I was going through the Mars rovers’ website, that I found linked on Lavery’s webpage. I spent a fair amount of time on there, because I don’t own a television, and I rarely listen to the radio… so I hadn’t followed the missions much since… oh, takeoff.
Anyway, I was flipping through, and I BARELY caught this out of the corner of my eye. I can’t believe it.
I know NASA has some funky rules about naming stuff after individuals, hence why landmarks are ‘El Capitan’, ‘Independence’, etc. Maybe that’s why the initials are there?
It’s dusty, abrasive, distant, and extememely unpredictable - right Sgt. Schultz? Draw you own conclusions, but I haven’t seen a better fit since someone put peanut butter and jelly together.
