"Yes, you're right, kids. No astronaut has yet been to Mars.

That's what we're there to look for. Snatch it up, send it back to earth, reverse engineer it and all.

What's with the mission logo. Usually it's some really cool artwork. This looks like a messed up Tetris block with a star next to it.

Information received from the spacecraft
is delayed by 14 minutes due to the distance.

Likewise with any instructions sent to the spacecraft
by mission control.

They just told everybody to take their last longer break. Only shorter ones from now on.

That was very considerate!
