Has anyone been able to decipher what's written here on the Martian
soil? It seems to be some ancient Martian dialect I'm unfamiliar with.

AFAICS it reads "if you can read this you are too...." but I can't read
the last word or syllables.

Anyone?

Dunno, but I thought the shortest distance between two points was a
straight line.
Perhaps its Old Martian for DWI.
