++ETs (presumeably) travel between star systems using wormholes.

Do they? I didn't think even SSMEs were that smart sorry.

Which reminds me -- are there any valuable material's in the rovers'
construction? Because if a black duck pops up next to the wabbit --
er, RABBIT -- the mission could be compromised in the name of making
thomeone -- SOMEONE -- filthy rich.

Someone get onto JPL and have them prepare the "Hassan chop!"
protocols just in case.

*looks around.* What?

Has the flat sand area around the wabbit been named Pismo Beach yet?

Somebody will probably seriously suggest that what it is!
Interesting though. Piece of Airbag?

Actually, it may well be a part of the outcropping seen a little farther
back, the one that's got everybody's attention. It looks like a little
jagged spur of the same stuff, poking out from under the top layer of
dirt.

Y'know what I'm surprised nobody's brought up he that really excellent
pan of the crater, with the outcropping, with the thermal spectrometer
mineral-map image overlaid onto it, at
http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/galle...B011R1_br2.jpg
.. It's almost as if they did their first soil-mechanics and hematite
distribution test before the lander even opened. I love the airbag tracks
in this one; it's like that top layer of dirt was perfectly removed with
each airbag hit (remember at Gusev, how the top layer of dirt looked as if
it were peeled back like a carpet by the airbag hits, and where they'd
retracted the airbags?). Looks like these are even more precise. I love
that one set of prints to the left. Perfect; it got the seams and
everything. Imho, ranks right up there with Armstrong's first boot print.

Oddly enough, there was a Mike Gallagher that lived across the street
from me when I was young... if that's you, I'm really sorry for beating
your head on the concrete basement floor until you went unconscious back
around 1963... but you had it coming- and besides, you were bigger and
older than me.
I'm also sorry about trying to impale you with the broken flagpole back
around 1965; but breaking it for no reason, and letting the flag touch
the ground was _way_ out of line- and you were still bigger and older
than me.
At least you came off better than Jimmy Fitzgerald; who I strangled into
unconsciousness after he dared to step on one of MY anthills... that
only _I_ was allowed to help or harm.

Somewhat mellowed;
Pat

If not, the chair of the naming committee should be notified. What's
his name again, Foghorn something? Big, I say big southern gentlemen.
Talks way too much, though.

Pay attention, son ....

It's not. I was born in 1964, so there is no way you could have
beaten me to a pulp the year before.

Glad to hear it.
Mike (and the rest of civilization as we know it)

And of course where features are located on Mars- in the "Southern
Hemisphere", or in the "Upper Southern Hemisphere".
I once saw a live action movie with Senator Claghorn (the character
Foghorn is based on); it had a dog trained to stand up and salute the
Confederate flag when it was raised. The original character appeared on
Fred Allen's radio show.
