Astronomy Picture of the Day
Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
2004 January 27
Opportunity on Mars
Credit: Mars Exploration Rover Mission, JPL, NASA
Explanation: You've just woken up in a small crater on Mars. The surrounding landscape is barren, strange, and alien. You've never been on this world before. You transmit pictures that are instantly rebroadcast all over your home world. You are the eyes for billions of people. You seek adventure. Your mission is to explore this strange new world and search for signs of pre-historic life. You have six wheels, one arm, and X-ray eyes. Surrounding you, pictured above, is iron sand and light-colored protrusions that might be bedrock. You are the Opportunity Rover that landed on Mars just this past weekend.

PS: I automatically thought negatively wrt:the purpose of the link and Petunia's intentions because I was sent to the barfland.com website..hence my reaction. Now that I know, it's all different. (I'd like to know if rendering the link inoperable would still allow the plan to work)

Whether visible or not, the link needs to be an actual working one. (I was like many who thought we could just put it in our taglines, but it's not enough).

Uh, sorry about the "bedwetter" comment. At the time I didn't know what was going on with who (didn't see the earlier thread), and admittedly I'd been waging war against a couple of Smoke Nazis.

That's okay! I completely understand :) I felt bad about everything this morning. Now that I know Petunia's intentions are not evil. SHEEPISH GRIN
