I did not want those Martians to have named targets when they invade!

That is pretty cool, actually.

I got a little choked up watching the landing. Kudos to JPL and NASA!!

Wish I’d known about the names, I would have definitely added a few.

I guess you are not referring to Harry Mudd.

Another fine landing by NASA. Maybe someday people will live there.

They should be there by now, and I hadn't heard about issues with either one.

Both safely achieved orbit.

Wait, I just realized there are no trees, phone poles, or fire hydrants for millions of miles !!! Oh Well , I guess the Rover wheels will have to do.

The First Vargr on Mars.

Would a Vargr pee on something named "Rover"?

 

[Condottiere]

To claim ownership.

 

[Vargr Breath]

Think of it as putting the P in Perseverance.

 

[BRover]

The Vargr equivalence of kicking the tires and resetting the radio presets?

 

[Vargr Breath]

The thing's not Vargr approved. There are no windows to hang your head out of.

Should be easy to catch after chasing it -- it's not very fast, after all.

But then what?

Sniff its exhaust and wonder why Rover doesn't wanna play?

 

[Condottiere]

Sell it for parts.

I did find a couple of friends.
