Well, that’s a randomly placed, angry statement.

This is awesome -

On a random side note - this thing has been on another planet driving around taking pictures for almost 8 years, and we still can’t get 500 miles out of a Tesla and my cell phone won’t last the day on a charge.

Shouldn't there be something connected to the rover that is extending out of the frame of view indicating that rover is taking a picture of itself?

Was this picture taken by one of the other rovers up there?
These guys took that picture after they red dusted the Rover.

Don’t you people Internet?

WOW! That one crater in the photo is 20 miles away and is 3 miles wide.

That took a huge impact. Nuclear winter type collision.


I've seen bigger craters in the quad

Amazing Earth is able to eject a piece of metal that can be controlled remotely on another planet.

Are we sure these photos weren’t taken at Gramercy Alumina?

The hoops NASA will jump through to cover up the fact that the Earth is flat...

Christ you would think a robot could keep the arrow steady as it panned.

Wow. I wonder what civilization lived on Mars


Well Mr K would listen to his books in the evening.

Everything was okay until his wife started dreaming of earth men coming as astronauts.

He got jealous and killed them with a bee gun.



Somehow he thought they were coming to frick his wife.

Go figure.

Oh boy. That wheels slightly busted up



This has been a huge learning lesson for rovers. Has been specualted that the tire life will be what ends the rovers career.

Why do they always leave all the cables exposed? Seems like a high risk for something that is easily remedied.
