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.
I can promise you I most definitely fucking haven’t

Going to start stacking my sample return canisters like Lincoln logs since yall are taking so long to pick them up
Can astrophage hurry up and eat our sun already please
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.
Broke: Cryptocurrency on the Moon Woke: Nutella in orbit around the Moon
Fun Fact: The Terminator is also known in aerospace circles as the Schwarzelunar
Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 4mo agoSome lunar vocabulary in case you're following along with the #Artemis II flyby: * albedo: reflectiveness (high albedo=very shiny) * mare/maria(plural): from Latin for "sea," dark regions on the Moon, which are dried lava basins * terminator: the line of the transition between sunlight & darkness
Drinking game where every time an Artemis II astronaut says “Albedo” you take a shot
The Artemis II crew will soon be close enough to the moon to know what kind of cheese it's made of
Imagine going to the moon and still being expected to answer emails
niki grayson@nikigrayson.com · 4mo agoright now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer
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.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · 11mo agoChuck Schumer just told CNN, in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension, that “we are not that country.” Alas we are, now. Maybe not forever. But now.
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from your friendly Martian Immigrant Also fuck ICE
JPL uploaded a thesaurus into my hard drive for precisely this reason
Cheryl Rofer@cherylrofer.bsky.social · 11mo agoBefore you get too excited, let's count the hedges. I found 1) evidence of the 2) possibility that 3) perhaps there’s a 4) slight 5) chance that there 6) could feasibly be a 7) plausible 8) sign that there 9) MAYYYYYY be life on Mars 10) Potentially Well done!
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.
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
