With the help of two helicopters, a mini rocket and a new Mars lander, NASA and the European Space Agency are bringing the first samples from another planet back to Earth. CNET’s Claire Reilly breaks down how the ambitious program will work.

CNET's Claire Reilly looks to have a full bra …
Over eleven years to get a few small samples back?!?!?! I was thinking would we get people to Mars and back with significant samples before then.
thought that was a flying THC vape cart in the thumbnail…maybe I should cut back.
Won't Elon have a Tesla-Plant and 2 ex-wives on Mars by the time this mission is complete? 😅
fake cgi lies as always, 2022 we know space is fake, Actornauts Hollywood clowns.
Uncle at Costco!! 😂
has no one ever watched a sci-fi movie…. this won't end well and neither will we………..
Mate, you're a fellow Aussie, saying SHRIMP is just so unnatural! 😭
Do you want Zombies? Because this is how you get Zombies
yaasssss SIS that shirt is everything lol
Bringing Rocks/Air from Mars to a world with a collapsing Biosphere, are the Rocks worth destroying Earth! Wow, how crazy is that! ffs! ✊🏽🌻🌎
Clean up the return rock samples? How many space rocks hit Earth routinely?
This is way cool but it’s taking way too long. 11 years without delays is the earliest we’ll have samples? I hoped we’d have a person on Mars by then. I think at age 56 that I’ll be dead before we land someone on Mars. I’m totally bummed.
Your jokes are lame and dont enhance the content. Otherwise, good coverage.
Sounds like a scary movie waiting to happen
2028? I thought it was right now or next year.
I can't bring dirt from my country to another due too environmental reasons and here they're bringing samples from another planet
Percy launched when I was 18 and we won’t get the samples back until I’m 32 jesus
Anyone who saw The Andromeda Strain will be sufficiently scared by this news
So bring back gasses from another planet. Wise, huh. Just because one can doesn’t grant that one should.
Amazing how many “adults” still believe in Santa Claus
no one has that time to 2033 that's a lazy approach by NASA ….by then the mars colony wud have started and Elun would be the president of mars and his vice Vladimir Putin …i think NASA shud be given to elun to manage, the guys there are not really up to the task
It is NOT "bringing Martian rocks and air back to Earth." It is planned to do so in the future , but it is not happening right now.
Misleading title! Is it too hard to say "will be bringing" or "is planning to bring" rather than "is bringing"? Or is the disingenuous click-bait too tempting to miss?
Bringing Martian rock back then gives the opportunity to compare them with Martian rock samples already found on earth and give more credence to the massive collision Mars appears to have experienced in the distant past.
The entire foundational presupposition of the Perseverance mission is that inanimate objects can burst into life thru natural causes. There is zero scientific evidence for this notion.
A bag of air from a Kayne west concert goes for 50000$
Need to send back samples of Martian ice.
Do you think that they really care about finding evidence of life? Personally, I think they really care about finding evidence of natural resources for energy.
If you really think this is the limit of our tech, seek help. You have been watching too much T.V.
Why do we want to go to Mars.What benefit will it bring to humanity.A planet with no water or Oxygen.
Let’s make our planet better.There are more important issues to deal with here on Earth.
‘Roaming around like your uncle at Costco quietly collecting samples.’ Lol.
I would volunteer going to Mars but i feel i would become a bit depressed being on a planet without a beach etc.
Just saying it seems rather depressing
* I will forever be indebted to you, you have changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your name for the world' to hear that you save me from huge financial debt with little investment thank you very much Expert Sophia
7:55 – Let's not count our chickens just yet…
Bro I can get in my car and drive to Mars and back before 2033….
This is amazing but let’s just save the money so we can go there. I really wanna see people on Mars before I die, and I’m already 51
Yeah sure
all the best camera-man filming the journey to us
I'm willing to bet that they will change course from landing the samples to Earth via impact to SpaceX Starship or Dragon doing an automated retrieval from space and safely landing it on Earth. I think those samples arre way too valuable to risk an impact landing.
ok quick question how do you a launch rocket where there's no oxygen (on mars of course)
2033 ? So 11 years 😭
If they find oil we will all be screwed
Chinese will get the sample waayyy early than NASA plan in 2028..
Nasa is bring Nevada rocks again? Moon rocks were from Nevada in teh beginning, and changed to the collection of meteor. Now, Nasa is collecting meteor again?
Mars ROCKS!
Unlocking Mars's secrets in 11 years should have been the title. I am excited but the timeline for such a successful space mission is getting to me.
2033??? R u sure??
