That had to be a pretty soft rock to be able to be split in half.

Every time Curiosity gets mentioned I think it's Peter Molyneuxs stupid cube

[FreakySoup]

It wasn't a rock

[sp]it was a rock lobster[/sp]

Hey the found Toni Montana's secret stash!

[Awesomecaek]

Looks like bird poo to me, nothing interesting.

Move on.

[AmazingAzzy]

Polystyrene rock, evidence that the illuminati is faking the rover.

White pow(d)er

It really doesn't look like Guano.
Anyway, I wonder what substance this actually is.

[turing]

also this looks pretty cool, but a really soft rock

Since it's another planet, would we be able to find substances that don't even exist on Earth or in our scientific studies yet?

Awwww yeah

[quote]It was also announced that the rover has suffered another computer glitch; Curiosity had already been recovering from a memory problem discovered earlier in the month.[/quote]
Awwww nooo

[Depardieu]

These jokes are horrible, you disappoint me sensationalist headlines.

"Curiosity breaks ro-" had me concerned on the home page.

Bird poo on Mars - definitely interesting.

Don't move on.

[CabooseRvB]

Just imagine if you blow all that red off of mars and it's suddenly a gleaming white.

Whatever happened to the 'state of war' that smurfy and I blew out of proportion.

Humanity should shoot some 5000 megatons rocket into some far away planet that we can observe very nicely just for shits and giggles.

we did that with the saturn v's 3rd stage

[Pardalis]

What have we done, human-rock relations had been doing so well for a while now.

australians made it to mars before us

Can't see why not.

[ajrhug]

what if mars, since its exposed to asteroids more than earth is, has HUGE quantities of things like iridium and platinum? shit'd be so cool

That was supposed to be the joke. :c

It's possible due to Mars being more vulnerable to asteroid strikes than Earth is, but our whole solar system was created from the same dust cloud at the end of the day, so it's unlikely we'd find very much that's radically different.

Holy shit, I forgot about that.

What ever happened to it?

Ehh, finding bird poo on Mars would actually be one of the most interesting finds in history.

[Spazi]

Mars is actually white, it just hasn't been cleaned in ages.

Of course, how are aliens going to clean it if water keeps going back to bubble form? :v:

[Foogoowoman]

What if Mars was once a glistening white planet
