it we’re finally searching for life on the Red Planet hi I’m Rebecca Brayton
the Red Planet hi I’m Rebecca Brayton
the Red Planet hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to watchmojo.com and today
and welcome to watchmojo.com and today
and welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be shedding some light on the
we’ll be shedding some light on the
we’ll be shedding some light on the Phoenix Mars mission tell us about the
Phoenix Mars mission tell us about the
Phoenix Mars mission tell us about the Mars mission the Mars mission is really
Mars mission the Mars mission is really
Mars mission the Mars mission is really something that’s very unique right now
something that’s very unique right now
something that’s very unique right now in exploration of planets first off it’s
in exploration of planets first off it’s
in exploration of planets first off it’s an international mission the Phoenix
an international mission the Phoenix
an international mission the Phoenix lander which landed end of May of this
lander which landed end of May of this
lander which landed end of May of this year is is unique because it’s landed in
year is is unique because it’s landed in
year is is unique because it’s landed in the far north of Mars this is the first
the far north of Mars this is the first
the far north of Mars this is the first time we’re actually exploring the
time we’re actually exploring the
time we’re actually exploring the northern Arctic region of another planet
northern Arctic region of another planet
northern Arctic region of another planet it’s a really neat mission because it’s
it’s a really neat mission because it’s
it’s a really neat mission because it’s going to be looking for water and that’s
going to be looking for water and that’s
going to be looking for water and that’s really the mantra of NASA’s exploration
really the mantra of NASA’s exploration
really the mantra of NASA’s exploration of the red planet is looking for water
of the red planet is looking for water
of the red planet is looking for water because we think water is a key
because we think water is a key
because we think water is a key ingredient for life how did they finally
ingredient for life how did they finally
ingredient for life how did they finally manage to get there this mission has
manage to get there this mission has
manage to get there this mission has been in the works for over five years
been in the works for over five years
been in the works for over five years and it took over ten months for the
and it took over ten months for the

mission team because there’s been so
mission team because there’s been so many failures tell us about the red
many failures tell us about the red
many failures tell us about the red planet about Mars Mars is really a
planet about Mars Mars is really a
planet about Mars Mars is really a planet of extremes and I’d say probably
planet of extremes and I’d say probably
planet of extremes and I’d say probably it’s gonna be a key destination for any
it’s gonna be a key destination for any
it’s gonna be a key destination for any extreme sport lovers it has the largest

studying Mars tell us anything about
studying Mars tell us anything about Earth’s this is gonna help us understand
Earth’s this is gonna help us understand
Earth’s this is gonna help us understand the climate change that we’re
the climate change that we’re
the climate change that we’re experiencing here on earth so by looking

earth-like it’ll help us basically
earth-like it’ll help us basically better the computer models that we use
better the computer models that we use
better the computer models that we use to track everything to understand

things like the hurt hurricanes like
things like the hurt hurricanes like Hurricane Katrina have there been any
Hurricane Katrina have there been any
Hurricane Katrina have there been any discoveries yet when Phoenix had landed

the thrusters that helped it touch down so gently basically brushed away the
so gently basically brushed away the
so gently basically brushed away the topsoil and exposed fresh ice water ice
topsoil and exposed fresh ice water ice
topsoil and exposed fresh ice water ice and that was like the most amazing thing
and that was like the most amazing thing
and that was like the most amazing thing and of course the robotic arm that’s
and of course the robotic arm that’s
and of course the robotic arm that’s attached to the lander has been scraping
attached to the lander has been scraping
attached to the lander has been scraping up this ice and analyzing it what is the
up this ice and analyzing it what is the
up this ice and analyzing it what is the future for humans on Mars right now NASA
future for humans on Mars right now NASA
future for humans on Mars right now NASA has a plan a long-term plan of sending
has a plan a long-term plan of sending
has a plan a long-term plan of sending humans to Mars by the year 2030 and a
humans to Mars by the year 2030 and a
humans to Mars by the year 2030 and a key component is as bringing resources

and now that we found water on Mars this
and now that we found water on Mars this is gonna alleviate a lot of problems
is gonna alleviate a lot of problems
is gonna alleviate a lot of problems water of course can be used to not just
water of course can be used to not just
water of course can be used to not just make say greenhouses make food for us
