Wouldn't it be cute if our new arrival could sport some "color" pictures of the upside down Brit one!

Actually it had no wheels. It was a lander, not a rover. Picture four trash can lids hinged together and that's about what they had.

Now all they need to do is send the can. We don't want to be littering their space junk on this clean untouched planet.

They already suspect a crater and/or misaligned antenna. Ravine, crater, dry canal, hobbit hole. Same difference, in this case.
