NASA’s next Mars rover, a super-capable robot named “Curiosity,” will push Mars exploration to a new level.
Wow… my brain isn’t working this morning… here’s the key points I want to make:
- A new Rover means I’m going to record a new song called Curiosity. I’ll try not to make it sound like a Prince song.
- Curiosity will be nuclear powered, about 4 times as massive as the Spirit Rover, it will be able to vaporize rock, it will search for signs of organic material, and like all rovers it’s a rocker-boogie design.
- When I think of curiosity, I immediately think of Curiosity Cosby, from House of Cosbys. You see.
- Link to the NASA news story
Time to launch off into a House of Cosbys tangent. House of Cosbys was a show on Channel 101, a website that used to produce TV shows for the web. The episodes are still up on the site. It’s a cartoon about a man who loves Bill Cosby so much he clones him. It’s like the Michael Keaton movie Multiplicity, but it’s funny. Curiosity Cosby was clone #8. He was always getting into trouble because he was so darn curious.
