NASA Extends Rover Occupation of Mars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wait-till-they-try-to-occupy-us dept.

iocat writes "Reuters reporting that NASA is extending the Rover missions on Mars by another five months. However, they point out that while the rovers look poised to greatly exceed their planned life cycle, they could basically die at any time. Still, it will be cool to see a little more exploration."

    Come on now!

    Where else can we relocate Israel and Palestine?

    Its a prime location with lots of rocks just like the ones they chuck in the Gaza strip at gun yielding land grabbing Israelis.

    Don't worry...things won't change one bit, so we might as well spend money on this real-estate now, especially if it has oil interests so we can suck it dry like a virus and then lease it to our problem neighbors to fight over.

    Its all about economics in the end.
