The Beauty of Rovers
On this video, the illustrious director of Jet Propulsion Laboratory and vice president of The California Institute of Technology, presents to us the advances that rovers have made during the past years, and the important roles, along with the satellites, these instruments play when discovering and enriching the extensive information of the planets on the Milky Way. The main researched planet until this day is Mars, the place of rovers' examinations. I decided to write about this video because of the controversial quote of John Martinez, a fellow classmate that said that more technological advances should be focused in astronautical examination. I would have to say that these companies uphold the best kits of technology out there, obviously given y the government. this videos shows the arduous path of getting these rovers into other planets and the risk scientists have to solve during the landing and other issues like the composition of the planet, the amount of radiation, and the surface of the planet. If you think we can progress at a faster pace you are more than welcome to write a comment giving your opinion and supporting why you think that way.
