Hello dear readers, ElderFox here. Making this video has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. This is the end result of years of work. As far as I know, I’m the only person on Earth documenting the rover’s journey this way. I strive to make the best videos I possibly can. It’s a lot for one man to take on: with scraps of info released from NASA, I try to piece it all together, remaining steadfastly true to what actually happened, while keeping it digestible and entertaining. I can only hope I’ve attained the quality you’ve come to expect from me.

  3. This is exactly what I was looking for. I remember watching the live broadcast of the launch, and then the landing of Perseverance, and later the first flights of Ingenuity and the discoveries of the rover. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to follow the news from Mars in the daily routine, and such videos allow you to both catch up on missed events and refresh your memory of key events. Documenting the rover's travels is an interesting but difficult thing. I used to do a "biography" of Curiosity, from the moment it landed on Mars to the present day, but I was only enough for the first 3 years of its work (it seems I was TOO detailed).

    Keep doing what you're doing. Documentation about the journey of the rovers is a necessary and useful thing. Good luck!

  10. So great to have good cams on the rover/helo. The pictures are good enough that you feel like your actually there. The only thing is, the pictures make it look like its warm, but it's actually brutally cold. The highest temps being in the 60's (15-17 C) during summer. It gets down to -136 (-93C) at night year round however. We should take a blanket and a good coat when we go. Anyway, I'm a bit disappointed in this site, and the way NASA is looking for signs of any life past or present. The missions are still very geology based, and there is no subsurface exploration of any kind.

  14. What an exciting and wonderful journey! More so that you present this material in such a lovely fashion, with the music and perfect visual editing enhancing the inspiring narrative that is reminiscent of the stories told throughout the ages. Except now, we sit around the modern campfire while lookin to the stars in ways the ancients could never have imagined; watching the stunning tale unfold before us, with our little hunter exploring mysterious lands beyond the rivers and seas, truly on another planet that we've only seen as a distant point of light on the far side of the forest's darkness by the fires flickering light! You've made the shadows dance on the cave walls as they never have before! Thank you for being our Shaman, Elder Fox!
