It would've been alot easier to prove life existed on Mars if they landed next to a city.

Apparently they were not thinking when the hard drive they encased to make it radiation proof was only 4GB. Wait – 4GB instead of 250GB?

IT’S RUNNING OFF OF AN XBOX! It’s all a big video game! The conspiracy theorists were right!

While I am sure there is some sort of technological trade off that they had to choose from, but I can’t for the life of me understand how they could not have launched a car sized rover with more storage space.

Anyway, let the freaking science begin and may they find signs that life either existed at some point in the past or still does in some sort of manner....I would love the world wide shock waves that would reverberate around the globe if they actually find a fossil no matter how small. [-o<


PS..I understand the irony of using the smilie that I did.

I would love to see an intern take one of the pictures being beamed back & photoshop a UFO into the shot before the rest of the team sees it :lol: :lol:

Hell, I'd love to see the images of the aliens before they get photoshopped out...
