Mars Rover to Study Pyramid Rock of Unknown Origin
It’s a fucking rock
NASA’s Mars Rover Curiosity has its first analysis target, an intriguing rock with a pyramidal shape that is now 8.2 feet (2.5 meter) from its current location. The scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory are excited about this and other features discovered by the rover’s cameras.
In fact, it seems that they have hit a jackpot, according to Mars Science Laboratory Project Scientist John Grotzinger, at Caltech:
As we’re getting closer to the light-toned area, we see thin, dark bands of unknown origin. The smaller-scale diversity is becoming more evident as we get closer, providing more potential targets for investigation.
… and Crackpots and nutcases go wild; turns out the martians were the ones that built the pyramid !!
