I guess that wouldn't help. They salvage *talking* droids.; 8/13/2012 12:15 PM

Inter-space merchants of garbage. No wonder Alien Life forms hate us on TV and Movies. Can't we vaporise the stuff we leave ? All it would take is one good disrupter blast! Seriously.
Speaking of which, what happens to Curiosities Plutonium Power pack once it gets stuck in the sand like the other rover? Talk about leaving Trash!

Nangleator said...: It's not trash now, but useful equipment. When it's dysfunctional, it won't be trash... it'll be considered priceless treasure for a good, long time.

If your definition of trash is 'worthless stuff that is mostly unusable,' then Mars itself is a big hunk of trash. Curiosity reduced the total percentage of trash, simply by landing there.

If your definition of trash requires that people be involved, to create it, then I see you have a problem with the human species.; 8/14/2012 8:39 AM
