Or and most importantly, Happy Landing Day! On Mars! Curiosity Rover has been on Mars for ten years and still roving. Talk about a more than decent return on an investment. To date and that would include today, there have been six Mars 'Rovers' landed and returning serious science contributions to NASA. Of the six and I'm including Perseverance Rover most recent and some Chinese rover name of 'egg roll' or some such. I'm not including any science returned by a Chinese rover. The Chinese can suck eggs and they most certainly probably do. However, Curiosity Rover tops them all in longevity and contributions to all of our shared humanity's understanding science and our planetary cousin Mars. Ten years of cruising the Red Planet and seeing things that you and I will never be able to see. Not up close and personal. The pictures we get to see are certainly awesome. Personally, I'd not want to visit there. Takes way too long to get there and the Martian atmosphere isn't exactly welcoming. Not for ordinary and regular Earth crawlers. I'm more than happy to wander around good old terra firma looking at the rocks and stuff on the home turf. But and of course, that's why we have NASA and Martian Rovers to do all that legwork and we get to armchair the bejeepers out of being very far away. One last time...Happy Landing Day Curiosity Rover keep on keeping on. For all of us. Now for our celebratory Sunday machine art. Let's hear it for the machines.
