NASA Rover accidentally draws giant penis on Mars

[Evilshy 5,090]

This is totally legit. I know this is the kind of thing I'd make a humorous fake-news blog post about, but it's totally legit.

 

So basically, the rover has software that lets it find new paths if it encounters and obstacle, search for new paths, judge how easy it will be to get to different places, stuff like that. Turns out, this programming ended up tracing out a huge penis on Mars.

Guess the rover is still fresh out of the fraternity

Are you serious?

I mean, I busted out into a cackling frenzy over this. It really is that amazing.

Best thing to come out of NASA since '69. No doubt about it.

Poor craftsman ship in total, lines aren't even remotely detailed could be made by a toddler and you couldn't even tell the difference. Didn't even use color contrast.

 

The score:

It fucking sucks, 10/10

Seeing that makes me feel like I'm looking at newgrounds reviews.

Except in this case it isn't annoying since you did it intentially.

[Smarts 1,623]

This rover is quite the comedian, isn't it? It must feel very accomplished having done this. Whatever the case, this rover has created a legacy.  The first ever penis to be made on Mars.

What are you? A newgrounds reviewer?

[Yamato 1,348]

You know that wasn't an accident. That rover totally did it on purpose. Damned dirty-minded robots... Yeah, that's right! I'm looking at you, Bender!

[Galen 1,354]

This is kinda old news but it's still kinda funny. I think someone at NASA got really bored and decided to do a little doodle in his downtime. Would've been funnier if this was something left behind by an ancient martian civilization.

Wow, and what would so called "aliens" think of this message? They'd laugh at it and then realise even a Mars rover has a very immature system/mind. I'm going into my Anti-Alien shelter, you just offered them a free pass to Earth.

 

 

 

And now serious : That's pretty funny, i doubt NASA is going to laugh about that though. Atleast now they can improve it to draw better, or to not draw at all. Whoever drove/configured that Rover is going to get it.

Man, what a  cocky little fellow (pun is indeed intended.)

 

 

But really, I cannot believe this. This is really hilarious! I think some NASA person is messing with us, but this is just a hilarious thing. XD

[James 302]

That happened a long time ago. Did you just hear about it? Very funny either way.

 

By the way, don't take this the wrong way or anything, but isn't this the kind of thread that's usually locked up by a moderator for not containing much in the way of content?

It contains a male reproductive organ, i wouldn't say that's not any content, it's a fairy large drawing too, so that means more content.

But see, that brings up the question of whether or not aliens would have peckershafts that look anything like ours do.

Wait why the fuck am I talking about this.

Looks like all that time alone on Mars has allowed this rover's programming to achieve the concept of boredom, and how to alleviate it. Cheeky little bugger, isn't he?

[Narf 24]

I don't really find it funny. It just depends how hard people try to find these things. Interesting. It seems a lot of people took their time checkin' out that fine imagery going on there. C'mon, you guys are just going to town.

B3

I forgot to mention this is a really RANDOM post, i've never seen such a post on any forum before, or it had to be a troll.

 

 

Congratulations! Grab a cardboard medal while you're here, it can't get any worse i suppose.

[Evilshy 5,090]

Guess I should mention, I did know about this before, it just occurred to me that I hadn't seen anything about it here yet, and that a lot of people would find it funny.

 

I'm just providing a service.

Service well done, i didn't hear from this event yet.

 

Now i can write another page in my book titled "Machines with a mind of their own". Now to be able to explain why it would do that...

I'm just going to whip out my immature sense of humor here (because if ever there was a place to whip that out, it'd be here) and say that I see what you did there, whether or not that was intentional.

 

...XD

It was initially unintentional, but then I noticed it a few seconds after it was posted. I was happy with it so I kept it as-is.

Thi is old news. Seriously, I found out about this back in June. I actually showed it to some of my class mates, they laughed of course. But other than that, Amuriku furk yiiea.

why even bother pointing that out

it's like saying

"I found out that John F. Kennedy was picking his nose hours before he was shot."

and being proud.

Hmm, a NASA Rover drawing a giant weiner on Mars? O_O

 

Uh.... I don't know whether to laugh or be emotionally disturbed. I guess the Rover wanted to play the trolling NASA game.

[Lost 1,410]

The first drawing of a penis on another planet and that's all we get? Pfft, I think NASA should send up a new rover with better drawing skills.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,835]

If billion dollar trips to Mars weren't about drawing giant penises on the surface of the planet, I wouldn't be as okay with spending my tax dollars on it.

[GhostPony750 959]

Omg! xD

 

What are the odds for this to happen?

And even, why did everyone actually cared about this? I mean, it's just a shape made on the ground by a robot.

 

And why did he turn around this way? o_O He was probably drunk
