  1. I too welcome the Martian plague to wipeout the apex virus of the Earth…..Humans.

    What we should really hope…is none of these samples end up in a Chinese gain of function lab.

  2. Wouldn't it be a bit more prudent to examine these rock samples in space? Instead we're going to potentially inject our planet with Martian life? It's likely the samples will be dead, but what if they're not?

  3. Well I just have to say it.
    I think it's so nice that they are trying to bring home Co-vids big brother.
    I'm all for space. I have even been told I must come from outer space. But it worries me when they start to bring back samples.
    Sure hope I'm wrong. 🦠🦠🦠🤧🤢🤮

  4. Oh Goody, so if the capsule don't fall apart on impact the microbes that destroyed life on Mars won't get out. Instead it will be put in a Bio-Hazard facility level 4 you know the kind that Covid got out of. This whole plan just makes me feel warm and fuzzy

  5. Hehehe love it, hearing Simon @5:10 trying to say stromatolites… rock words aren't easy! It's strow-mat-o-lites… in Australia where we have marvellous examples we say it like strow-matta-lites (though I'm not knowledgeable on how to write pronounciations)

  6. So, either there's nothing to worry about because there's no chance that Mars had life, or we'll destroy ourselves, because they will find a live virus, the one that killed off the Saurons (my name for the reptilians), our progenitors, and it will kill us off.

  7. So it's between them and Boston Dynamics for who comes up with the best Sci Fi apocalypse . Maybe the Mars zombie virus eventually overwhelms the robots …. but too late for humanity …. or is there a sequel?

  8. I always hated when I hear people talk about bacteria from other planets devastating Earth. If You actually look up how bacteria works it had to evolve to infect humans the fact that there's no humans on the planet it's coming from means that it wouldn't be able to evolve to infect humans so the odds of it actually being able to infect us are astronomically small

  9. I'm not the greatest at physics, but dropping something on earth will reach terminal velocity. How is that a test for something coming from space at thousands of miles an hour??????

  10. The Mars mission is a $7 billion Rube Goldberg machine spanning two planets and running for a decade. Holy crap that's awesome! 😲 Monster props to the folks at NASA for thinking up, designing, and building all the pieces of this crazy experiment. 👍🚀

  11. I like to point out to any who look at the price tag, this isn't just for shits and giggles. The technology developed in these missions do come back to help us. Computers are the best example, computers had a big help because nasa demanded better ones for calculations which in turn helped the wheels of innovation turn which then came back too use in the form of all our tech today.

  12. I'm liberal, I am an engineer, but I believe this to be a monumental waste of money, a spit on the faces of the hungry and the suffering of this planet right here, a crime against humanity. There was never water on Mars, there was never any life on Mars. Mars it too small and its gravity didn't hold anything, not ever. And the idiots who think they can terraform Mars, should be reminded that, first, you can't go to Walgreens and buy a terraforming kit, second, whatever you create there, will be lost to space for the same reason Mars is what it is right now. Gosh.
