Driving Curiosity The rover did a test wiggle of its wheel to prepare for its first drive, which could be happening at any moment, starting today!!!

JPL launched you on a rocket and made you go through the seven minutes of terror so you could study the Mars rocks and make everybody so happy on Earth.” “Hmm, not much time for dilly-dallying.” “Hey you just wiggled your wheel!

Driving Curiosity

The rover did a test wiggle of its wheel to prepare for its first drive, which could be happening at any moment, starting today!!! Naturally, it made me think of this:

“Why won’t my wheels move?”

“You’ve been mostly asleep all year.”

“Why am I in this crater?! Who are you?! Are we enemies?”

“Let me ‘splain. No. Too much. Let me sum up. JPL launched you on a rocket and made you go through the seven minutes of terror so you could study the Mars rocks and make everybody so happy on Earth.”

“Hmm, not much time for dilly-dallying.”

“Hey you just wiggled your wheel! That’s wonderful!”

“I’ve always been a quick healer.”

Bonus points if you can place that. Engage full drive!
