One vehicle, not moving, IS a lot heavier traffic than Mars has in almost every part of the planet.

Waiting for the first collision between rovers!!!

“We’ve got a line of rovers and exploratory robots backed up as far as the eye can see…”

….but on the bright side, there were zero COVID cases in Mars today !!

The word robot is from a Slavic word meaning ‘work’. It was first used, instead of the word ‘automata’ by Karel Kapek in his play and novel, “Rossum’s Universal Robots”.

instead of flying around on Mars, why dont we help Japan clean up the Fukashima mess.

85 million dollar drone.

There goes the neighborhood.

Better turn right by Starbucks to avoid the jam.

Unless we could transplant some people up there, I find this to be a HUMONGOUS waste of money. I do believe in life on other planets but what good is this going to do. We haven’t been taking care of Earth and now we are looking to pollute others?!?

Yesterday there was an article about a hoverboard coupled with a drone to show a guy air surfing 40 ft up over some trees and bushes for a couple of minutes. Was this another “Kitty hawk” moment? Did I miss out on the begining of a new sport?
