MARS—In a desperate attempt to make up for years of aimless planetary wandering, the Curiosity Rover spent most of Monday frantically driving around the Red Planet in order give the impression that it had been busy before the impending arrival of NASA’s InSight Lander. “Aw, fuck, I’m going to be up all night scouring everything from here to the Naukluft Plateau for signs of microbial life,” said the car-sized rover, which had occupied itself for the past Martian year jumping aimlessly into sand dunes just south of Aeolis Palus. “I guess I’ll just take a bunch of pictures and say they’re from different days. Damn, I can’t believe I put this off until now. Maybe they won’t notice these soil samples were all taken from the same crater?” At press time, NASA was instructing the rover to ease up on reports of possible water on Mars after half a dozen samples of liquid turned out to be pools of exhaust from Curiosity’s suddenly overworked engine.

I don't blame him. Perseverance is a total hard ass.

'LOL' means 'I'm busy' in Martian.

liamstack 😆😆

Mother fucker better at least look busy with the money we spent to send it there.

So now scientists will be content with ancient ( dead) lifeforms. First they wanted humanoid life. Then it was any intelligent life. From there any living slug would do. All for naught. Now the hunt for the elusive macaroni life form begins. 'Look, it looks like it. It must be.'

Psst, Curiosity. Just carry a clipboard and if anyone asks what you are doing. Give them a look then look at the clipboard and mark it while saying 'that's one for you.'. If they ask to see the clipboard, mark it again and say 'mmm... Not allowed.' then move away.

🤣🤣🤣

Anybody else have their parents feel the top of the TV set when they came home to see if you had been watching TV against the rules or after bedtime? It was a much more reliable test back when TVs had vacuum tubes.

That’s not true.
