Cool video! I love the placeholder "Animations" that got left in lol.

11:27 Curiosity is the 2012 rover , not 2016 !

nasa really has balls to do this kind of stuff

The fact they used Windows 95 for pathfinder and it worked perfectly with no errors is a miracle on its own…

Thanks. Good video.

this is great thanks!

The first soft landing on Mars was actually Russias "Mars 3"; space probe, lander, and rover (PrOP-M). The landing was almost a total failure but did actually send some info back to earth including at least 1 picture. The mission gets overlooked because of it's 'almost failure' compared to viking 1 super succsess. An interesting peice of space exploration history

Heh heh....heh heh... Heh heh.... he said "balls".

Cell phones were the size of bricks in the 80's not the 90's. In the late 90's they were quite small and have got larger since for the touch screens albiet thin.

Great balls video !!

Love the title 💀🤫🧏🗿

I still can't believe this happened decades ago ingenious. But the way u be stressing "giant inflatable balls" Everytime 😂💀

I always thought that instead of landing legs on Lunar Lander, it should have a Bean Bag on bottom with a low center of gravity and descent slowed by engine nozzles located on top with thrust pointing down, vehicle could land on uneven terrain and remain upright even if at an angle.

Rocket mechanics means there's no self-righting effect. If the rocket tilts, the thrust tilts too rather than remaining upright, so no matter where you place the thrusters or the centre of gravity, it won't help. Honestly, the physics is hard to intuitively understand, if you're not confident about what I mean then my rec is to try it out in a rocket simulator with realistic enough physics like KSP.

I think they should do a solar powered aircraft to Mars. Have a person stay up in the orbiting probe. Do a Google Earth but Google Mars mapping and data. Land the solar aircraft each day to recharge its batteries in the evening and morning. The probe would change its inclination often to take photos from there as well to stitch together.

Subbed 🙂

Priceless title.

7:20 No mention of the main parachute that deploys sometime after the supersonic parachute. But at 8:00 the main chute is plainly visible in the video.

First? Love your videos!

[hard attempt to restrain myself doing jokes about "balls"] Thank you for sharing this deep space balls knowledge

Everyone's reaction to this video was the exact same "hehehehehe.. balls"

Tough balls indeed

Glad to see the comments didn't let me down! 😊

More often than not, it takes big balls to try new and difficult things, especially when going into unknown territory. I'm glad we have big balls, and women who know how to fix them!!

Second still love you videos

That was pretty ballsy of NASA lol

I wasn't aware that NASA had used the inflateable ball "bouncy" landing since Pathfinder.

It took great self controll to resist the urge to make them bigger and only use 2

IM-1's crash-landed Odysseus lander could have used some space balls

I think that I might use the ball approach even nowadays for a sufficiently small and light rover. Having minimal reliance on terrain and chance is good. Analog simplicity has immense value too - fewer things can go wrong, and failures are more predictable. I would probably still aim for some on-board computer guidance akin to what we have for modern rovers (or better), because it is dumb to forgo improvements when they are available, but I would not relegate the balls permanently to the trash can. It is more of a matter of the right tool for the mission.

Should have said "giant inflatable Space balls" lol

Well, I hope NASA gets even bigger balls one day.

Bro I love NASA's balls, always a pleasure to see em working with them!

"beautiful giant balls, fron a simpler time!"... Ah, yes, that brings back memories.😮

One of the best episodes, because its sad but true."

Very fascination video and informative.!! ⭐ Russia used such Balls to land one of their Moon rovers in the 60's.

When i first heard about the balloon ballsacks...and then first saw the animation for it...i couldnt stop laughing. Its a genius solution to a very complex problem...but holy crap is it hilarious. Just imagine all the hard work by everyone on the team...years of peoples work and lives...the dedication...the complexity of just getting off Earth and into orbit or further...the complexity of travelling millions of miles and months of travel to hit a pretty precise point...and then the complexity of managing to make it into mars atmosphere...and then...boom...out come the GIANT BALLSACKS...bouncin along the surface...protecting the payload inside. Its freaking glorious

I am convenced that "Nasa has the best balls"

I did an Egg Drop contest in the Boy Scouts at a day camp. My Egg Drop disappeared and was never returned. My design was this. I'd like my check please or my original Egg Drop entry returned.

Can't believe I've never heard of nasa s giant inflatable balls

Probably some people might ask "Can this be used for the moon?" --- I think it would things make easier by having the ability to land with 27 m/s instead of bringing it down below 1 m/s. As Nova-C has proven horizontal velocity is best at zero --- so having more flexibility there could be an advantage.

Small bounce for Space Balls, Giant leap for Mankind! Seems like NASA does have balls to land on Mars!!

These landing techniques could be used in the moon? Last moon landings have shown how is tricky to correctly land there.

NASA be like "I love big balls and I cannot lie..."

Balls!

Please cover nasa’s latest moon landing

New drinking game - every time "balls" is said, take a shot :D

This is so easy it's common sense that you need stabilizer thrusters in order to keep the platform straight and they need gyroscopes to keep the platforms balance they need land scanner to look for landing area😂😂😂

It really take balls to land on Moon and Mars!!!

Urge to play AC/DC intensifying

Optimus and michelin man combo?

“It takes balls to land on mars”😂

This video has several gaps in terms of editing, it is missing parts with animation, I think it was not ready to be published.

SO MUCH TALK ABOUT BALLS 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

the way I immediately clicked on this video says a lot about me.

NASA aren't the only ones with giant indestructible balls

I have the feeling he just wanted to talk about balls

Eleanor one of the coolest people ever

Live pyrocynical reaction

The new technology has no balls.

A good video, but he mis-spelled both "vacuum" and "Spirit".

Is this a refrence to primal space "nasa giant metal balls"?

Hehe.... Ballz

Yeah, you’re coming in like 3 mph with no breaks 😱🤪🌎what do you expect!

Big balls? My brother can ride his motorcycle with no hands at 100 mph !

those balls were on space craft in mars movie forgot the name had a robot called max i think this idea is old

Pretty ballsy ngl
