      Props to the Nasa crew!
      Tho it doesn't matter who put it there, what matters is that it is there. Scientific knowledge belongs to all mankind.

      Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

        I understand the beer, but what do you need the weapons for?

        Um, grey picture of... rocks? Woot?

        What is the purpose of this mission?

          What do I need the weapons for? What DON'T I need a massive stockpile of superweapons for?

            Well, you probably don't need them to open the beer bottles.
            I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

              ....how in the name of all merciful gods that walk the Earth do you open beer bottles?

                Throw them against hard objects? I have found the ground more than adequate for the task. Not only that, but it improves the flavour somewhat.

                    The important thing is that everybody got together beforehand and came to an agreement. Wonderful things happen when people learn to share. I motion that we nickname this craft "The Fred Rogers".

                      Dust and solar panels

                      The dust doesn't just settle on the surface. It hits at high speed and actually pits the surface. This kind of damage cannot be fixed easily.

                            I just hope the Martians don't think we're renewing the war. Last time they almost kicked our asses.

                                Japan 0, UK 0, USA 2

                                In all the Euro bashing, every one seems to forget that the Japanese craft Nozumi failed before it reached Mars. It was apparently incapacitated by solar radiation and would not respond to the steering commands necessary to make it orbit Mars.
