I think the most impressive part of all this is how the rovers have all vastly exceeded their planned operation periods. Even Sojourner, only active for less than three months, still far exceeded its original operation time. Opportunity alone was able to run for almost sixty times its planned operation cycle, an absolutely mind-blowing achievement! It really goes to show just how well-built the rovers were and the ingenuity of the minds who designed them. I can't wait to see what more Perseverance and Ingenuity can show us in the coming years.
Idk.. sounds to me like they are underestimating their abilities so they can overachive. How can all the rovers be so darn amazing? I dont agree with this type of performance metric. That being said good job nasa, I am proud of your achievements.
Well, it makes any discussion around the rocks much easier if you name them instead of having to say "1998 QW2" or "2001 AU43" when deciding what asteroid to visit for the next mission.
What amazing technology. It never ceases to impress me what mankind can achieve in a world otherwise populated by greed and despots. This is so uplifting
This makes me kinda proud. The individual people came together in a way that allowed humanity to reach beyond our local area. As a child I was well informed by cartoons that we would be “Jetson’s” at this point. Adult me knows the effort to even send a rover.
I like that they said that the rocks were time capsules. I have been feeling like that for a long time. Whenever I pick up rocks from the creek and find fossils. I just imagine that little creature's life, death, and burial, and the passage of time while it waited to be found... by a geek like me. 🤓
Great job in story telling and finding the right words to make this informative content compelling and entertaining. This is more than a simple sum up of facts and events.
The Locals actually say "Add-a-ron-dacks" and we call just the area Northern NY. (I'm from Schenectady, NY) 😁👍 'Northeastern', is what we call the Vermont border. 👍
@@marktrain9498 If i could get a penny for everytime "narrators" pronounce "π" as "pie" instead of "pee", "μ" as "mew" instead of "mee", "ξ" as "ksai" instead of ksee, etc I would now be a millionaire!

@Astrum Hey Alex, I just want to thank you. You have consistently been one of the best scientific content channels on all of UA-cam. Keep up the great work! In the spirit of your mission to provide accurate and informative content (no pun intended), I thought you might appreciate knowing that the correct pronunciation of "Adirondack" is actually adder-ON-dak, not uh-DEER-ahn-dak, as you repeatedly call it here. Just for future reference. A pretty petty distinction, I know, but given your attention to detail, I figured you might like to know. Thanks again for all you do!
Usually pronounced ADD-deer-RON-dack, the upstate New York mountain range, which the profile of the Mars boulder resembled, are fascinating in their own right. Classified as a southern extension of the ancient Canadian Shield (nearly 4 billion years old), the mountains began as a thick layer of sediments in an ancient equatorial sea, which, through tectonic shifts, were forced deep into the crust some two billion years ago and converted to various metamorphic rocks by heat and pressure. Ten million years ago, a suspected volcanic hotspot akin to Yellowstone began forcing these rocks roughly 7000 feet (2100 m) upward. They are still rising today. The mountain range contains some 200 glacial lakes and the tallest peak is Mount Marcy, 1,629 meters (5,344 ft) above sea level. Though nearly abutting the Appalachian mountain range, they are geologically separate. The name is thought to derive from a Mohawk word _ha-de-ron-dah_ meaning 'eaters of trees', a derisive term the Iroquois people had for the native inhabitants of this rugged terrain. These people supposedly did not practice agriculture and sometimes had to resort to eating the bark of trees to survive a harsh winter season. This perception is belied by recent archeological finds which indicate the area was once inhabited by significant numbers of people in permanent settlements where farming and pottery-making skills were practiced. It's probable these earlier tribes were wiped-out by smallpox and measles introduced by European invaders. After the Revolutionary War, a cash-hungry New York government sold huge tracts of the 'desolate wilderness' to loggers for pennies per acre and subsequently many of the Adirondacks' 10,000-year-old forests were destroyed. A rapidly expanding economy In the years following the US Civil War once again threatened destruction of the entire Adirondack ecosystem. Thankfully, early environmental activism took hold and lobbying efforts resulted in creation of protected forest lands in both the Adirondack and Catskill mountain watershed regions in the late 1880's.
Add-a-ron- dak. Is how we really say it. No deer in the sound but so many deer in the Adirondacks you have to "watch out for deer" . just like Charlie Berens says to
I remember before Spirit was sent to Mars they had boasted that it could still operate if 2 of it's wheels were damaged or failed, that's why it had 6 wheels rather than 4!
Being originally from Adirondack country, it was a delight hearing you pronounce it! 😂 Considering that the name comes from a bastardization of a Native American word/phrase, I think you’re well within your rights to pronounce it as you like. As for me, I say something between “add-uh-RON-dack” and “adder-RON-deck.” Fantastic video, as always. ❤
In the US and Canada, add-uh-RON-dack is the pronunciation for both the mountains and the chair, regardless of the word's history. Anything else in conversation wouldn't be readily understood.
These two rovers were really astonishing, and their names were well chosen. They had the Spirit and they grabbed the Opportunity to show us the planet and peek into its past. Such great things we can achieve if we put our minds to it. [on a slightly different note: i really like how even this thin atmosphere is able to create the bright day effect (compared to the black sky of the bodies without an atmosphere) and i keep wondering what an amazing night-sky Mars has without ANY light pollution. And of course: how much better you could see Jupiter, Saturn or the other two ice giants from there. (when the dust does not envelops the whole thing :D ) and how much bigger it would be in a telescope. And i wonder would be able to see the moons of Jupiter without a telescope (just a dot i know, but you can pick them up here from Earth with a decent binocular... I wish Nasa would send something which could look up the sky and create some pictures of our galaxy, and the gas giants
Just to add a little something to your brilliantly-created, wonderfully informative video: Adirondack is pronounced ad-dur-RAHND-dak. Thanks again for your magnificent video.
..was just thinking, they sent a microscope to another planet to look at some rock.. It's amazing, absolutely amazing and great videos too.. thankyou 🙂
American English speaker here. 'Adirondack' is a word of Iroquoian Native American origin designating a mountain massif in northeastern New York state, pronounced 'ADD-a-ron-dack' or 'ADD-eye-ron-dack', not 'a-DEER-on-dack'.
Plus his narration needs some big time work. The voice's structure keeps sounding the same. No variety to it. It keeps repeating and it drives me nuts.
Fascinating and informative, but please: Adirondack is pronounced with the stress on the third syllable. The Martian rock is named for a mountain range in northern New York state (USA). But this is a minor point and detracts nothing from your excellent presentations. I watch them all with great interest.
Thank you Amazing video. Can you do a video on how many rovers landed on Mars, the locations they landed, their journey and the current location, status?
Please keep making these I feel like I'm waiting to watch a new episode of anime but I don't know the release date of each episode. Keep up the great work love your vids.
I was just about to say that. Maybe it's something only Americans know how to say. It's due to the shape looking like the chair style with the same name. I swear the things are everywhere here. EDIT: Or maybe it's named after the mountains. I might be dumb.
I bet it's rare that Americans even know how to pronounce Adirondack, much less folks living across the pond. But all the same, it's irritating to me too.
1 mile later..... Mission Control 1- " The Chief wants us to take a sample of Zenith for study." Mission Control 2- "OK. Where is it?" Mission Control 1- "About a half mile back. It was the 3,265,829,713th rock we cataloged 6 days ago." Mission Control 2- (Lets out a long sigh) "Right."
add-er-ondack. Four syllables, none of them are particularly accented, the "ondack" is merged, same intonation throughout. It's a mountainous park area in New York and there's a style of wooden slat furniture from the region that shares the name.
@@andredbraxton Agree too. If the narrator is going to speak so confidently he should try to pronounce words right... otherwise people will just presume he's a bot!

Can't make a diamond bit yet but I just made my first two Ruby bits! It took a lot of work because I was going through testing phases of the best way to make Ruby. I have solar fused rubies, flame fused rubies and laser fuse rubies! The laser was the best for making Ruby dust but the torch gave me bigger crystals as well as full size rubies that I can actually facet. I am building a couple different prototypes for off world but the Ruby has nothing to do with it! I thought I'd just toot my own horn, I figured out how to make a super abrasive drill bit that would work off world and I built it the same way they built their diamond bit 🤣 I'm rather proud of myself

Prepare for the worst and you will never be disappointed. Hope for the best and you will.
@@Fuzzmo147This is true, although the Voyagers aren't dealing with sharp dust, and they have RTGs instead of solar panels.
The fact that they named the random rocks they observed is very cute
Yeah scientists are such cutie pies 💓
Well, it makes any discussion around the rocks much easier if you name them instead of having to say "1998 QW2" or "2001 AU43" when deciding what asteroid to visit for the next mission.

How would do it ?

For those where English is not your first language, its pronounced “a-der-ron-dak” (its named after some mountains in New York)
Me at the beginning; McCool? That's a cool name for a hill!
Me two minutes later; ohhh no.😢
@Sarah Nguyen No one mentioned religion love. Just that a hill is named after a fallen hero.
You think bikinis are sinful?
“A Deer On Dack” lmfao!!!!!!
I’m glad they avoided that sand, it would’ve been a shame if it just got stuck
I'm getting kinda convinced the mission lenghts are always understated to avoid the negative publicity of a mission cut short.
@Sarah Nguyen I just woke up to this, and for the first time in my life, I'm gonna have to ask for a tldr.

There was a perception that Mars contained no water.
However Rocks analysis found organic rock traces and type of crystal formation.

A fan or brush can be installed to remove dust from solar panels/rocks. Just saying.
