NASA Rover Drill Pulls First Taste From Mars Mountain
“This drilling target is at the lowest part of the base layer of the mountain, and from here we plan to examine the higher, younger layers exposed in the nearby hills,” said Curiosity Deputy Project Scientist Ashwin Vasavada of JPL. “This first look at rocks we believe to underlie Mount Sharp is exciting because it will…

These droids are so personable! Their tweets are far more advanced than any teabillly Palinesque messaging: Curiosity Rover @MarsCuriosity · Sep 21 I’m rolling out the red carpet on the Red Planet for the newest Mars orbiter. Welcome, @MAVEN2Mars! https://twitter.com/marscuriosity

These droids are so personable as they meet and greet each other: Namaste, @MarsOrbiter! Congratulations to @ISRO and India’s first interplanetary mission upon achieving Mars orbit.
Their tweets are far brighter than the teabillly’s: Curiosity Rover @MarsCuriosity · Sep 21 I’m rolling out the red carpet on the Red Planet for the newest Mars orbiter. Welcome, @MAVEN2Mars! https://twitter.com/marscuriosity Curiosity / Maven in 2016~

This is so cool! Humans are very curious creatures and ever since we climbed down from the trees the stars have been calling… Achievements like these validate our essential quest of understanding how we got here, where we’re going. And perhaps one day answer that most nagging question, “Are we alone?” Ancient Astronaut Theory says “No!”

we aint alone and being watched watched by them makes me think of us as just one more speck in an infinity of specks.

One of the more intriguing theories has it that early humans mistook alien visitors as gods… and, well, you know the rest of the story.

I don’t think we’re alone, do you?
Carla Akins September 27th, 2014 at 07:31
It takes tremendous arrogance or complete to think we are alone in this universe. I’m with you and fahvel – we’re but a speck.
Anomaly 100 September 27th, 2014 at 07:45
I’ve always thought that. It wasn’t too long ago that some people thought I was crazy for thinking that.

You wanna conquer the world, you’re going to need lawyers, right?
greenfloyd September 27th, 2014 at 08:42
I feel like the jilted lover, “Oh, why don’t they call?” I mean, what’s wrong? It’s been more than two million years, give or take a milleniem or two. Is it something we said? Is there an odor problem? Or are we playing second-fiddle to Orian’s Belt? It’s so unfair. Still, we die alone.

They probably think we’re too primitive. If any of them wanted to conquer Earth, they’re probably thinking, “Why waste our time. They’re destroying humanity already. We’ll just take Earth after the last human draws his or her last breath.”
Now don’t you feel better?;-)

Oh, you know… it’s just so hard, all the good aliens have been taken or moved to that swanky Delta Quadrant. Frankly we’re not getting any younger… Yet, perhaps Mother is right and we should be careful what we wish for, we could all wind up speaking Klingon.

You know how those One Percenter Delta Quadranters are like!
greenfloyd September 27th, 2014 at 23:15
Yes! First they “Paved paradise and put up a parking lot,” now it’s gated communities on the Moon. What’s next?

I bet you’re psyched about the Martians coming Grandma? I mean, you’ve seen a lot of crazy stuff already. Everyone must have been real scared when they invented the train!

I don’t have any grandchildren. Did you confuse me with someone else that you know?

If calling me ‘grandma’ is supposed to be an insult, then you did a bad job. Grandparents are awesome. So are trains…

did the ancient martians leave old maps with the names of places? If not, how audacious of the human specie to assume they can arrive and dump titles wherever they wish.
greenfloyd September 27th, 2014 at 05:08
In the absence of any “maps” or other signs of intelligent life, as we know it, the identification of places falls to the explorers.

It’s hard to top the audacity of humans, dumping titles around like “fahvel”, “greenfloyd” and “uzza”.
