Oh shit, have these people not watched any sci-fi movies?!? You don't disturb the bedrock of alien planets!

I'm hoping that they awaken some sort of Martian Cthulhu.

I know, right? It's almost unreal to me, like I'm watching a Hollywood production or some artists recreation. But no. This is what happened. And it's so clear and crisp I feel like a kid again.

The rover has taken its first "steps" on Mars and photographed its own tracks.

Take that, other alien species. I don't see your tracks anywhere on Mars.*




*no offense to species that fly, exist in gaseous form, or otherwise don't leave tracks

The Curiosity Rover is fueled by Soviet plutonium.

Quote:
The United States quit making plutonium in the late 1980s, after it became apparent that both sides had stockpiled enough warheads to destroy civilization. At first, NASA was able to draw on the supply of plutonium-238 left over at Savannah River, but that soon ran out. So it turned to Russia. The first shipment from the Russian plant arrived in the 1990s, and to date, NASA has received about 70 to 90 pounds of plutonium. A few pounds of Stalin's finest plutonium-238 hitched a ride to Mars on the back of Curiosity.

Pretty crafty, NASA. Get the Soviets to use up their plutonium stockpiles in a seemingly innocent endeavor.
