NASA and the University of Phoenix (home of the golf scholarship and ‘Mojito making 101‘) just landed a ‘scout’ on the surface of Mars. Feedback from the scout’s AI?

‘It is flat and cold, and which one of you jokers flew me 75,000,000 miles without a color camera?’

You can read all about it here. Pictures can be seen here (B&W). Riveting photos, I have added a few captions:

  Over heard from Phoenix mission command:

  ‘Wow, that is amazing. The rocks of Mars’

  ‘Looks like my backyard if I forget to water. I gave up my summer to do this?’

  ‘Seriously guys, if the NASA scientist dude comes back and sees us making hand puppets with the robotic arm, he is going to flip and I won’t get course credit’

‘Yes, it does kind of look like an Alien. But seriously, he will be back any minute. Stop fooling around’

  ‘Frank, do you remember how to get the camera pointing out?’
