Explanation: What if you saw your shadow on Mars and it wasn't human? Then you might be the Perseverance rover exploring Mars. Perseverance has been examining the Red Planet since 2021, finding evidence of its complex history of volcanism and ancient flowing water, and sending breathtaking images across the inner Solar System. Pictured here in February of 2024, Perseverance looks opposite the Sun and across Neretva Vallis in Jezero Crater, with a local hill visible at the top of the frame. The distinctively non-human shadow of the car-sized rover is visible below center, superposed on scattered rocks. Perseverance, now working without its flying companion Ingenuity, continues to search Mars for signs of ancient life.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars . . . .
On seeing ProtectOurFreedom’s post, I thought better of including a reference to Mona (from the flick).
Swell. A $2.75 billion effort of "tilting at windmills" on Mars.
If I had the time, I’d ‘shop’ a human head holding a phone shadow to the right of it and post it to sm.
lol
(hint/hint)
Somewhere somebody can say they are going to work on Mars again today. It must be odd to be on a clock slightly out of sync with Earth time.
Looks like good farmland. Average mount of rocks....
[My Little Pony] How exactly does rock farming work?
"Ah took a trip to a rock farm for the holidays, but Ah still don't have the slightest inkling what they're actually doing there. They haul a bunch o' boulders from field to field, and there were a lot of shiny crystals growing in a nearby cave, but Ah still can't figure out what use they're getting from the rocks and how pushing a bunch o' boulders around helps them at all.
Does anypony have a solid explanation for this, or should I just chalk it up as one of the great mysteries of Equestria?"
"MLP" OK.... not going to explore it any further than this.
Humm. For balance....short SciFi video "Rockfish"
