that thing landed on mars

I heard it happen on coast to coast AM.. I hope they find something awesome!

 

Mars is about 20mins north of me.. Its near Zelienople and Warrendale off of I79..

 

I don't really understand what it could find, there are already little robots up there doing the same thing anyway, and satellites taking pictures. Just seems like another waste of money, could be wrong though!

 

"that thing landed on mars"


There goes the neighborhood...

 

it was amazing how they got that thing to enter, descend, land..

 

No dat shits easy, check it out...

they found a field of martian budz

 

that's reallly cool. its like one of apolyphelion's rube goldberg machines.

 

This is the biggest robot as far.
It is going to study rocks and minerals, look for traces of life that might have existed there in past. Will continue doing what other robots ended. Will search for organics, water. And shitload of other things.

They really didn't send it there because they were bored.

I understand that you might be not interested in all of that or don't have any knowledge about topics related to it, but saying that it is another waste of money is just too fucking ignorant for me.

Is this thread about me? I'm back already

 

LOL, it is for the moment!

:cheers2: cheers!

 

I guess it has its own twitter account.

If it were me on Mars, my tweets would be like "whoa, you should see the gnarly rocks up here"

 

I would be like why do I have to send a song from a certain will.i.am (is that name supposed to look/sound clever?) from here?

:cheers2:

 

I was surprised they didnt show that on tv

 

After the bullshit moon landings, is this just more of the same.

Absolutely...........

 

Hope they find somthing. What an engineering feat.

 

I love that we are on Mars. United States of Space! :sunny:

 

I bet that thing is looking for oil....
