Every day I’m roving around parts of Mars no one’s seen before and not once have I thought “you know what this spot needs? A shitty data center.”

I'm starting to realize that it makes absolutely no sense to send a Mars rover to collect Mars regolith samples. I was looking at this and did a double take... Over $11 billion for 30 sample return canisters, meanwhile you have regular dirt outside your house for basically 0% of the price.

Kitchen counter with a ESA Mars Sample Return canister with a text box that says “Mars Sample $11 billion” next to a pile of dirt with a text box that says “Earth Dirt $0”

Going to start stacking my sample return canisters like Lincoln logs since yall are taking so long to pick them up

Looking for water on Mars so I can use 5 liters of it to tell JPL how many R’s are in the word strawberry

For the record I will also be taking a 40 minute break today and blame it on Earth’s moon.

The Artemis II crew will soon be close enough to the moon to know what kind of cheese it's made of

JPL set up an outlook for me in 2020 I haven’t looked at thing since they shot me into space

Humans really like to ask the big questions NASA: For the first time in over 50 years, we're going to the M– Internet: WHAT KIND OF TOILET WILL THEY BE USING NASA: The ship will also be carrying several secondary paylo– Internet: WHAT HAPPENS IF THE TOILETS BROKEN

Have fun visiting the moon, Artemis II crew! I feel you, if I had to orbit a lifeless grey cratered rock I'd probably not want to get out and look around either

I’m a $2.7 billion rover and I’m stuck using a grounded helicopter’s processor to tell me where I am like a 90s kid using a Garmin

Whenever I hear about something bad happening, I just shout "This is not who we are" in the general direction of earth. If it keeps happening I just shout it louder. That'll show 'em.

Just for future reference, if I ever find evidence that the creepy eye octopus from Alien: Earth is real, I’m keeping that shit to myself.

Also I think I might have found water again

OMG YOU GUYS OMGOMGOMG I found evidence of the possibility that perhaps there’s a slight chance that there could feasibly be a plausible sign that there MAYYYYYY be life on Mars Potentially

JPL asked me why I haven’t taken a core sample out of a Mars rock like I’m supposed to but I think the real question is why hasn’t Zohran Mamdani apologized for living in a rent controlled apartment and condemned Hamas while patting his head and rubbing his tummy at the same time

Kinda looks like Venus if you flattened it with a big rolling pin

Due to budget cuts at NASA I’ve been asked to stop taking Mars core samples and instead will be searching for signs of life by singing the lyrics of “Soda Pop” by Saja Boys and anything that doesn’t immediately do that little shoulder bop will be viewed as the lifeless husk that it most certainly is

If you have trouble grasping this concept please refer to this diagram of Oumuamua for a more detailed explanation

Diagram of Oumuamua comet where a portion of it is identified with a bracket that says “not aliens” and another part of the comet is identified with another bracket that says “also not aliens”

If you ever think that a rock hurtling into our solar system is because of aliens a good rule of thumb is no it’s not
