Can someone one update this comic so that it now has a happy ending, one where the old Rover(s) meets up with Curiosity and they live happily every after analyzing rock together.

Also on a more science-y related note, do you think NASA will create a platform of cross communication amongst rovers old and new? Perhaps one day we will have a small network of rovers that cross communicate.

To your first question: no. There are no talented persons here, neither in science, math or any artistic field.

Also, no, they won't build some cross communication network. What would be the point? Do you think a rover is some sort of sentient machine that deserves it's own cellphone network for sexting?

What would be the point? Anyway, the bottleneck in communication between Curiosity and Earth is the 8 minutes window when the rover can transmit data to a satellite in Mars orbit. They are not going to waste that to unnecessary communication between rovers.

The saddest comic I have ever seen. I almost tear up every single time I read this.

I wish he got to come home.

>> No.4956523

No. It is just a machine. I refuse to feel sorry for it.

But then again... we humans are just complex biological machines...

>> No.4956527

I thought it would be informative to be able to have machines cross communicate because you could get a more accurate picture of what the planet is like in different parts at the same time.

This man speaks the truth!

Anthropomorphism might seems like innocent fun but ultimately leads to fetishism like furies.

im pretty sure thats possible without having them communicate between them

anyway, its not like they are going to communicate between them without human input anyway, so it kind of beats the point

dismissed

Maybe if we had a robot with a refueling probe we could have two cameras instead of ones up there.

>>4956543
Yes this is true, but perhaps with more sophisticated machines that require less human input cross communication between future rovers may be worth while.

Somehow his real name got out and he got chased out by some spammers in a series of threads and an ED article started affecting his real life prospects.
