Those crazy Martians!!!

After a decade of exploring the Martian surface, the scientists overseeing veteran rover Opportunity thought they’d seen it all. That was until a rock mysteriously “appeared” a few feet in front of the six-wheeled rover a few days ago.

News of the errant rock was announced by NASA Mars Exploration Rover lead scientist Steve Squyres of Cornell University at a special NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory “10 years of roving Mars” event at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena, Calif., on Thursday night. The science star-studded public event was held in celebration of the decade since twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity landed on the red planet in January 2004.

MY PET ROCK HAS BEEN FOUND....it ran away last year and I could never find it. I posted pictures of it all over the place....even at WAL-MART but all I ever got was people trying to pawn off their rocks as being mine. I knew my pet rock well so they couldn't fool me.

I knew it was doing strange things at night....even sexual things but I had no idea it was building a rocket.
