Latest footage of Mars

I don't know if I could get used to that sound.

Awesome footage, but it really is just a desert, I have no idea why Musk wants to colonise it so bad. There is no going around the long-term effects its gravity would have on the human body. And you can forget about having kids there.

Intelligent design?

That’s crying out for a neighborhood of Modern Farmhouse homes!

Shouldn't this be a "Tasteful Friends" thread?

With granite countertops and room for entertaining?

Not to worry, you'd be unconscious and then dead within moments of hearing it (i.e by removing your helmet).

And one of these, R6:

R7 I'm pretty sure you would have to hear it somehow through your boots or something it's extremely loud as planets go

Cool, but I'm waaay more interested in the visitors to our planet.

Me either, R1. I pretty much need white/green/brown noise to sleep, but Mars sounds like ten Chinooks going simultaneously. Back in 2019 we had hurricane-force sustained winds of 40-85 mph for at least 7 hours, and that shit was disconcerting as hell. So sorry, Mars, though you are my Sun sign (my only Sun sign), you and I won't dance.

But did anyone else notice quite a few of those rocks look like fossils? One looked like a coelacanth or other grotesque prehistoric fish; and couple others look like middle-period ammonites.

Very cool, OP!

I wish I were alone with Matt Damon in there.

“Tasteful friends . . . “

I bet there's already a Walgreens there, just out of camera shot.

Seattle after earthquakes and climate change.

Sending humans there is one of the most idiotic ideas ever. EVER.

It ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact, it's cold as hell. And there's no one there to raise them -- if you did.

Musk can have it. Take Trump while you're at it.

Is this another tasteful friends thread?

I’m always hoping to see Bowie popping up somewhere in full-on 70s’ Glam

I wasn't aware of that sound until I saw and heard this video. So creepy.

"Musk can have it. Take Trump while you're at it."

Don't forget the third asshole in this neofascist triumvirate: Peter Thiel.

I prefer it to parts of the South.

R22 yeah, I think this kind of ruins it for me.

It sounds like parts of ‘Remain In Light”

On Mars, all seemed to breathe peace and freedom, and to make one forget the Earth and its sad turmoils.

I would love to see Elon there. You know, farming and stuff.

Why isn’t someone mixing this into their music 🎵?

I guess that gray patch ahead near the end of the video is not water or there would be plant life around it.

And that abandoned oil drum? What kind of weirdos come and leave these?

Earthlings, stop leaving your shit on our planet!

The Martians

FAG!

The sound and the landscape are vaguely Felliniesque. I like it! Someone *should* incorporate this into music, R29… though I’m sure it has been done by producers in obscurity somewhere.

I’m always lulled into a semi-trance by the rythmic noise whenever I get an MRI, and know of people who’ve incorporated those sounds as well into their experimental techno, so I’m sure someone is on the ball re Mars!

NASA's Perseverance Rover Captures the Sounds of Mars

This is where I'm moving to if Trump wins.

That Facebook link doesn’t work for me

R15 - it’s next to the Starbucks and down the road from Walmart.

Apparently the most Earth-like body in the solar system (there's a Chrissy Metz joke in there somewhere) is actually Titan, one of Saturn's moons.

I love planet shit. I love knowing Earth can't survive without Jupiter. It's gravity is like a vacuum cleaner. It sucks in all the little meteors that would pummel Earth on a nonstop basis.

Is that what the rings of Jupiter consist of?

What is Uranus for?

Can anyone explain what causes that sound? It sounds creepy as fuck.

Almost all of the noise is caused by the craft. The rest is high winds combined with a strange, low density atmosphere.

Thank you r44.

The camera didn’t swing 360.

I love their candy bar.

Was the NASA scanning device from Acme?

Fake! We have never been to Mars!

I love ❤️ that “we” have managed to get a car on mars

The average temperature on Mars is around -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-63 degrees Celsius), considered very cold, with temperatures ranging from a high of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) to a low of -225 degrees Fahrenheit (-153 degrees Celsius) depending on the time of day and season.

Key points about Mars' temperature: Cold average: The median surface temperature is around -85 degrees Fahrenheit (-65 degrees Celsius).

Thin atmosphere: Mars' thin atmosphere allows heat from the sun to easily escape, contributing to the cold temperatures.

Seasonal variations: Like Earth, Mars experiences seasons, with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night.

Dust storms: Large dust storms can cover the planet and impact temperatures.
