I appreciate how you quietly ask for donations. There are a lot of channels out there that over emphasize their patreon accounts to the point that it feels like aggressive begging. Good video. Well narrated. And, I like how it sounded like you were talking to us, not reading from a page like people did back in primary school when they would read out loud in class or the way a first grade teacher would sound reading a book to a class of young children. That drives me nuts. I won't listen to those people's videos. Thank you for talking normal.

Surprise! I made an extra video this week in time for the InSight mission. This is one of my first attempts at a time-relevant video. Let me know what you think! EDIT: Sorry everyone, it's 1,500c, not 15,000c. That's my british brain not really processing the american way of saying fifteen hundred... we would say one thousand five hundred. I had a brain fart.

I can almost never fault anything you say, but I caught you out this time! :) 1:47 - sorry - but no. The heat shield does what the name of the heat shield says it does! It does NOT really absorb heat, it deflects the plasma created close to the surface, around the outside of the shield. The vast majority of heat generated goes around the craft. The tiny parts of the shield which do absorb a tiny amount of the total heat generated by atmospheric entry are ablated into space, carrying heat with them as they go. So yeah, a heat shield is a heat shield, not a heat sink, as you have stated. The two are very different things, used for very different purposes. Thanks for all your wonderful videos. Make more, please!

Or maybe "Uncle Polo". Many historians believe that Marco Polo wrote in first person but wasn't the guy who made the trip. They say it was likely his uncle. Since the cubesats really are making the trip, it seems perhaps it would be a better name. Also although they don't have any "instruments" it seems that some good science could be done with their data. I hope they have a way to report the tuning trim they need to adjust to receive the commands. If the dish sending the commands uses an atomic clock to set the frequency, the frequency of the returned carrier and the tuning adjustment, could get an accurate Doppler measurement. As they pass Mars, they get to feel the gravity. Some triangulation and some math later and you get the mass of Mars.

I love curiosity and all the other rovers, but this one really does excite me. Maybe because I studied geology, but I feel that this mission has the potential to teach us more of Mars and all the other planets (including Earth) than all the other mars missions combined. There are so many questions and I hope so badly that this only creates even more.

@Annette Sanches The answer is they took over 55 exposures in different positions with the rover's camera equipment and stitched/blended them together with photo editing software. You can even see artifacts from this photo blending on the ground where the shadows blur/fade unnaturally and in the sky where the lighting changes as the day progressed while they were taking the images. The arm on the rover that held the camera was edited out for artistic purposes, using pixels from shots where the arm wasn't obscuring the rest of the rover. Any amount of research or the bare minimum level of critical thinking would have answered your question, but I'm guessing these aren't skills you're familiar with. You're as stupid as your meaningless conspiracy theory.

At 3:35 you were saying the flat landing area is to increase the chance of a successful landing but it's also because InSight doesn't need interesting terrain to study, it just needs to drill and check the core of the planet with sensors instead of taking pictures of interesting river valleys or mountain ridges

By studying the interior of Mars, Insight could help explain why the Red Planet does not have a magnetic field.

@Azivegu

5 жыл бұрын

Most likely it is because Mars doesn't have enough pressure to generate significant amount of heat, which would lead to convection. This turning of the mantel on earth leads to (to simplify it) a spinning of the inner and outer core which in turn generates a magnetic field. It is also the reason (as far as we understand) that earth is the only known body with plate tectonics. I ascribe myself to the idea that earth may be on the low end of sized planets that can have plate tectonics. But the fact that we have it is crucial to the fact that life is even possible in the first place. The reason this works on Earth is possibly due to the fact that we have such a large moon that also allows for generating heat which helps maintain the entire system.

Let’s put this into perspective a little. It is true that more than half of all mission to Mars ended in failure but not NASA’s missions. counting insight which successfully landed. NASA has had only 6 failures out of the 26 launched or a 77% success rate with its last failure almost 2 decades ago. Nasa is by far the most successful space agency on the planet. So it is not surprising that insight made a successful landing.
