Commander Johnson, I-I think I found what or who been stealing our extra spare material supplies

Astronaut Jennifer said in the com as she stared, standing stiff as a board if it weren't for the gravity of Mars making it difficult.

What she was staring at couldn't be human but yet so close and eldritchic- alien like as the inner part of her mind was screaming danger danger, That Is Not A Human Being, Run RUN RUN,HIDENOWHIDENOWNOWNOW

It's look like a adult, a very slim and very tall adult if it weren't for the fact that his skin was tanned with a bit of splash of starlights all over, wearing a suit made of galaxies covered in red Mars rocks, his hair was white, whiter then the clouds on earth, ears pointy and curled a bit as if it wa to shield or reflect to what its was hearing(but they has moved back in a aggressive manner thar remind her of snuffles when threaten) and eyes glows so ominously Neon Green with black instead of white surrounding the iris, splatter of star like freckles that looks like he almost has two pupils mixing into a slits like in each of them.

Teeths razor sharp and thick, as the thing looks like it was growling at her with his body arch over, hands with extra digits of long blacken claws like nails dig into the dirt, hiding all the stuff that the alien had stolen along with a lil head of another mar baby, it weren't for the fact there was no sounds in space, she would've been screaming float running back to her headquarters base.

She was only patrolling the part of the base where they were trying to grow plants in one of the green houses they painstaking made on Mar, but then she saw the glow of unnatural green slipping out of the sealed tight glass.

Curiosity took the best of her as she put on her suit and went to check at that spot is where she find what seem to be a native Mar creature and its baby hoarding all the missing stuffs that they had lost in the base, along with the missing robot, opportunity as the top of it's hoard pile in a makeshift hole(it's a Nest and she has enter this creatures domains) near a small pool full of of oddly frozen water that glowed luminous.

It was a stand off between her and the creature not moving an inch until Jennifer's coms responded back as she flinched, her heart dropping snd face paling dramatically when the creature's ear flick a bit as it heard the static electric device.

"J-J-J-Jennifer, do you copy? I repeat, Do you copy?!?" Commander Johnson spoke a bit frantic.

Unawared of the danger he had put Jennifer in when she flinched, the creature lunged, Jennifer scrambling to turn around and hop/run back into the safety of the base as fast as she could.

Like inspiration for @tinycoded360

I don't have a logical reason for it but the quotes "Tell the emperor that my hall has fallen. Apollo no longer has his house, nor his mantic bay, nor his prophetic spring; the water has gone quite." And "My battery is low and it's getting dark" have the same energy to them. Perhaps on occasion, the machine and divine can speak the same poetry.

Also, I am watching Good Night Oppy (the documentary about the mission of the Mars rover Opportunity) because apparently I want to Cry. And aside from the NASA crew who worked on the project all lovingly referring to Opportunity and its sister Spirit as "she" and talking about how much the whole project meant to them, the lead engineer on the Spirit program, when talking about the end of Spirit's mission, just gently goes "I guess she was tired too, after all the work she had done" and just. Hang on. Hang on I need a second

Happy Birthday, Curiosity!

Curiosity landed on Mars on August 5, 2012 and is "turning" 11 today!

On its first landiversary, engineers on the ground celebrated the occasion by programming Curiosity to "sing" Happy Birthday to itself! A truly once-in-a-lifetime declaration of humans' love for a Mars rover!

And the gestures of love and appreciation for the robot didn't end there! Last year, on Curiosity's 10th landing anniversary, Husqvarna programmed 100.000 of their lawnmower robots to sing Happy Birthday to Curiosity.

Powered by a multi-mission radioisotope thermoelectric generator (MMRTG), Curosity has been providing us with invaluable information about our red neighbor for 11 years now.

In her time on Mars, Curiosity has been climbing Mount Sharp, taking rock samples, pictures and more to find answers to some of the biggest questions we have about Mars. Most notably, she determined that liquid water and other chemicals necessary for supporting life were present on Mars in the past, and water is still present in the form of ice.

Happy Birthday Curiosity, and congratulations to everyone on Earth without whose tireless work, dedication, passion and imagination none of these achievements would be possible!

Isekai Concept

Instead of the protagonist being a generic male black haired anime protagonist, it’s a mars exploration rover that was reincarnated as a human after it lost power and when they wake up in the new world they just wants to do nothing else but explore the world and seeing new places, unintentionally bring peace to several different kingdoms that are nearly at war by just becoming friends to a group of wildly different people and doing different favors for them.

The Surface of Mars

Curiosity Rover postcard from Mars' Marker Band Valley

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its navigation cameras to capture panoramas at two times of day on April 8, 2023, at 9:20 AM and 3:40 PM local Mars time, then merged the two images together. Blue represents the morning panorama and yellow the afternoon.

Each of these new panoramas took about 7-1/2 minutes to capture and include five individual images stitched together. By capturing the panoramas at two different times of day, the scene shows dramatic shadows similar to stage lighting coming in from the left and right of center stage. Because it was winter (when dust is at its lowest in the Martian atmosphere) at the time, shadows are sharper and deeper.

(Some annotated details from the scene.)

Curiosity is ascending the foothills of Mount Sharp, a 3-mile-tall (5km) mountain found within Gale Crater. The crater rim is visible roughly 25 miles (40 km) away. And because skies were so clear, you can see a mountain beyond the crater rim, even though it’s 54 miles (87 kilometers) outside of Gale.
