Haha! .. I guess only if we see a ground hog run by the rover

 

[Mai72]

Quite unexpected

On Mars? I'd guess at least six decades of winter. Probably more unless Elon Musk gets really serious about terraforming.

 

[shortylickens]

Just occurred to me that for billions of years Mars was untouched by any life form and only recently did humans decide to start dumping garbage on it.
Oh well.

When stuff like this happens, it makes me realize just how truly unintelligent I am. I can't imagine the brain power that makes something like this a reality.

just remember it's never one person - it's armies of engineers and technicians and manufacturing personnel that all make this happen collectively.

that being said, i too am a dunce

Well, right. I know it's lots of people. But I'm guessing even the janitors in that place hold PHDs from Berkley or Oxford or something.
And if you're a dunce, and you're smarter than me (certainly in POE stuff) then, I'm the Eric Trump of this forum!

HA! See how unintelligent I am (and I too am lacking from coffee). I didn't look at the name and only the picture and my brain confused you with @rstrohkirch who is my POE mentor.

Hey! I know what I meant and what I said was wrong! Don't assume to understand my mistakes

 

[Fenixgoon]

He meant Edgar Allen Poe

or maybe Poe Damren from Star Wars!

Hey we pay the taxes that make this happen. So we get a small claim to it too.

Dark Brown Foil

Just one question. Why do the pictures seem to be looking through a porthole? I mean rectangular pictures have been a things since like the beginning of photography. How long has it been since there were round CRT's, let alone CRTs.
