The Mars Thread

[RJDiogenes]

Yes, indeed. I want to know how warm it is under there.

[RJDiogenes]

I guess we need to change the name of this thread.

That was unavoidable. Since science proved a few decades ago that space is finite after all, and since every quantity must have it's opposite quantity to keep the cosmic balance, nature had to come up with something infinite and invented a source of infinite stupidity.

Hey, Trump saved the universe, after all.

[Lupine]

If all goes well tomorrow, we'll have something to look forward to in February.

[RJDiogenes]

Sweet. That seems like a very quick transit time. We'll have lots of cool new information to mull over by this time next year. Hopefully that will include more evidence of life, but I suspect that any definitive proof lies deeper than current technology can dig.

[Lupine]

And she's off!

[RJDiogenes]

Yes! It was amazingly hard to find confirmation of that on my news apps. I think it was about 3pm before I finally found something.

[Lupine]

There was some minor communications problems early on, but it looks like that's been fixed now.

[RJDiogenes]

Thank goodness. Hopefully this mission doesn't fall victim to the Mars Curse.

[Lupine]

^Or the curse of 2020.

[RJDiogenes]

Oh, man. It will be hijacked by an amorphous Martian life form and return to Earth.

[Lupine]

Well, that would be of an improvement.

Evil alien monster: "Take me to your leader!"
Just about everyone: "Sure!"
