There's this interesting concept car Mazda did a while back. The vehicle caught fire when it was lend to Top Gear Magazine. It was called the Mazda Furai.
You should do a mega project on the F-15
please make a video about space X Starship.
That was quite an uplifting presentation and narration Simon
A moment of silence for the Opportunity Rover:
2004-2019 it inspired a generation of engineers and scientists with its discoveries, designed to last 90 days it instead soldiered on for 15 years.
The whole skycrane thing is absurdly amazing.
Ikr? That whole scenario could have gone ka-blewie! It was an amazing feat of engineering.
and they've done it more than once.
@@seansopata5121 I guess it's less crazy than that whole "encased in inflated bags to bounce and roll to heck and back" procedure. 😉
I'm like 80% sure it was also a napkin idea. Basically the day dreaming of an engineer in the breakroom doodling, and then coming up with the ingenious plan.
@@cheeseninja1115 It was, it was a discussion between 4 engineers while having lunch who wernt super keen on the idea of dropping their work in a baloon like we used to.
I understand the people who are all "we need to take care of earth and stop trying to find new planets" but honestly this mission is probably one of the most fascinating space missions I've ever seen. From the first RC helicopter being flown on another planet to the thousands of amazing pictures. It's absolutely crazy how far we've come with this stuff.
they fail at understanding that there are diminishing returns when putting too many resources in to a single task. it's far more efficient to keep many different fields of study open. their subconscious goal is to trap humans on earth to force us at gun point to fix the issue, and by gunpoint I mean "fix it or we all die"
pretty selfish IMO.
Everyone who says that is missing a very important detail: Space exploration, NASA as an agency, and all these missions overall have all contributed MASSIVELY to society. They act like it's mutually exclusive to do space /or/ save the world.
Climate modeling for example, requires the integrated circuit, which was basically invented by NASA and made into a Thing [tm] by Texas Instruments, as part of a PPP system in which NASA asks companies to make shit that doesn't exist, and then those companies get to get filthy rich for having done so. NASA is also responsible for LEDs, which are used to vastly reduce light bulb energy consumption. Ear thermometers, and therefore the start of point and click thermometers, were also suddenly and recently made VERY important, for reasons that I imagine are obvious. Baby formula as a replacement for breast milk in situations where the mother is compromised or separated, or just can't produce at a sufficient rate, is directly responsible for increasing infant health, overall, and contains nutritional elements created for NASA programs. Even the use of algae as food was started by this same line of inquiry, and that has lead to some potential clean fuels, carbon siphons, and so on. A mine removal method is directly attributed to NASA. So is some water purification tech, and better home insulation, which again helps energy efficiency. NASA's work in pavement that reduces wet slippage reduced accidents by a full 98%. All digital imaging for medicine beyond xrays can be traced to NASA research, starting with the CAT scan.
It's somewhat depressing that people whine about the space program in terms of cost without having /any/ idea how much it has actually provided to society. The people saying "earth first space later" aren't just missing how cool it is, or how much it does for us. They're missing the fact that many things that we can use to improve earth right now were invented by or for NASA.

Oh I watched this as it was broadcast, and I cried so many happy tears. I've been following the rovers since Pathfinder/Sojourner and it's just been SUCH a ride. The good and the bad, the embarrassing-as-hell and the triumphant. I'm hardly a scientist, and I've never been anywhere near even a model of these rovers - but I'm certainly very emotionally invested in the program, in the team, and in the dream of humans finally living on another world.
I'm in my 40s now.
It could happen in my lifetime? I can hope!
4:02 that's the thing I think a lot of people miss when it comes to finding life on Mars: if we find it there, it's likely abundant all across the universe and that's as amazing as it is absolutely frightening.
That helicopter taking flight was one of those moments where I thought "damn... Humans are pretty cool, ain't we?"
I designed the RTG (radio isotope thermoelectric generator)on the curiosity rover back in the mid 90s.
Thank you sooo much Simon! You made my week with this. Please do also look into the lightning fast development of Boca-Chica
As amazing as this is, it's only one of the steps in MSR (Mars Sample Return). I'm so excited to be involved in the project working for a vendor involved in the mission!
I hope someday I am able to share what I was involved with, but I am so ready for 2026!
Great to hear dude, btw what's happening in 2026 ?
@@JAMMIM19 2026 is the scheduled launch of one piece of MSR. Likely the lander and Mars ascent rocket.
@@jeremiahshoemaker9512 Now there’s a nice project to be involved in. Best luck with that.
@@jeremiahshoemaker9512 best of luck even if we don't find microbes still that martian sample will be awesome for research just finger crossed for microbes
Video suggestion: The russian diamond mine Tir. One of the deepest open mining pit's humankind ever dug :)
Yes! We need more pits and holes please!
4:08 that mars attacks reference made me laugh lol
Lol blaze legends ;)
Marty: So Doc, does the rover run on regular unleaded gasoline, or what about a lithium ion battery?
Doc: Nope, it requires something with a little more kick: plutonium! I made it from meccano and Lego Technic.
This sucker's nuclear?!
Can you please do a video on StarShip being developed by SpaceX?
Would it not be better to do the video after Starship has actually flown with the Superheavy?
@@chillout1109 yes it would be better after its orbital flight test crew dragon video would be better
Perhaps a biographics/business blaze about elon musk in general? Maybe a multiple part series? There are so many interesting things in that realm.
Perseverance thoughts: Glad to be away from all the dumb s**t going on back on Earth right now.
Curiosity - "I know, right?"
I'd love to join them! I could be called the Ben Dover probe...
Accurate response.
Say what you will about NASA, but their acronym game is STRONG! 😅😅
need another seven astronauts?
They have a whole team working on it, NASA Acronyms Creation, Knowledge, Engagement, Recruitment and Systems team 😁
G'day,
Not true.
NASA ran out of actual Acronyms decades ago....
The Marketing-Jism Department dropped Acronyms to make way for "Backronyms" - which occurr when a Federal Funding Begging-Letter is larded up and packed out & padded with contrived & confected Bullshit-Labels cobbled up and composed by dreaming up something the Applicant thinks will "sound Sexy" enough tittilate Congress into throwing Money at the Boondoggle - and then headscratching desperately while casting about for something sort of "Sciencey Sounding" which will sort of fit the chosen Backronym and thereafter they all trot out their Cheesy Sleazy Greasy wink-wink/nudge-nudge Bullshit and then Congress pretends to fall for the WIBNif (Wouldn't It Be Nice If..) Gambit..., and finances the proposal, anyway.
Such is life.
Have a good one...
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
Do a MegaProjects on Tesla.
Not only creating a new car company to compete with the VERY firmly established car companies, but introducing a brand new technology AND creating the infrastructure is a mega project on it's own.
I can't think of any other company that has managed to do what Tesla has.
Good idea for a Megaproject, Simon! Would love to see more of these mars rover / venus rover / space research projects
0:29 They deserve a purchase for that ad alone lmfaoo!
I love how Ingenuity carries a piece of paper from the first flight, it makes me tear up by looking how far we've come.
Btw on ingenuities 9th flight it traveled 625 m which is more than double it's original design capacity. At this stage ingenuity has been performing so well that it was switched from an experimental mission to a partially operational mission with a yet to be determined flight window I believe.
Fun fact, the US has ten nuclear powered aircraft carriers on earth and one on Mars
it isn't really an aircraft carrier, since it is a one time deploy with no possibility to get it packed up again.
@@emmata98 it carried an aircraft, its an aircraft carrier
@@jb76489 so it is decomissioned as it is no longer capable of doing so?
And from the point onward, it deploied it?
Actually 2
@@taddmaxwell8363 what is the other nuclear powered aircraft carrier on Mars?
12:42 It's amazing how we went from the Wright Flyer to Mars rovers in just 117 years.
You should do the ITER fusion reactor.
12:48 from a little airplane made from cloth and wood to a helicopter on another planet in little over 100 years, wow
In a similar vein, Wright Brothers to man on the moon in less than a human lifetime.
This is so amazing!!!
Need a MEGA-project idea?
How about the science station at the South Pole?
It might not look like much from the outside, holy crap.... its at the South freaking POLE.
Until the have a station at the bottom of the ocean, that's gotta be the hardest place to put anything and keep it there for decades, with people in it!
When the parachute first opens is pure beauty 😘🖤
Mega project. "Internal combustion engine"
awesome video. I'm obsessed with NASA so this is right up my alley.
How about the SpaceX Starship and the Super Heavy Rocket. Thanks for your time, work and posting.
Hey Simon... I hope your collarbone ia getting better 💪
Fun fact: the room where the mission controllers sit at JPL has a plaque on the floor that says “centre of the universe”
My brother spent years working on PIXL which was visible on top of the rover as it was lowered to the surface. It's kind of distinctive (bright white box) so it definitely added a personal note to those images for us.
You should really do SpaceXs Starship program. If that's not a mega project I don't know what is. And it will be the next chapter in the Mars story.
also the first part of a bigger Mars-mission to bring sampels of Mars to Earth.
Simon you hit this one out of the park. Fantastic video! Thank you
"With the human race rather haphazardly attempting to deal with a global pandemic, Mars 2020 blasted clear from plague planet on the 30th of July." This line has some of the best descriptions of the past two years for me...
The reliability of these rovers is an engineering marvel. Extremely harsh environment yet they continue to function. And when it takes hundreds of millions to get this small machine onto that far away planet you better hope every calculation was triple checked, the amount of stress that would cause is insane lol. I’m stressed out in my engineering design role when getting a new part cut would cost $10k 😂
Great as always. The V in Atlas V is a roman numeral. It's Atlas 5
I get almost excited driving past JPL as I get all Day standing in line at Disneyland. Goosebumpyishly Giddy
I have been highly anticipating this episode.
Legendary.
Straight up bad assery.
Can you do fort de vaux? Its very interesting how the French forces defended it in WW1 and I’d like to know more about how it was built as well😊
Love the video! I was wondering will there ever be a megaproject video on the eurofighter typhoon, i feel like it was a pretty mega project with many countries!
3 basketball's ? whats that in tin's of beans ?......cheers.
Excellent job Simon, you where right on about a good event to lift our sprits durning COVID-19 and Climate Change . . .
The Mars Defense Grid must be conserving ammo.
The grid only goes in full defensive mode when any incoming vehicle or lifeform tries to dig more than 2 meters underground.
???
@@thomasschamber3653....Woosh!
A-10 Warthog/Thunderbolt II video please?
Please do a video on the National ignition facility “NIF” at Lawrence Livermore
Oh! Yeah, that's a good topic. So many billions down the drain on that thing.
Simon, this was not the first audio from another planet. We had audio from Venus long time ago when the Soviets went.
About Ingenuity, the amount of stuff it has done so far has massively passed the plans. Flight 9 was 600 meters, twice what it was originally planned for both in missions and flight distance
I love the Mars Attacks clips... But I really wish the writer had slipped in a Slim Whitman quote in there somewhere that Simon would have never caught.
15:30 This was not first audio from different planet - first was ZSSR Venera 14 Sound Recording 1982 from Venus
My pal Jason designed the microphone experiment! He is putting lander cameras on a future Moon landing to study the exhaust plume interaction with the surface
as write this, there is 11,448 views and 112 comments.. and it only been a few hours.. These videos rock !! truly listed as my favorite! He needs to do one on something here in Maine.. that would be awesome..
its not a V, its the Roman Numeral for 5, so its an Atlas V(5) 541 (5 - Payload fairing size (options of 4m or 5m with 3rd Option i'll add at the end), 4 - SRB's, 1 Centaur Upper Stage number of Engines (SEC - 1/DEC - 2).
there is also the Atlas V N22 which is used to launch the Boeing Starliner with No Payload fairing, 2 Boosters and 2 Engines on that Centaur.
the Atlas 5 is however due to be replaced by Vulcan or rather Vulcan Centaur as it will retain that ever versatile Centaur Upper Stage and will use Blue Origin's BE-4 METHLOX Engine to replace the Russian Built RD-180....due to wouldn't you believe it....Politics because ULA (including Boeing) is severely limited in the ability to purchase new RD-180 engines for Atlas V. and so Atlas...the most widely used launch vehicle in US History is coming to an end, after its beginnings as a pretty crap ICBM to a very successful launch vehicle to propel most Mars Missions onwards to their Journey from US Soil.
I found quite funny that rover is made in a clean room and now is collecting dust on Mars xD
Clean room is to try and keep biological contamination to a minimum.
thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ingenuity was my favourite part
These videos are a great way to learn! How about a video on the SpaceX Starship?
Hey Simon! For another Megaproject , you can look at SpaceX's Starship. It's still ongoing, but it is well documented, and I think once it makes it's first orbital flight either later this year or early next year, you should have enough material for a video on it
4:40 ... well, Simon, we sorta ARE on the verge of sending people to Mars... Surely you've been aware of what's going on in Boca Chica, Texas? Ten years or less... maybe as few as 6....
Building a proper space station and a moon base makes more sense to start
@@spritemon98 I dunno... If we hesitate, like we did in the 70's we could wind up going in circles for decades again, like with the shuttle and ISS. As soon as we have the capability we need to go. The Saturns could have done it with multiple launches and we lost the will.
Perseverance : The first nuclear aircraft carrier on another world.
Can you do one on the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine. The largest open mine in the world.
When did Scott manly grow a beard?
After seeing this was totally waiting on him to say "Fly Safe!" haha
Do a spacex starship video pleaseee
Simon when you say “it sucks more” is that a positive or negative condensation.
The Soviets received audio recordings of the surface of Venus from Venera 13 in 1981. Those were the first sounds we heard of another planet.
Simon! Do one on the Bradley IFV!!
If we do find proof of life on Mars the question will be if it's from the same base as ours. If it is that will tell us that at some point either Mars or Earth contaminated each other, whereas if it isn't then yes, life is likely everywhere.
Watched it live ♡♡
there goes my hopes of seeing an atmosphere processor, from Aliens, on Mars
A megaproject is Simon having a break... or sending out a secret message telling the world of his incarceration within UA-cam...
He broke his collarbone in a mountain biking accident..... Still kept going, lol
Actually the first audio recording on a different planet was on Venus by the Russians. Doesn’t make it less awesome but it’s worth mentioning
You should do a video on the new horizons misson to Pluto
7 people must just hate life in general.
Seriously, I saw that was like "WTF"?
Don’t know if you done a video on the Iowa Class Battleships yet specifically NJ fastest battleship in history
Second audio recording from another planet. There was a russian craft that landed on Venus back in the 80s I think that recorded the first piece of audio
Only the Missenden flyer can communicate more information in 20 minutes
Kudos for pronouncing "jezero" correctly :-)
(it means "lake" in many languages)
Will you do a video on the poison garden in England?
My name is on Mars right now
NASA has a PR campaign send your name to Mars. So I can say my name is on the Martian surface
I agree: life on mars > humans on mars
Good video 👍
MY NAME IS ON IT. Along with 10.7 million others.
Also keep a eye on SpaceX
I love how you take a word salad of a name for something and then go, yeah it searches for minerals.
the helicopter surprised me when it actually flew, it just proves how math really is the language of the universe.
Edit: To test Ingenuity on earth they used a large vacuum chamber (big enough for a few people). They attached a pulley system to the top of the craft and pulled 2 thirds of its weight up so it would 'weigh" as much as it would on mars.
It’s crazy. They had a guy who was considered one of the best drone helicopter pilots on Earth try to fly it and he couldn’t keep up with it. It needs a computer’s reflexes to fly.

"Just how ingenious [American] humans can be."
Let's be honest, that manscaped trimmer is a pretty crappy trimmer😅
The more you see a product being pushed by UA-camrs, the more certain you can be that it's garbage. Raycon is another perfect example.
How about a falcon rocket video
So now that we have two nations with functioning robots on the red planet, how long do you think it will take us, to have the first; "Robot Wars on Mars!"-show?
Maybe you should make the groin strimmer story a megaproject
As anyone in computer, automotive, and structural design can tell you, Murphy was an optimist. It shouldn't be "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." It should go "EVERYTHING that can go wrong will go wrong."
In both sentences, 'Anything' and 'Everything' pretty much means the same thing.
@@MrT------5743 English isn't your first language, is it?
@@hellcat1988 So Murphy was an optimist because he used the word ANYTHING and you think a pessimist would use EVERYTHING. News flash! Anything that can do wrong, also means everything that can do wrong. The key parts of this is CAN GO WRONG. Meaning if it can't go wrong, guess what genius! by definition it can't go wrong.
Now you were the first to try and claim your two sentences are vastly different when they are pretty much the same. Now who doesn't know English.
English lesson: Anything is a pronoun that can refer to any object, event or matter. Everything is a pronoun that means to encompass all. So anything means anything which includes everything. Everything means everything which also includes anything.
English much?
@@MrT------5743 You just proved that they are different to argue they are the same. Is there something beyond the double facepalm?
@@hellcat1988 nope I just proved they are not the opposite which was what you think. Opposite of anything is nothing, not everything. You need to go back are learn definitions.
