OT: NASA Puts Rover on Mars

[SLY]

Our Government spent over 2 billion dollars on this project? Our tax dollars at work. UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!

I'd gladly give much more.

$2.5 billion over eight years, or $312.5 million per year.

Let's put that in perspective and compare it to the $929 billion spent on the military last year.

Let's also put it in the perspective of the approximately $4900 billion annual budget. $312.5 million is only 0.006% of the annual budget. For an annual income of $50,000, that means you would only have paid 50 cents per year over those eight years on this project.

I am reminded of this scene where an American passes through parts of Ukraine with his Ukrainian tour guide:

I liked that movie.

They could have almost bought an entire B-2 Stealth Bomber for that price! Just a million short, but I'm sure they could find that in a Super PAC someone left under the couch.

Whose face is on the million dollar bill?

I don't believe it exists, does it? I though 100K was the highest bill.

 

[elocomotive]

I liked that movie.

I thought it was premium movie.

Grandfather says this is impossible.

[Darkstone42]

Sunrise on Mars. Wow.

Isn't that from the 2005 rover?

Still awesome.

 

[elocomotive]

Sunrise on Mars. Wow.

Mars has it's own Sun!?!

 

[Darkstone42]

Mars has it's own Sun!?!

Look at how much smaller it is than our sun.

 

[elocomotive]

Look at how much smaller it is than our sun.

That's true. Are the stars in Mars' universe smaller than in ours?

 

[Darkstone42]

I guess we'll have to wait for the Mars night time photos. Get on it, Curiosity!
