★ How to Get to Mars. Very Cool! HD

We don't fire a rocket motor all the way to mars. We don't need to You just place the spacecraft on a trajectory to mars and let it coast for seven months and 300 million miles until it reaches the planet Atmospheric entry in 3.. 2.. 1.. Just passed in one minute that atmospheric entry current altitude 121 miles, current velocity 12,084 miles per hour We are now at an altitude of 73 miles moving at a speed of 12,192 miles per hour expected parachute deploy in five seconds four three, two, one, Mark We're awaiting confirmation parachute has deployed Parachute was detected Heat shield deployed event Spacecraft reporting the scene field at the - Planet separation event has been detected. Spacecraft reporting lander has separated moving at a speed of 173 miles per hour We are near our terminal velocity Expected retro Rocket ignition on my mark - Mark. At this point in time, we should be on the ground Any signal that we receive from now indicates the vehicle would be alive on the ground and bouncing The Spacecraft has to survive all the bounces for landing to be a success No signal at the moment Standby Signal strength is currently intermittent We don't see a signal at the moment What do we see? We've got the signal! [cheering] The first thing we have to do after we land is open our solar panels to the sun So we'll have some power. This charges up the batteries After that, we can deploy the camera mast so the rover can see and deploy the antenna, so the rover can talk to us

Awesome video. What happens if the bounce lands it upside down? We're those things protruding from the balls some sort of thing to push it right side up before deflating?

In the exceedingly unlikely event that I ever have any direct involvement in space exploration, I vow to wear the banner of freedom that the guy at 4:30 has because America.

When they say "Ignition on my mark ... mark" it makes it sound like they control it in real time. But their is a big latency, around 4 minutes if Mars is close to the earth. Weird.

I see they updated the graphics of Kerbal Space Program substantially

I love the passion and joy I see in them

"How to Get to Mars" Sounds like you're going to give me a legit bus route

[u/IDoStuffIL]

That's it?

[u/MeanEYE]

I found this video much more relevant, entertaining and informative.

They do not have to add any sound, as there is little to no sound in a vacuum of space.
