Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for March 21, 2021

Yeah, but it cost $2,699,999,599.95 to fly it there.

With no walls to run into, it’s going to be a while.

One time I spent $399 on a Mars rover which is why I’m low on money.

There’s always Roomba for improvement.

Now, why didn’t NASA think of that?

Who’s going to empty the canister?

Now we will need to spend $5 or $6 Billion to bring the Dirt and Dust back to Earth. Why do we need any more Dirt and Dust?

No, it’s a Barsoomba…

( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

What does the SS Sirius cost, Doc?

So, 2.7 billion gets you cameras and a bit more care about cross-contamination. Got it.

Not so much the picking up as the retrieval and return to earth that will cost the money. Very much looking forward to that part of the mission. Yes, there are plans to send a vehicle to Mars to collect the samples and return to earth https://mars.nasa.gov/news/8822/a-martian-roundtrip-nasas-perseverance-rover-sample-tubes/

Don’t forget drilling and laser spectroscopy. Try that, Roomba!

Still over priced.

What! No cat?
