So now that Trump has pretty much reopened NASA, I wonder if they’re still a bunch of leftists?
The current Rover photos that got past the censor screenings showing the detritus of a wrecked civilitazion was very impressive stuff. I hope this one does even better.
The hame of. the mission is “McDonald’s on Mars”. Searching for extra terrestial life.
Back to launching rockets, I guess all that muslim outreach got to be too much heavy lifting.
car sized………… is that like an 82 yugo car size or more like a 74 Eldorado car size…… there is a difference
Atlas 5 can carry a couple of dualies.
Which….upon reflection….would be way cooler to see on mars instead of a nerd box on wheels.
No matter, we’re sending helicopters to Mars. Which is pretty hard to top.
Watched it this morning, inspiring. 🙂
My name is on the Insight mission, wish I did this one as well. Immortalised on Mars for eternity. Nice.
