//slightly off topic
The rock, which has a white rim and center that is deep red, is unlike anything scientists have seen before on Mars.
Such statements insinuating that the scientists are somehow puzzled by that fact. Of course they haven't seen it before, because it never happened. How often do you get a rover on mars. Sooner or later a rock will get yanked from the wheels. Media is really scraping the bottom here.
edit: My guess, looks more like something metallic, like a part of the rower perhaps.
- ChuckMcM 13y agoIt sounds so much more dramatic if you say "Never in the history of Mars exploration has this ever happened!" welcome to breathless journalism. That said, if it is a jelly donut then someone is going to have some explaining to do :-)
- judk 13y agoYou are being overly cynic. It is a new discovery.
- BrandonMarc 13y agoExactly. In other news, scientists astounded the world with a new discovery on mars: a small, hexagonal rock with a threaded cylindrical hole. Slam-dunk proof Mars had intelligent life at some point! Even more amazing: it just happened to be sitting near the rover. And it wasn't there when the rover drove up to that point. Proof the martians are just putting evidence right in front of us, while being sneaky at the same time! How clever of them.
