They expect us to believe it's a piece of thermal blanket from a previous rover lol. Why the fucking fuck would they have 2 different rovers follow such similar/close paths? You'd think they'd want to explore different parts of the planet, not have different probes go to the same fucking places. I bet redditors eat this shit up but idk cuz i dont go there.

Prior rovers were kinda shit, they see something interesting with the first rover and send a second to that specific area with a specific kit to test/gather data for that specific thing, check up on the prior rover to see how it held up and how they can improve in the future.

That's just a couple of decent reasons.

The way I read it, it's from a different stage (rocket crane) from this same rover.

Fuck you and fuck envirocunts.

How the fuck is litter like that any fucking different to rocks and stones?

Answer the fucking question cunt.

rocks and stones are natural, litter is not - it is artificial and rocks and stones look pleasing, litter doesn't, probably 'cos it's unnatrual i.e. out of place. I pick up litter in my hood.

Doubling down on envirocunts dogma I see.

Humans are natural. The materials we use is natural. Our impact is natural.

Rocks are literally litter. Zero use for any creature yet right under your fucking noise you were oblivious to that fact that litter like cans or bottles or mylar or plastic is just joining other litter. Rocks.

Fuck off

Mars is a pristine environment. More foreign material means more possible false positives. That heat shield probably has organic molecules in in. If it breaks down and later someone scoops up and analyses the dirt with bits of micro plastic in it, it would be hard to tell if it is from mars life or earth life.

144 million Square kilometers to sample.
One in a billion chance mylar has contamination after all the clean procedures.

Do you have any perspective or is that how you became an emotionally driven envirocunt?

Mylar IS the contamination, idiot.
It's fundamentally different than "just a rock" because the rocks aren't supposed to have organic chemicals in it. But, a mylar sheet is 100% organic chemicals.
Eventually that mylar sheet is going to break down and spread around the planet and now all the rocks have organic chemicals in them.

The whole point of visiting Mars is to find out if there's life there. The rovers aren't looking for little green men. They are looking for chemical signatures. That's the problem. The sensors cant tell the difference between a Mars organic chemical and a piece of micro plastic from Earth.

You read nothing.

You call mylar unwanted. (contaminant).

Nothing and no one wants rocks. Space boulders.

The entire surface of Mars is contaminated.

But as a human hating environmentcunt you ignore the forest for all the trees that exposes your bias and hypocrisy.

Know that with the collapse underway the survivors will be done tolerating your hate-filled kind

Send niggers to mars.

I was wondering where I placed that....

[ - ] paul_neri [op] 0 points 1.9 yearsJun 17, 2022 00:19:26 ago (+0/-0)

Could you pick it up please?

[ - ] FalseRealityCheck 1 point 1.9 yearsJun 17, 2022 00:22:15 ago (+1/-0)

First thing I'll do the next time I get to Mars.

Fuck it. I'm gonna go to jupiter instead, in order to get more stoopider.

They can't even fake photos on Devon Island anymore. Where to go next?
