NASA just received a strong signal from the Spirit mars rover indicating that it is safely on the ground. Now the bags need to deflate, pod folds open, and the solar panels will open so it has power come daylight... so far so good! :)

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!

I guess the martians didn't notice this one landing. They didn't have time to smash it up.

Lol jellin thats exactly what i was thinking.

Odd how most things sent to Mars go kaplowey, wonder how long this one will last before the martians beat it with mars rocks and use it as a new skateboard :D

Thats really cool though :) space rocks!

Nah, that's just the Martian Rednecks firing their guns at the things when they come down, for fun.

"Look Pa! 'heres anodder 'un comin down! Shoot it up! Shoot it!"

That would make a good cartoon drawing.
