The Launch of Perseverance to Mars
This was a pretty extraordinary experience - thanks to NASA for inviting me! The Atlas V 541 rocket took off carrying the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity the Mars helicopter at 7:50 am July 30, 2020. They should arrive in about seven months on February 18, 2021

Incredible sound
I took my whole family out to the beach that morning!! We live about 125 miles straight south, the morning was so clear & blue we saw it easily. Very epic
it reminds me Gattaca 😌
For a moment I thought he was David Thewlis, then he moved his head to the side and the look a like siezed to exist.
Emotional? Yes. Filled with sadness over the immense waste of resources and the extremely high environmental impact that every rocket launch represents. Mars doesn't need our litter, the atmosphere on Earth doesn't need the tons of additional carbon released by that single rocket and millions of people could use the government money that goes into the space program to pay for health services and housing. For me, he "Neato" factor surrounding rockets has faded as I consider the human and ecological costs involved.

@lo-fi ROBOT Boy it’s a cost, although it’s on the order of 1,000-10,000 times less pollution than the airline industry. For that small cost, we get a big benefit, not only in earth observation and new materials and products developed through space flight, but also we learn more about extraterrestrial environments and challenges we and robotic explorers face in them.

@A B a small waste is still a waste. the tonnes of fuel and other resources expended by Nasa, Space-X and others is a significant source of emissions.

It’s truly insignificant compared to all other emissions. And with NASA using 0.48% of the US budget for all its earth observation and space exploration, it’s a good deal. You’re not going to solve all the worlds problems with 0.48% of the budget.
I will never forget the sound from my first rocket launch...
Can someone get my man a pair of sunglasses pls
1:53 : Pure joy and amazement.
Derek, I have only recently discovered your channel. Love it! Sorry I missed you at the launch. Even after 20 missions to Mars for ULA, it never gets old for our team. If you'd like to do this again and be a little closer to the pad, just let me know. I know a guy. ;) -Tory

In a past life I was into some spiritual things, and hearing you now describing the lunch almost sounded like a religious experience, it would have taken people in the past great effort to reach this out of body experience and to approximately get to a similar realisation about our humble position in the universe (Even without knowing what we know now about it)... Other than that parallel what fascinates me is how technology is facilitating a similar experience almost on demand and for no effort relatively speaking, as if it has short circuited the experience!
I'll never forget the way it felt to feel the ground shake when I watched my first launch and living in Melbourne I was close to the cape and it never got old to me I still love it
Hi Derek, does NASA really embeds names on a microchip and sends with on rovers or orbiters to Mars? From there campaign send your name to Mars?

Yes, it’s a chip (3 actually), on the rover.
Why isn't this video being recommended to absolutely everyone? Barely any new comments. Anyways, it was cool watching this video when it came out and then seeing the video of the same rover landing on Mars. Make me wish I could've seen the launch myself, and also makes me wish I could live to the age where just maybe, I can see this rover on the Martian surface for myself.
And it lands ✨
Stupid mask
Welp, perseverance just landed on mars.. What a great moment to be alived
Anybody here after the landing ?
It has landed :)
It landed Thursday 18/02/2021 just before 1pm WIIII
It landed successful 🙌😊
Waiting people to comment here again after the landing :)
I AM HERE AFTER PERSEVERANCE SUCCESSFULLY LANDED TO MARS
Came from the future to say that it landed strong and healthy.

Why they don’t send the rocket through the ozone hole , may be less energy will be required to push out of the atmosphere 😅

Dude, you're wearing a mask!
Seeing this video is crazy in perspective. I watched this live with my dad in the morning. Hundreds of thousands of others shared that experience, along with people on the ground such as Veritassium.
Everyone who reads this: Look up at the sky tonight. Look at the Moon. Do you see the terminator line of light and dark? Adjust yourself to that perspective. Do you see how its somewhere between being perpendicular (equator) or is slanted? Thats the curve of the Earth for you. You are sitting on the curve of a massive body of mass. A huge celestial body. Sitting on it, looking up at an object orbiting past you at thousands of miles/meters per second. Hurtling past. Watch the Moon, arch across the sky past you. It puts things into perspective. You, a tiny small specimen, are watching the Moon pass over, over 300,000 kilometers away. Seeing it from your position on a massive ellipsoid, orbiting around a massive star, accounting for over 98% the mass of the solar system. That is why we need to go to space. We were always meant to explore.

hey dude why are you wearing a muzzle? Do you really believe. it will protect you from the virus? And this is a man who is telling us about the science, my Gosh!
I've been at a launch and boy does the sound get me everytime
You bet we subscribed to this “extremely informative” channel!!
when the wright brothers first took flight it was a big deal, but now, planes do so every day. I wonder how long until these become commonplace as well.
were 3 months away
100 years from now.. probably less..some kid sitting in spacecraft watching this old video and wondering about how amused this man at 1:53 is just to see something take off
He was right it's a miracle, the sky is clear for the first time
I remember seeing my first rocket launch several hundred miles south in West Palm Beach. A few hundred people gathered at the top of the parking structure at Palm Beach International Airport. From that far away, and perpendicular to the flight path of the rocket, you can really get a sense of the speed it is reaching to get to orbit. Years later, another Mars orbiter was launched from Vandenberg AFB here in California. My wife and I got up early in the morning to see it. We found a secluded area (where other people were also waiting to see it), and we saw it leaving earth. Seeing it down range had a similar effect in perceiving the speed it had to reach. Our eyes were the last to see it in person before it left earth’s gravity to reach Mars...rockets never get old!!!
The moment I realized I was on a rock going threw space was when I took 3gs of shrooms for the first time 🤣
@Veritasium From 1:39 we can hear a sound. Is it from the rocket motors or the air resistance?
Nice mask out in the middle of a field douche bag

Did you say “It really hit the dome” or it really hit home? The sharp right turn “doing its turn to the east” is baffling! There’s no way you are so intelligent and you believe this makes sense.

@hauntified Nasa spun a yarn long enough for me to knit a blanket to cover the world in darkness! After that, I'll get the yarn they spun with "we can't go back to the moon because we lost the technology to do that" and I'll knit a flag that reads, "YOU ARE AN IDIOT!" I'll fly my rocket ship to the moon and plant it right next to the American flag to wave in the breeze. Everytime you look at the moon you can remember what an idiot you are, okay? When I get back from the moon, you can catch me outside, How bout that?

Why shouldn't this make sense? Getting into orbit is more about reaching a high enough _sideways_ speed than a certain altitude, so the rocket has to pitch over shortly after launch. The profile of a typical rocket trajectory is more or less like this: 78.media.tumblr.com/784c1c2464835cb6ec454b56c9a39c1c/tumblr_pckz9vW2zi1t4esr2o1_1280.jpg 66.media.tumblr.com/1d1186e61f2cde1d57053a85354013d6/tumblr_pi99jaAduS1t4esr2o1_1280.jpg

The dichotomy of it all. A rocket trail like that can be the very symbol of hope, or the very harbinger of oblivion. What a strange world we live in.

I got that feeling of cosmic awarness when i saw the moon during the day a couple years back. I remember noticing how the edge of the shadowed part of the moon was almost straight but had a slight curve to it, and i realised that you could probably use that curve to calculate how close the moon was to the earth. That opened my eyes

You’re not an early riser
“All of a sudden you feel it in your body. The sound of force propagating slower than the light will hit your body and will really shake you. It’s this almost out of body experience that you’re apart of. Taking off from the shore of the cosmic ocean, you know for me its like punching a hole in the sky.” - Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen
India se kon kon dekh rha hai?
I also saw it launch, it was my first too
Derek just seems like such a genuine & pure guy
where are all the views???
why so little views???
If you ever get the chance, watch a Vega launch.
Thank you so much. Watching you having so intense fun and joy and redistribute it so nicely is the best thing I’ve seen since a lot of time. Thank you.

Go watch to fuel dragsters. It's a experience you can't explain with words.
If Elon Mask was also there during the launch then it would have been harder to recognize who is Derek and who is Elon. both look similar
Would it be possible to compute the velocity of the rocket from the recording? I can see Doppler effect in the video but maybe we could extract some information from it?
You have no idea , how much i love laminar flow. Turbulent flow what i see ....

Chad Gage and where were our ancestors compared to humanity today. They didn’t have houses, plumbing. People used to die from the a scratch and more of them would die from the flu. If we never vaccinated because “it muzzles in the face of adversity” then a lot more people would have lost their lives.
