Come on. You’re stuck on Mars with months before a ship is going to come to get you off. Wouldn’t YOU see a Burger King?

Sky looks blue.

That’s freaky.

“Fascinating times we live in. Every month or so, we have some sort of astrological phenomena that hasn’t happened in decades, hundreds of years. What a privelege to live in these times!!/s”

And every one of them guarantees overcast skies in Illinois.

A Mars Rover's Lament

All day I faced the Martian waste without the taste of water;
cool water.

At JPL the jerks at work sip Evian: I die for water;
cool clear water.

The nights are cold and I've been told each star's
a pool of water;
cool water.

But with the dawn I'll switch back on
and MastCamBate for water;
cool water.

Load an infra-scan; exploration is the plan;
you're a robot not a man and the broken rocks can stand for water; cool clear water.

MRO, can't you see that big green tree
where water's runnin' free and it's waiting there for

Error. Stack overflow.

Gawd, but you’re wonderful!

Ah, shucks. Thank you.
