Sojourner, which appears to have crawled towards Pathfinder after the lander had already died. I know its only a machine...it was trying to get back to the mothership.

Pic looks like a black and white close-up of Karl Mauldin's nose. Or Rosie O'Donnell's ass.

There will be more talk like this as robotics becomes more important in space exploration. Our little creations are already nearly autonomous but are reprogrammable, which right there is a superiority to biological units.
To: Dog
LOL! the article does imply human characteristics..

No pictures of the Cydonia complex? I sense a cover up.
To: RightWhale
No. Gene therapy already shows that we can reprogram bio DNA code.

Oh your are way off. The rover 63 centimeters in size. The above would have been measured in meters. I also the rover would have those little Pusey things all over it.

Or Rosie O'Donnell's ass. If I saw Rosie O'donuts ass, I sure wouldn't post the fact.

There's no sci-fi material in that that hasn't already been used and used up. But robotics is a new field that is hardly touched.

Perhaps it can also spot the European probe that presumably crashed (at one of the poles if I recall correctly) several years ago.

Ha ha ha, Sopater ... we're on to you and your futile attempt to trick us with that obvious photo-shop fake ... There's no water on Mars ... ha ha ha.

It may also have found the mission's tiny rover, Sojourner, which appears to have crawled towards Pathfinder after the lander had already died. That's creepy.

Scan across the large image (see post # 2).
Several interesting bits (heat shields, parachutes, etc.) are labeled in huge yellow letters.
To: gotribe
They don't go anywhere without being told to do so.
