What a complete waste of money this is. 

I am sure that if they find alien life there they sure as hell won't mention it as it will probably scare the crap out of half the population!!!

I reckon this is awesome.  We need to be doing more for space exploration.

I'm a believer in little green men, or at least life out there so hope the NASA Director that was interviewed, his hopes come true. he wants to send out about 10 of these things to so many different planets its awesome!


Im not sure what they hope to get out of it honestly, but hope they have a good camera on board, cause I love this sorta Shit!

The first photo mins after landing..

A mate of mine was a Rover nut and had one of these.  This fellla was an auto engineer and a wiz at building race cars.  This thing would just stop dead.  Randomly stop dead.  Could never work it out.   ;D

In the end he put it in the shed and I think it still lives in there.

Thanks, Symon. I've had a very average day, the weather in Perth has just turned very nasty indeed and I needed a laugh. And that gave me one!
