She's much bigger than you think she is

I know it's silly to anthropomorphize machinery but I can't help but fell a pang of sadness for such a lonely existence

Why not just launch 2 rover buddies simultaneously?

Not on /m/ it's not.

LOL Is that what you call a martian robot? Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex piloted by Mikazuki Augus will easily rekt that piece of shit "robot" LMAO It's not even a robot! It's just a computer with wheels! HAHAHA

Happy birthday Curiosity, you're making us proud

Happy birthday, Curiosity!

Can't wait for all the probes and rovers we sent out to come back. They'll come back r-right guys?

Happy Birthday, Curiosity! I wonder if it misses the Earth, or if it even remembers any more.

why does the Sun look so small

>>15750275
Ganbatte, Curi-chan. Carry on learning and exploring, and rest of you must. One day, when humanity finally join you on Mar, we'll give you the proper honours and burial you deserve.

How do these rovers manage not to rust?

Why the fuck do you think?

>>15751114

Rusting is oxidation

Guess what isn't on Mars?

>>15751127
Sure a lot of oxidized iron in its surface, though.

>>15749988
Mars strikes me as an astonishingly beautiful place, at least at times. As lonely as Curiosity seems, I'd imagine being able to enjoy vistas like that makes up for it a little bit.

>>15751259
Mars' atmosphere contains 0.1% Oxygen which means yeah, over an extreme enough period of time that'll happen. It's also possible there was a time when Mars had a thicker atmosphere as well since there are theories Mars had its atmosphere stripped by solar storms.

>>15751259
yeah and every molecule of oxidized iron is oxygen that isn't in the air and able to rust the rover.
The planet is also too small to hold on to free oxygen indefinitely, it tends to just dissipate in to space.

>>15751284
Satellite photos are one thing, and Curiousity has covered around 20km, right? That's just about the distance from one end of Brooklyn, NY to the other.
Mars is quite a bit smaller than Earth, but we've still seen so little of its surface. There's a lot of brown reddish dust and sand, sure, but I bet there's still tons of ancient beauty on the planet yet to be discovered.
>Because of the size of Olympus Mons and its shallow slopes, an observer standing on the Martian surface would be unable to view the entire profile of the volcano, even from a great distance. The curvature of the planet and the volcano itself would obscure such a synoptic view.[15] Similarly, an observer near the summit would be unaware of standing on a very high mountain, as the slope of the volcano would extend far beyond the horizon, a mere 3 kilometers away.[16]
So big you can't even see it in its entirety from the ground, nor see beyond it when you're on top. Crazy stuff.
