The gravity must be very low, a lander might even bounce off.

At 251 million miles away, it will take approximately 22.5 seconds for a radio signal to reach Earth from the probe. And another 22.5 seconds to respond. So how can engineers on Earth control the real-time landing of a craft at that distance, considering the time lag?

Post 5, way ahead of it.
It is obviously an escaped rubber ducky in orbit.
Heavily weathered, one can only assume what hideous ancient aliens left it out there, watching..

They might be inside..................... They must have received a radio transmission of a Ronald Reagan speech.
