Its actually outrageous if think about the progress we made as a species. Watching a video from an unmanned prove we sent to another planet on a smartphone connected to the Internet, which is accessible worldwide, on a website for discussing hurling, soccer and cark weirdos. And all I’m worried about is getting a haircut and pints

Its amazing and scary all at the same time

That’s awesome.

It’s awesome. But it’s kind of fake. Someone made a video from still photos from Curiosity rover, and added some fake sound.

Seems like a bleak enough spot.

Not unlike Cork in a lot of ways

Say what you like. It doesn’t live up to the bar it was named after

It was looking it up there and it’s currently 208 MILLION kms from Earth. To put that in context, if we were all shrunk to a size where Dublin & Sydney were just a metre apart, Mars would be 12km away.

That fact we’re able to land a robot on it and get it to send Instagram snaps home is incredible.
