People legitimately calling BS and that this is pics of New Mexico. Same people also believe that Trumps literally sent from God.

Definitely not calling dibs on that spot...

It's okay, a guy have already called dibs on the whole planet and started selling land.

This looks eerily similar to every sci-fi movie scene where people accidentally time travel to millions of years after human extinction.

As an Arizona resident, this seems oddly same to our deserts.

So, wait......there's rocks all over the universe?? We're not special??

I have never seen Arizona on Earth. Arizona is in the Mars.

That's not arizona that's Tatooine

There's not that much difference between the two.

Yeah i don't need to move 140 million miles away for that. Let's just terraform Earth back to normal. #savethetrees

We're going there by melting the poles. Maybe we'll get tropical climate everywhere.

If covid has proved anything about helping the environment, the best way to fix Earth is to not live here. Move to space, then visit Earth.

Damnit , that's funny. ?

Reeeeeey!!!
ProgeriaProstitutes
Surprisingly earthish. You'd think without the erosion from water and with less wind the rocks wouldn't get rounded.
silvirus
Bear in mind that many of these rocks have been sitting around for probably millions of years. Even very slow erosion will take its toll.
qwerty1418
They're pretty certain there was actually water there at some point. They want to look at what they assume is an ancient river delta.
AuleMahal
My guess is that though there’s less atmosphere to pick up dust, the ~1/3 gravity means it’s easier for the thin wind to suspend particles

What I'd like to see is the rover go take a look at the rest of the descent stage - the crane and the heat shield, to see how they landed.

As a geologist, i want SOOOOO badly to walk over and pick up those rocks to look at them!
RespiratoryRandy

TheSiskoIsOfBajor
Maybe lick them too?
DoctorEnsignCrusher
Mmm...deadly perchlorates. *Cough* ***Venus would be a better planet to terraform*** *cough*
SomaChild
As someone who worked on this rover, we are bringing some rocks back to Earth. Please don’t lick them.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Thanks for all the cool instruments. I am impatiently awaiting results haha.
MrHerpertDerpington
As a non-geologist I wanna do the same.
FuckThemIfTheyCantTakeAJoke
As a Martian, I feel the same way about your Earth planet.
WellBehavedZombie
I'll send you a rock if it will make you feel better.
DrKonrad
You mean you want to CRUSH those rocks to see their insides, you maniac
isetprettygirlsonfire
Eggy1632
That's gonna be a long walk
Weblord
These images make it seem so near.
venomlash
Right? Such a weird different weathering regime...
insongwhang
As someone who loves new discoveries, I also want you to walk over there and pick up the rocks.
williambeechrb8888
What kind of testing would you do? And what would you be looking to find out?
isetprettygirlsonfire
To begin with, a field survey and mapping. We have to start with the basics here.
MagnoliaCottage
Right? I wonder most about why they're so rounded and not jagged!! Not quite like stream-rounded, but not as sharp as the moon for sure
isetprettygirlsonfire
Aeolian errosion (wind and soil particle abrasion)
RocksNSocks
Yessss. Same
StarkRG
We all know you secretly want to lick them.
isetprettygirlsonfire
It's no secret, I definitely want to lick them.

Licckkk emmmm
ENCHANTMEN
I imaging that was the impetus behind the first rover. A geologist looked at the lander's photo and was like "I WANT TO TOUCH THE ROCKS"
Bonsaipanda
I want to see this place up close >>
Bonsaipanda
Also, fun fact: because of the low atmos pressure, erosion is very slow on Mars >>
PrfctDrk
That's not a rock, that's a creature that's evolved rough skin to look like a rock, and adapted the ability to roll up into a ball

Want to chexk that out even more!

I will buy a bunch of rocks, you can pick them all up look at them free, I just ask you put them in my yard in the spots I tell you to.

Dang Landscaper wants to charge a fortune for that.
OtterSpaceExplorer
I bet they'd be breathtaking.
DildorTheMighty
As a retail worker, so do I. I'd be SO far away from customers.
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
This mission is part one of a sample return mission.
TheS4ndm4n
Gonna take 10 years though. By that time, you can go to Mars yourself. If you don't mind being elons slave to pay for it.
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
You have no comprehension of how complex it is to get stuff from ANOTHER FRIGGIN’ PLANET!

Amazon prime doesn't deliver from Mars?

No, but Optimus Prime does!

My 6 yr old says: not sparkly/shiny or a pretty color, so not worth the space in her pockets. Those are reject rocks mom.

The sheer amount of sodium-enriched contaminants that litter the Martian surface would kill you should you decide to touch it.

Lol please, we eat sodium-enriched contaminants as a side with fast food meals like it's going out of style

Is the atmosphere on Mars really that thin?
qwerty1418
it's about 1% that of earth's atmosphere, so yeah pretty thin. Also has an average temp of -80F/-62C so that wouldn't be fun either.
