Just for fun...
What if you discovered a "shortcut to Mars", a device that would allow you to teleport matter to the red planet? And what if, before selling your discovery for gazillions of bucks, you decided to have a little fun with it? You can send one object into the path of the Mars Rover, just to mess with NASA scientists. What object would you choose?
I'm torn between the possibilities:
1) A dog-eared, heavily-notated paperback copy of Burrough's "John Carter of Mars" with random passages highlighted.
2) A life-sized marble statue of Elvis.
3) A billboard with a photo of some seductive siren, the words "Earth Girls Are HOT", and Margaret Thatcher's phone number.
But I'm sure you have some ideas of your own...
