Fuck me.

See those mad geometrical straight lines? Those are the tracks of NASA's Mars rover robot "Opportunity" which landed on the planet in 2004.
If anyone tells me this is not cool I will have to employ strong language to disagree with them.



And here is Opportunity's pics of the remains of the pod that carried it to the surface...



And here's an other pic Opportunity took while out patrolling around...

Haven't the Rovers been going for far longer than was originally expected of them?

Soldiering on, in the name of cool.

[¡Punk!]

Mars bores me until we send someone up there. It's like a dickish moon.

True, they were only expected to go for a few months.

New pics look awesome.

Cheers for papping them up Les, quality stuff.

Some of them just don't look real, it's amazing.

You'd think with their budget they could have afforded a colour camera :P

Some of those don't look real I know they are

Cheers Les
