites were orbiting Mars for years and guided Perseverance where they wanted it. I’m just in awe of what can be done autonomously.
JPT. crappy graphics
So this is what they're giving us, fake CGI? Where's the original footage with sound? They said that this time, the probe was able to capture the actual landing on video and with sound, since Perseverance is the first probe equipped with a microphone. Where's that footage? They had to pay and entire team of 3D artist for this fake CGI video. Imagine if they would have invested that money into something more useful and practical, and given us the original footage. Come on NASA, you can do better than this.

Why use rockets to land the rover instead of just another parachute? Is it just to be able to navigate to the exact location? The whole rocket platform lowering rover, untether then fly off seem rather complicated.

Technically this means that we have sent an alien probe to another planet. We are officially aliens now. We need to coordinate with silver jump suits before we become the laughing stock of all the other aliens.

Brilliant shots. Who sent the camera which recorded them . In colour. With sound ? Stunning photography.. thank you so much.
Not bad at all.
Just imagine an alien is captured on camera riding the rover on Mars as a Quad Bike
Wow. Gives me goosebumps. USA is amazing.
Those complaining about the sounds should know NASA actually has two microphones installed to hear it land in the atmosphere.
Another brilliant video from NASA at the mere cost of millions.....😂😂😂😂

Now Mars weighs a little more than it did and the Earth weighs a little less. Did anyone take that into account?
Stunning, for sure. I felt like I was riding along.
Instead of going to Mars should I put the money towards that people are struggling here in the US what’s a pandemic there’s nothing on Mars will never be there just a waste of money
Instead of instead of going to Mars I wish you gave us a stimulus checks first $2.4 billion capsule you could’ve fed all ofHomeless people in California every year
