Agreed..

Can we just relish the fact, that USSR/CCCP managed to - more or less blindly - land a vehicle on mars at 2nd attempt, setting the template for all future landings? Well-produced and well-told, thanks for the good work! Ending was a bit abrupt, though! :) Would have liked to know more about why the failure etc, since the archives were scrounged when the Soviet Republic collapsed....

It shows how competition entoxicates the science and all the other stuff. No sharing of informations and no really help. The US gov tried as well for the space progam the socialistic model of a public project in science and production. Companies were included like in a public, sharing of everything process and the rescources were used after they were available, not after the crazy artificial cost. Of course the german scientists like v Braun were extremely useful, or lets say decisive(He had his success as well in a public national cooperative-supportive system before). The SU had accidential tried once in their progam two a bit competing scientists projects, that shared not so much(information and rare stuff). So they were slower and less efficient like normal capitalistic big companies.

Imagine being the Russian guy probably running on 3 hours of sleep and mistyping “150” instead of “1.5” lmao

I do allways get the lotto numbers righ, but my timing is still way out.

Only people on the fringes still thought there were canals on Mars before any flybys or landings in the 60s. In the early 1900s better telescopes had shown the canals not to be so visually and spectroscopy had shown that there simply wasn't enough water there.

Thank you for such an interesting and revealing piece. 🤝

I'm 59 and grew up during the US-Soviet space race. Of note is that the US/NASA always covered its space launches and missions live on TV while the Soviet missions were always a secret until/unless they were successful. If successful, the world would hear about it in the news after the fact. During the space shuttle years, the US/NASA did have numerous missions that were entirely for the Department of Defense. We knew from the news that these missions occurred, but there were no details as to the specifics of those missions. Even to this day, I don't believe that much is known to the public about those NASA/DOD missions.

Thank you for this interesting history

Over eight trillion dollars has been spent on lost or unwinnable wars in recent two decades. Imagine all the science that could have been done with that sort of budget.

Not really. Both probes were botched on their way by either flight controller human error or design mistakes.

For those of you seriously interested in the Russian post war Space Programme I can highly recommend James Harford's 'Korolev' , the story of the Genius behind Sputnik ang Gagarin's first flight into outer space.

70 years ago or 1970? 70 years ago would be 1954 and Sputnik wasn't launched until 1957.

Amazing story

A few years ago i sended my microwaves to the Sun to find traces of water , some problems with the solar panels because it arrived at night but everything is working good now

This is just 1 of millions of secret things going on no one knows about. Would not surprise me that humans are already on mars

Awesome!

Is that story real!?! I NEVER heared of that before!!! O______o

The photo shown was from the US Viking Lander 1. It was a wildly successful mission, unlike the Russian ones.

Very interesting 🎉

The canals were a mistaken translation of the word channels.

Nice... planet wide dust storms... and we still thinking about a colony...

I don't call it a failure- I call it a beginning

If you could have kept out the glib comments about how the USSR's first attempt at landing on Mars failed because the lander only transmitted once and went dead and focus on the fact that they did it first that may have helped keep this video on the objective and scientific side.

Never new they landed on Mars.

The soviet space program sounds like a Pee Wee Herman line: I meant to do that.

Hummm, Electrostatic you say...

Matt Damon may need that

The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know. Thanx 4 this!

Mars is not our closest planetary neighbor, Venus is!

I still want to know who put that giant red standard Poodle up there? And what is that dog's name?

VENUS AS WELL !!

It was known for many, many years that there were no canals

Very interesting and informative video. Thank you!

Was the photography taken in MARS, NEVADA, or in MARS, NEW MEXICO ?

When you say Kazakhstan, it reminds me the need for rockets to launch from as near to equator as possible. When countries part with RuSSian federation, Kremlin is losing ground to keep launching its stuff (if they had any at this point). We could see how their attack on Moon ended last year. It wasn't a normal mission that is planned and worked on for years and years. It was a sudden decision to prop up the opinion of public when everything has been failing.

Was it really more red (mars)? as we know now they added a red filter to the mars photos.

Wow! I didn't know that Russia went to Mars? I learn something new everyday.

Satilities to mine water and make a atmosphere on mars.

Too bad for the scientific community that russias probe failed after it landed. The data that it could’ve provided would’ve been invaluable for future missios

Was it me? Or was those some nice blue missiles she had...

Sounds more like a russian author sci fi story, intended as a hello to the moon mission, but their cinematography wasn't up to spec so they kept it to themselves

The Russian products demonstrate that it has highly qualified and innovative research and development activists. At times when one hears of USA as Americans distorts the fact that such nomenclature supposed to cover North and south America.

The Russians wanted us to think that they had crashed on Mars even though they didn’t most did land safely well before America did they have also mapped it looking for. Alien tech same as the moon and Venus that’s why so many missions went to all three bodies

Wow!

When your the worlds hegemony you have a bohimot advantage

How long has NASA been observing Mars?

Just picture being as sophisticated as the USSR in it's prime, but thinking it's still not good enough to own your shortcomings.
