  1. Imagine just flying a drone only on the drones cam. Then add a minutes delay. The work and genius going into those missions is STAGGERING. What a feat of talent and dedication.

  2. I wonder if they have considered putting a radio repeater/booster spacecraft in a suitable location to allow for uninterrupted communication? As the number of missions increase this could be useful.

  3. I dont think much of the design that allows rock fragments to jam a critical part of the mechanism! Rock fragments pretty much guaranteed to occur at the transfer point between core drill and sample tube…
    A simple funnel shape extending from the sample tube would have solved this completely….

  4. Alex,

    Olivine is a mineral, not a rock. This is an important distinction, because the rock in question was likely basalt, which often has large phenocrysts of olivine in it, and a defining whole-rock atomic makeup. Even calling a mineral olivine can be considered somewhat inaccurate because olivine is really two different minerals, called forsterite and ferrite. The composition of these minerals and the different structures they form tells us so much about the crystallization environment.

  5. 10:15 now our robotos poop!! 😅

    Jokes aside though, can we take a second to appreciate and respect at the fact that we are looking at and talking about fantastic pieces of machinery millions of kilometers away from us? Sure it may seem analogue compared to star trek but this is truly breathtakingly amazing!!!!

  6. Bugs the heck out of me that we spend so much money on these & they allow nerdy scientists to design the vehicle. Sure let them design the instruments to do experiments but get some NASCAR guys in to design the vehicle. The wheels always look like they are off a grocery cart…no wonder they always get stuck. How about some monster truck tires filled with silicone? A simple plastic clear cover could keep the rocks out!
