we're used to seeing 279 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,390 like this is what we're used to seeing um visual effects people 280 00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:12,400 um visual effects people 281 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,029 um visual effects people put together for us to yeah enjoy but 282 00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:15,039 put together for us to yeah enjoy but 283 00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:16,870 put together for us to yeah enjoy but we're seeing the real thing which 284 00:05:16,870 --> 00:05:16,880 we're seeing the real thing which 285 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,029 we're seeing the real thing which to me i mean some of you may think oh 286 00:05:19,029 --> 00:05:19,039 to me i mean some of you may think oh 287 00:05:19,039 --> 00:05:20,710 to me i mean some of you may think oh well that's you know that so they stuck 288 00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:20,720 well that's you know that so they stuck 289 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,469 well that's you know that so they stuck a camera on a rover and sent it to mars 290 00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:22,479 a camera on a rover and sent it to mars 291 00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:23,990 a camera on a rover and sent it to mars well this is huge 292 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:24,000 well this is huge 293 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,150 well this is huge because we grew up thinking about that 294 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:26,160 because we grew up thinking about that 295 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,590 because we grew up thinking about that martian planet and things that's right 296 00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:27,600 martian planet and things that's right 297 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,590 martian planet and things that's right one day we're going to set foot on that 298 00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:29,600 one day we're going to set foot on that 299 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,710 one day we're going to set foot on that i didn't see marvin though 300 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:30,720 i didn't see marvin though 301 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,629 i didn't see marvin though no i didn't either but they're looking 302 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:32,639 no i didn't either but they're looking 303 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:35,270 no i didn't either but they're looking they are looking for traces of marvin 304 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:35,280 they are looking for traces of marvin 305 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:38,310 they are looking for traces of marvin that's right boy oh boy so cool 306 00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:38,320 that's right boy oh boy so cool 307 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,870 that's right boy oh boy so cool what i'm i'm floored about this yeah 308 00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:40,880 what i'm i'm floored about this yeah 309 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,070 what i'm i'm floored about this yeah this is like 310 00:05:42,070 --> 00:05:42,080 this is like 311 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,909 this is like dreams coming true for all of us who 312 00:05:43,909 --> 00:05:43,919 dreams coming true for all of us who 313 00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:45,590 dreams coming true for all of us who grew up in that era where 314 00:05:45,590 --> 00:05:45,600 grew up in that era where 315 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,270 grew up in that era where you know it's like oh one day we're 316 00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:47,280 you know it's like oh one day we're 317 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:48,790 you know it's like oh one day we're going to see mars and we're going to see 318 00:05:48,790 --> 00:05:48,800 going to see mars and we're going to see 319 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,590 going to see mars and we're going to see it for real 320 00:05:49,590 --> 00:05:49,600 it for real 321 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,430 it for real yeah the technology is so cool and becca 322 00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:53,440 yeah the technology is so cool and becca 323 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,350 yeah the technology is so cool and becca kind of you know she tongue-in-cheek 324 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:55,360 kind of you know she tongue-in-cheek 325 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,629 kind of you know she tongue-in-cheek says it's the the 326 00:05:56,629 --> 00:05:56,639 says it's the the 327 00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:58,629 says it's the the seven minutes of terror and i wanted to 328 00:05:58,629 --> 00:05:58,639 seven minutes of terror and i wanted to 329 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:00,390 seven minutes of terror and i wanted to just kind of briefly touch on what that 330 00:06:00,390 --> 00:06:00,400 just kind of briefly touch on what that 331 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,909 just kind of briefly touch on what that means and why 332 00:06:01,909 --> 00:06:01,919 means and why 333 00:06:01,919 --> 00:06:04,309 means and why it's called that and and what we have to 334 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:04,319 it's called that and and what we have to 335 00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,390 it's called that and and what we have to understand and remember is that mars is 336 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:06,400 understand and remember is that mars is 337 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:07,430 understand and remember is that mars is really far away 338 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:07,440 really far away 339 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,710 really far away yeah really far away so when 340 00:06:10,710 --> 00:06:10,720 yeah really far away so when 341 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,510 yeah really far away so when the when the rover is approaching mars 342 00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:13,520 the when the rover is approaching mars 343 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,230 the when the rover is approaching mars and 344 00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:14,240 and 345 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,430 and is about to enter the atmosphere 346 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:17,440 is about to enter the atmosphere 347 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,189 is about to enter the atmosphere what nasa is seeing on their feed 348 00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:21,199 what nasa is seeing on their feed 349 00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:24,469 what nasa is seeing on their feed is between about 7 to 11 minutes 350 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:24,479 is between about 7 to 11 minutes 351 00:06:24,479 --> 00:06:27,189 is between about 7 to 11 minutes delayed right so as it hits that 352 00:06:27,189 --> 00:06:27,199 delayed right so as it hits that 353 00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:27,909 delayed right so as it hits that atmosphere 354 00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:27,919 atmosphere 355 00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:30,710 atmosphere and goes into this automation mode to do 356 00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:30,720 and goes into this automation mode to do 357 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,710 and goes into this automation mode to do the landing that it needs to do 358 00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:32,720 the landing that it needs to do 359 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,550 the landing that it needs to do that they've programmed using tons of 360 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:34,560 that they've programmed using tons of 361 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,550 that they've programmed using tons of simulations and and 362 00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:36,560 simulations and and 363 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,590 simulations and and data and mathematics and and all of this 364 00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:39,600 data and mathematics and and all of this 365 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,070 data and mathematics and and all of this stuff 366 00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:40,080 stuff 367 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,710 stuff is now taking place and they know this 368 00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:42,720 is now taking place and they know this 369 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,629 is now taking place and they know this is happening right now but we're not 370 00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:44,639 is happening right now but we're not 371 00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:46,469 is happening right now but we're not going to see it 372 00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:46,479 going to see it 373 00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:49,510 going to see it for another seven minutes right so you 374 00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:49,520 for another seven minutes right so you 375 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,430 for another seven minutes right so you you don't know if it actually works you 376 00:06:51,430 --> 00:06:51,440 you don't know if it actually works you 377 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:52,950 you don't know if it actually works you want to speak about 378 00:06:52,950 --> 00:06:52,960 want to speak about 379 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,710 want to speak about sitting on the edge of your seat after 380 00:06:54,710 --> 00:06:54,720 sitting on the edge of your seat after 381 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,230 sitting on the edge of your seat after years and years of 382 00:06:56,230 --> 00:06:56,240 years and years of 383 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,189 years and years of dreaming and planning and and building 384 00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:59,199 dreaming and planning and and building 385 00:06:59,199 --> 00:06:59,589 dreaming and planning and and building and 386 00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:59,599 and 387 00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:03,430 and spending yes oh boy so when that thing 388 00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:03,440 spending yes oh boy so when that thing 389 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,230 spending yes oh boy so when that thing touched down 390 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:04,240 touched down 391 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,469 touched down and they got that feedback i mean seven 392 00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:06,479 and they got that feedback i mean seven 393 00:07:06,479 --> 00:07:09,589 and they got that feedback i mean seven minutes after it actually happened 394 00:07:09,589 --> 00:07:09,599 minutes after it actually happened 395 00:07:09,599 --> 00:07:13,029 minutes after it actually happened wow yeah what a relief and the fact that 396 00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:13,039 wow yeah what a relief and the fact that 397 00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:17,029 wow yeah what a relief and the fact that um it was such a high speed 398 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:17,039 um it was such a high speed 399 00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:20,390 um it was such a high speed that it was entering 19 000 kilometers 400 00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:20,400 that it was entering 19 000 kilometers 401 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,029 that it was entering 19 000 kilometers an hour 402 00:07:21,029 --> 00:07:21,039 an hour 403 00:07:21,039 --> 00:07:23,670 an hour yeah and that it slows it down and it 404 00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:23,680 yeah and that it slows it down and it 405 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,309 yeah and that it slows it down and it works so perfectly to the point that 406 00:07:26,309 --> 00:07:26,319 works so perfectly to the point that 407 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,950 works so perfectly to the point that the platform is hovering yeah like it 408 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:28,960 the platform is hovering yeah like it 409 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,510 the platform is hovering yeah like it slows to 2.6 kilometers an hour which 410 00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:31,520 slows to 2.6 kilometers an hour which 411 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,950 slows to 2.6 kilometers an hour which i think is like walking speed and then 412 00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:34,960 i think is like walking speed and then 413 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,270 i think is like walking speed and then it's just lower than that yeah yeah i 414 00:07:37,270 --> 00:07:37,280 it's just lower than that yeah yeah i 415 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,230 it's just lower than that yeah yeah i guess 416 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:38,240 guess 417 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,350 guess and then it just hovers well yeah okay 418 00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:41,360 and then it just hovers well yeah okay 419 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,390 and then it just hovers well yeah okay 14 kilometers an hour 420 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:44,400 14 kilometers an hour 421 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,589 14 kilometers an hour clock me okay i will you've seen me run 422 00:07:47,589 --> 00:07:47,599 clock me okay i will you've seen me run 423 00:07:47,599 --> 00:07:48,790 clock me okay i will you've seen me run into the bridge when something's not 424 00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:48,800 into the bridge when something's not 425 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,909 into the bridge when something's not working oh yeah 426 00:07:49,909 --> 00:07:49,919 working oh yeah 427 00:07:49,919 --> 00:07:53,189 working oh yeah that's true that's pretty fast like it's 428 00:07:53,189 --> 00:07:53,199 that's true that's pretty fast like it's 429 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:54,150 that's true that's pretty fast like it's it's using those 430 00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:54,160 it's using those 431 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,830 it's using those thrusters to kind of float then it 432 00:07:55,830 --> 00:07:55,840 thrusters to kind of float then it 433 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,670 thrusters to kind of float then it releases through cables 434 00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:57,680 releases through cables 435 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,990 releases through cables like that's some precision engineering 436 00:07:59,990 --> 00:08:00,000 like that's some precision engineering 437 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,189 like that's some precision engineering and play and why would they 438 00:08:01,189 --> 00:08:01,199 and play and why would they 439 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:02,790 and play and why would they why on earth are they you know because 440 00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:02,800 why on earth are they you know because 441 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,309 why on earth are they you know because it looks exceptional because it's so 442 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:04,319 it looks exceptional because it's so 443 00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:04,869 it looks exceptional because it's so cool 444 00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:04,879 cool 445 00:08:04,879 --> 00:08:06,790 cool no because if the rover were to come 446 00:08:06,790 --> 00:08:06,800 no because if the rover were to come 447 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,990 no because if the rover were to come down 448 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:08,000 down 449 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,430 down it's going to be top heavy because this 450 00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:09,440 it's going to be top heavy because this 451 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,110 it's going to be top heavy because this thing has flown through space to get 452 00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:11,120 thing has flown through space to get 453 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:11,510 thing has flown through space to get there 454 00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:11,520 there 455 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,790 there right so the fear is is that as it hits 456 00:08:14,790 --> 00:08:14,800 right so the fear is is that as it hits 457 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,350 right so the fear is is that as it hits the the martian surface it could flip 458 00:08:17,350 --> 00:08:17,360 the the martian surface it could flip 459 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:17,830 the the martian surface it could flip over 460 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:17,840 over 461 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,390 over yeah and then we're done yep so by 462 00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:20,400 yeah and then we're done yep so by 463 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,909 yeah and then we're done yep so by building it this way 464 00:08:21,909 --> 00:08:21,919 building it this way 465 00:08:21,919 --> 00:08:23,670 building it this way hovering from a platform and then 466 00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:23,680 hovering from a platform and then 467 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,670 hovering from a platform and then lowering it down safely 468 00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:25,680 lowering it down safely 469 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,950 lowering it down safely they've basically completely negated the 470 00:08:28,950 --> 00:08:28,960 they've basically completely negated the 471 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,990 they've basically completely negated the the fear 472 00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:30,000 the fear 473 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,790 the fear or the risk of it landing on its head 474 00:08:32,790 --> 00:08:32,800 or the risk of it landing on its head 475 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,550 or the risk of it landing on its head yeah and flipping over when it hits that 476 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:34,560 yeah and flipping over when it hits that 477 00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:37,029 yeah and flipping over when it hits that surface at whatever speed it hits 478 00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:37,039 surface at whatever speed it hits 479 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:39,670 surface at whatever speed it hits yeah or even things like like breaking 480 00:08:39,670 --> 00:08:39,680 yeah or even things like like breaking 481 00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:40,870 yeah or even things like like breaking the wheels off or 482 00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:40,880 the wheels off or 483 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,709 the wheels off or you know oh yeah then you're choking 484 00:08:42,709 --> 00:08:42,719 you know oh yeah then you're choking 485 00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:43,990 you know oh yeah then you're choking yeah so it's a 486 00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:44,000 yeah so it's a 487 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,470 yeah so it's a very very controlled descent to the 488 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:46,480 very very controlled descent to the 489 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,470 very very controlled descent to the point where okay boom we're six meters 490 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:48,480 point where okay boom we're six meters 491 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,190 point where okay boom we're six meters up 492 00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:49,200 up 493 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,790 up now we're gonna just lower it down 494 00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:50,800 now we're gonna just lower it down 495 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,310 now we're gonna just lower it down softly yeah 496 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:52,320 softly yeah 497 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,430 softly yeah whoo that's so cool 498 00:08:55,430 --> 00:08:55,440 whoo that's so cool 499 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,430 whoo that's so cool justin mackey perseverance imaging 500 00:08:57,430 --> 00:08:57,440 justin mackey perseverance

00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,310 scientist and instrument operations team chief said i had no idea that it would 504 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:02,320 chief said i had no idea that it would 505 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:03,750 chief said i had no idea that it would be this amazing 506 00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:03,760 be this amazing 507 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,910 be this amazing when i saw these images come down i have 508 00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:05,920 when i saw these images come down i have 509 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,990 when i saw these images come down i have to say i was truly amazed 510 00:09:07,990 --> 00:09:08,000 to say i was truly amazed 511 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,350 to say i was truly amazed i know it's been a tough year for 512 00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:09,360 i know it's been a tough year for 513 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,110 i know it's been a tough year for everybody and we're hoping these images 514 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:11,120 everybody and we're hoping these images 515 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,190 everybody and we're hoping these images will brighten everybody's day 516 00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:13,200 will brighten everybody's day 517 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,829 will brighten everybody's day this is it this is mars it really is the 518 00:09:15,829 --> 00:09:15,839 this is it this is mars it really is the 519 00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:16,630 this is it this is mars it really is the surface of an 520 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:16,640 surface of an 521 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,829 surface of an alien world so what do you think about 522 00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:19,839 alien world so what do you think about 523 00:09:19,839 --> 00:09:22,230 alien world so what do you think about the latest rover touchdown on mars 524 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:22,240 the latest rover touchdown on mars 525 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,670 the latest rover touchdown on mars are you eager to see more high 526 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:23,680 are you eager to see more high 527 00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,590 are you eager to see more high resolution footage of the planet as the 528 00:09:25,590 --> 00:09:25,600 resolution footage of the planet as the 529 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,190 resolution footage of the planet as the rover gets to work 530 00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:27,200 rover gets to work 531 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,110 rover gets to work do you think any existence for alien 532 00:09:29,110 --> 00:09:29,120 do you think any existence for alien 533 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,870 do you think any existence for alien life will actually be found 534 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:30,880 life will actually be found 535 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,230 life will actually be found let us know your thoughts in the 536 00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:32,240 let us know
