I've been following this forum for years:

http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/

Some of the rover drivers and researchers post there too. Some amazing pictures through the years.I'll post as a link because it's a huge picture:

You notice the stained bit in the centre? That's caused by spending too much time at the heatshield site shown earlier. Some of the dust blew off and got in one of the Pancam lenses.

Thanks Muso - I am very interested in all the Mars missions.
I only wished we spent more money on it instead of wars.

Very funny Annie - you know something? - if you're good looking you may have a chance with me. P.S. - no makeup, fancy clothes or boob jobs allowed.

I wanna see some pictures of the insides of Jupiter and that...

Have they got them?? Huh

INSIDE of Jupiter???

I don't think they've ever tried that...The pressure (and or temperature) might be too high for a probe to last long enough...

True but it may,... I'm just making this up on the spot RIGHT NOW(YEH, TALK ABOUT EXCITED WHERE'S MY BOURBON DAMN I SAID I'D GET OFF THAT UMBILICAL CHORD!), prove the perfect ground to experiment with materials !!

Yeh.... yeHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Shocked

Yeah, maybe...but NASA would never get funding...
The only reason the Mars probes get sent is because it's the place they're thinking about sending people...

Well, you'd have to send them to the best locations Send the Lesbians to Amazonis Planitia or even Valles Marineris to eke out an existence in the cracks of Mars.

The gays might prefer the Tharsis Bulge.

Of course Uranus might be preferable to Mars for them. Grin
