    I'm glad you said this. Quite frankly because this isn't even the first one either.

    Well, tbqh, I won't be impressed until travelling among at least our own solar system is an easy and common occurrence for the average human, which likely isn't happening in my lifetime, unless I put my consciousness into a machine.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    Got a funny idea of science if you think there's the remotest possibility of ever achieving humans reaching mars without doing these robotic missions first.

    It's a tremendous achievement, every single one that gets there. The complexity of it is just astounding. And this mission is hugely more complex than anything before.

    Give the guys that did it some credit. It's phenomenal.

    We stopped going to the moon, if we started again would it be a real achievement? I'm all for the missions for being a step to push us onto Mars/beyond, but we need to already be thinking bigger. Not fascination, no patting ourselves on the back just yet, how hard can we really push?

    If we go back to the moon, it needs to be to establish a permanent international moon base or not at all. Instead of building our own orbiting satellites, let's use the one our planet came with.

    B'sides, I wouldn't want people to figure out which city I live in, or I'd get tons of stalkers jumping on me and confessing their love any chance they get, and I just don't know if I could turn all of them down!
    My guess is that you live in Linköping. Am I close???!

    Precisely, what they had to manage was damn near impossible for them to manage. Especially because for 7 minutes after they landed on mars, they were completely unaware of if they were successful or not, due to the 14 min delay from mars to earth. To me being unimpressed by this is ridiculous, this is a colossal fear and will give priceless knowledge because this isnt just a rover, its a god damn moving laboratory, and they have hopes of having someone on mars sometime in the 2030s.

    if only we could get corrupt politicians to buddy up with useful corrupt companies, like ones that make space exploration equipment

    that way the corrupt lobbyist will push for a bigger nasa budget

    but no, we just have corrupt lobbyists corrupting corrupt politicians to help out the corrupt banks

    Well they managed this with only $7 per american citizen, if they had a bigger budget we could so many more amazing things.

    So, Kalli already knows this...but we got an extension on our inspection so now it's next Monday.

    So full of relief I want to cry. But also, there's so much work ahead. So that sucks.

    But hey, least we have somewhat of a reasonable amount of time to finish up.

    Also, fuck yeah Mars! Now, they just need to find the prothean ruins so we can get Mass Effect technology.
