All the videos, songs, images, and graphics used in the video belong to their respective owners and I or this channel does not claim any right over them.
The uploaded video had both a historic value and also somewhat entertaining value. Were first time NASA sucessfully landed a rover on Mars, in order for the rover to drive on the Mars surface to capture images, and also do scientific experiments.
Here's the continuation of my recordings from CNN's Live Event. We hear that NASA have to work out a small problem with the airbags in both front and back of the rover, are on top of the panels. So they need to work around this small problem, before rolling out the rover down the ramps/panels. Things needs to be carefully analysed, because even small problems can get to big problems, obvious because if rover gets stuck, there's no way of correcting this with that great distance to Mars.
Historic info (copy-paste from Part 1):
NASA had missions to Mars before, but were stationary landers.
Viking 1 and 2 were a pair of NASA Mars landers and orbiters that launched in 1975 and arrived in 1976.
The first successful flyby of Mars was on 14–15 July 1965, by NASA's Mariner 4. On November 14, 1971, Mariner 9 became the first space probe to orbit another planet when it entered into orbit around Mars.
As of 2023, the Soviet Union, United States and China have conducted Mars landings successfully. Soviet Mars 3, which landed in 1971, was the first successful Mars landing, though the spacecraft failed after 110 seconds on the surface.
Mars Pathfinder is an American robotic spacecraft that landed a base station with a roving probe on Mars in 1997. It consisted of a lander, renamed the Carl Sagan Memorial Station, and a lightweight, 10.6 kg (23 lb) wheeled robotic Mars rover named Sojourner, the first rover to operate outside the Earth–Moon system.
Sojourner spent 83 days of a planned seven-day mission exploring the Martian terrain, snapping photographs and taking chemical, atmospheric and other measurements.
Sojourner traveled just over 100 meters (330 ft) by the time communication was lost.[5] Its final confirmed command was to remain stationary until October 5, 1997, (sol 91) and then drive around the lander;[6] there is no indication it was able to do so. The Sojourner mission formally ended on March 10, 1998, after all further options were exhausted.

Thanks for watching. Regards from Krusty.
BTW Had housefire earlier in 2023, and lost everything.
If possible, I would appreciate any kind of donation. I have the link on my Youtube Profile, and here below. Thanks in advance.
If I get any kind of donations, I will use it for upgrading my system. And get better content.

BTW 2: The quality of this video are somewhat a bit blurry, and sometimes some distortion will occur. I recorded the Live event on VHS, and later burned to DVD using my dual machine with both VHS and DVD drive. And in the end, ripped from DVD to mkv HEVC format. And uploaded lastly here to Youtube. Even thou older technologies used back in 1997, I think the quality are pretty decent.
