What i understand, the eventual idea of the mission is to answer the question, are we alone? to find evidence of life on mars billions of years ago. talk us through how you would go about answering the question using this rover? so this is a really important result that we found in the last 20 years or so of mars exploration, and that is these river deltas, the one that were close to two commoners away from, that that river delta was in fact all of water, 3 billion years ago. if you are on the e...

Earth and for us, that is what it is about now.— it is about now. i understand the eventual— it is about now. i understand the eventual idea _ it is about now. i understand the eventual idea of - it is about now. i understand the eventual idea of the - the eventual idea of the mission is to answer the question, are we alone? to find evidence of life on mars billions of years ago. took us through how you would go about answering the question using this rover?— this rover? this is a really i...

Look closer at these rocks by the edge of the wheel. one of the edge of the wheel. one of the first things we noticed was that it has a lot of holes or, bugs, unit, so the science team is thinking about what this might mean. it’s is thinking about what this might mean.— is thinking about what this might mean. its the start of the rovers _ might mean. its the start of the rovers two _ might mean. its the start of the rovers two year - might mean. its the start of. the rovers two year mission,...

Firstly, i have expertise in deltas and legs so myjob really on the mission is to try to reconstruct what the ancient landscape on mars 3.7 billion years ago was like. —— lakes. we think from the orbital images that there was a lake in the crater with a delta feeding into it but we need to look precisely and carefully at the rocks to piece together the puzzle and then work out, where are the best places to sample the rocks, basically. these samples will be returned by a future mission to ear...

The science team is really excited to get going here. we have years of scientific investigation ahead of us. you can see that we landed about two kilometres to the south—east of the delta. there are rocks in this field of view. we dont know exactly how big they are, but they might be about ten centimetres, would be a reasonable guess. and also, in the background, there are features in the back that look like the cliffs of the delta. its the start of the rover�*s two—year mission, and its m...

Will get even higher resolution images. i guess, will get even higher resolution images. iguess, i will get even higher resolution images. i guess, i guess people dont know but its actually quite difficult to transmit data back to earth from mars.— difficult to transmit data back to earth from mars. ~ . , , ., earth from mars. which brings me to m next earth from mars. which brings me to my next question. — earth from mars. which brings me to my next question, as _ earth from mars. which bri...

Penetrate the atmosphere at 12,000 miles per hour, parachute, reverse thrust, slow down to 2 miles per hour, and cable down for a soft landing. its the first rover to landed nearly a decade and comes loaded with scientific equipment. 19 cameras, two microphones so that humans can actually hear what mars sounds like on the surface. it landed in the crater with the scientists believe being a new ancient lake bed. >> wow, just an amazing, incredible day. its also the part of our bigger exploration ...

Contradiction. blue lives matter. no, they didnt, that day. no, they didnt. those flags didnt mean anything that day when they were being beaten with the flag pole of those flags. >> thats absolutely right, alisyn. weve all seen those horrendous videos. this is a crowd that considers itself pro-law enforcement. and yet we see attacks on law enforcement, the brutal victimization of, you know, heroic men and women from the capitol police department and the metropolitan police department being atta...

Now "perseverances" two-year mission begins. it will roam the surface of the planet searching for signs of ancient life. i love this story. >> i know you do. youre so excited about it, jim. >> its hard. its hard to do. it had to slow down and lower the rover from these like wires. this was like literally a high-wire act. >> im excited by the technology, but do you really want to go to mars? is that what this is about? i would volunteer? >> you would volunteer to go to mars? >> i might have troub...

The landing spot, jezero crater, is so hazardous with rocks and steep cliffs, it had never been tried before. why are scientists so interested in that crater? >> so, what this mission is about is finding extinct life.io be a lake. its a crater. and if theres ancient life, we think thats the highest likelihood of finding it. >> reporter: now, perseverance and its companion, helicopter "ingenuity," might finally determine if life ever existed on the red planet. >> we are a nation of explorers. its...
