Irishman writes "It looks like the Spirit rover has finally left the womb and is rolling free on the Martian surface. Space.com has the full story and some great pictures." NASA also has photos, straight from their fake set in Hollywood where they produce all the "space" footage.

Exactly, witty is one thing, but let it come to the comments for that, not the news posting itself. Hell a lot of people think the moon landings were a farce. Maybe some people still think the world is flat too or that the sun circles us every 365 days because of idiocy like this.
Where are the conspiracy articles?

Since/. has seemed to adopt allowing crackpots to post their conspiracy theories as articles about NASA lately, I was shocked to actually see a NASA post that wasn't full of wishful hyperbole. Where are the idiots? Cmon guys, lets see some more articles about how the rover is actually sitting in a hanger in New Mexico in a simulated Mars setting. Let's hear about how the Columbia astronauts were actually executed with a handgun and the accident was just staged to keep us all thinking we are reaching space. Jackasses, jackasses all.

Did you know that if every Hydrogen, Neutron, and Atomic bomb were detonated, it wouldn't even penetrate the earth's crust?
Do you mean if they were detonated above the earth's crust... where we are? I'm glad to hear their won't be any damage to the earth's precious mantle.
Did you know that the laws of physics say that 6 megawatts of destructive force is the same whether it's 6 megawatts of coal, nuclear, oil, or dynamite power?
My physics book didn't have any formulas for destructive or constructive force. Is there a physical constant I'm not aware of there, Mr Limbaugh?
Did you know that only 40 people on site died in Chernobyl?
Whew - I was worried about the billions of people off the site.
Did you know that you have been brainwashed into thinking that nuclear power can destroy the world?
I'm so thankful for you clear-headed people who can clear it up for the rest of us retards. I do so enjoy being patronized.
Don't take the environmentalists at face value.
And don't take babbling right-wingers at face-value either.

It's simple: I demand prosecution for torture.
