NASA’s Mars Curiosity Rover Report #8
NASA,JPL,Mars,Curiosity,Rover,Report,MSL
A NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover team member gives an update on developments and status of the planetary exploration mission. The Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft delivered Curiosity to its target area on Mars at 1:31:45 a.m. EDT on Aug. 6, which includes the 13.8 minutes needed for confirmation of the touchdown to be radioed to Earth at the speed of light. The rover will conduct a nearly two-year prime mission to investigate whether the Gale Crater region of Mars ever offered conditions favorable for microbial life.
Curiosity carries 10 science instruments with a total mass 15 times as large as the science payloads on NASA’s Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity. Some of the tools, such as a laser-firing instrument for checking rocks’ elemental composition from a distance, are the first of their kind on Mars. Curiosity will use a drill and scoop, which are located at the end of its robotic arm, to gather soil and powdered samples of rock interiors, then sieve and parcel out these samples into the rover’s analytical laboratory instruments.

But I’m learning from him. He quit his job and moved cross-country because he knew he could do better and deserved better. I’m doing the same thing! Except instead of quitting a network and moving to California, I quit my job at a coffee shop and I’m moving to Vermont. Still, I’m packing all my stuff and it doesn’t seem funny, yet.
I’ll change my cat’s name to Andy and see what happens.
Have a good week, Bosingr.
Nice update — keep up the good work !!!
Hopefully you will flumux the creationists !!
Apple is also on the way.…. 🙂
Well, dependant on the pressure, but yeah, Mars’ pressure is too low to form liquid CO2. Your point is valid though, as moons such as Titan have liquid methane (CH4). But, there is no evidence for any liquids on Mars any more, what curiosity is looking for is evidence for past liquids, and these would most likely have been water, due to the make up of the most abundant chemicals, namely water ice at the poles, and no evidence of hydrocarbons (carbon and hydrogen containing molecules).

What if mars used to be like Earth but then a major extinction happened, which made us send out our organism’s to Earth which explains why tardigrades can survive in space!
Cono bro esto esta cabron
And if the camera scans over the hill you’ll see a major Martian city but lets return to the gravel beneath the rovers wheels.
I should have saved the link to the video where NASA scientists have already stated that there IS liquid water on Mars NOW. (I’ll try to post the link) They say it must be quite saline though. Please check it out and add it to the NASA “fact” sheet. I’m sure people are looking for the latest findings and not the older lies like a flat earth sitting on turtles.
Check out the following: “NASA: Evidence of water on Mars”
Now they can explain the past pictures where Lakes are clearly (and debate-ably) present. According to NASA temperatures in some areas rise to 70+ f. Don’t criticize before you investigate. In my opinion the current mission is meant to put us back to sleep by examining gravel (doing science) while the real mission continues in secret (National Security). Check the videos and the pictures, where would you pilot the rover?
Because it would melt.
“We” have been on Mars? Don’t really feel like I ever left earth. Of course water is on mars. Not enough for boating though.
There is likely life or evidence of life from earth on mars. large meteor strikes on earth have ejected tons of rocks into space and some of it surely has/will find its way to mars. some may have also come from the many vehicles that we have flung there. If there ever was martian life forms they may have seeded earth in this way also.
nasa is a science oriented organization not there for sightseeing. this rover is a geological laboratory mainly. I don’t think they are going to find anything that will make most people go WOW! It’s just science.
mars cant hold an atmosphere because it has no magnetic field which allowed the solar wind to blow it away
Very nice!
BRASIL!
1 outa a billion pebbles is round
amazing stuff! see what we can achieve when we work together…corporate control of media and wars for no reason are destroying us all
Melt Ruins Pollution
nice presentation
