Perseverance spots unexpected intruder in Mars rock
Ғылым және технология
Episode 63
The Perseverance rover has reached layered and weirdly eroded rocks at the edge of the ancient delta deposit. They get even weirder, with an obviously unnatural feature in one of them that sometimes disappears.

Maybe thousands of pieces where generated in the deliberate crash. Ingenuity team unfortunately decided to not take pictures of the skycrane crash site despite passing by closely. So we'll likely never get to know.

It is not easy to choose, when something is being discovered everything is unknown or new. It would be interesting to detach that piece of MLI to study its movements, but I don't think there is a means right now to deal with that.

Taking thousands of photographs in the general vicinity of the crash site for almost 500 days, I'd say the odds that one of the photographs will eventually capture some remnant of the crash site will tend towards 100%.

@@nagualdesign You're probably right. I just imagined all the obstacles a tumbling sheet of foil would encounter when blown across 2km of the Martian surface. Also, it's my understanding that the bacon strip was investigated dynamically, so the rover could have ended up anywhere really, possibly never seeing any crash debris again.

Probably similar odds to the twixie bar wrappers and coke cans that accidentally got left on the Apollo set, and weren't noticed until released to the public. Getting very suspicious that these are more propaganda fake missions. To be brutally honest, there is no way they should have been able to get that drone to fly in that low pressure Atmosphere. Even if the aerodynamics could work, which is highly doubtful, cooling the motor would be basically impossible.
this supports the theory that Mars is inhabited by robotic lifeforms from outer space

Oh yeah, this seems about right. Sure, I can't find my damn keys in the other room but from hundreds of miles away from where it started with a whole planet to explore in any widely, vast opportunities of options for any direction to lay its course, we have a rover that just stumbles across its own trash. This is definitely true, as history has shown me, this is the one big middle finger the universe has pointed right at me.... Oh, hey, here are my keys.
It would make sense considering that they just passed the shell and parachute. I'm surprised it took this long to see a piece of material like this on the surface

Thanks again for watching. Assuming humans someday explore and inhabit Mars, seems likely that early artifacts will be valued and recovered.
My guess is less than 488 days. Since the rover landed 488 days ago. But, my real guess is that it took only a day to move that far, it was a windy day on Mars when the insulation that was flapping in the breeze broke loose. Once free, on that windy day, it tumbled until it got stuck where it is. One day is less than 488 days. Ok, final answer, One Hour. The wind blows very fast on Mars. My Final Final Answer, is 10 minutes plus or minus 10 minutes. Winds blow really really fast.
Wow - so interesting. From seeing the effects of the wind, I'm thinking I would like to see them put up a windsock so we can see which way the wind is blowing, and with what force.

On Earth, if there is a pressure gradient, there is wind. If there is little gradient, little wind. The Coriolis force also plays a role. Thermal differences between sun and shade, day and night. All of that on a daily basis. The sea and the land store heat for more or less time and exchange it at different heights... On Mars this works differently, let's learn it.
