Ooh, free Wi-Fi?
Yes, but the latency will be so terrible you might as well not bother.

Sorry, as founding signatories of the Outer Space Treaty, which "explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet", you dropped the ball on that one.

Ok, so then we've just had de facto ownership for the last 40 years

You said it man!
Politics and politicians are the biggest thieves and LOSERS on the globe.
That show "the biggest loser" should only have politicians on it...
I love my cheesy cruddy jokes though.
But all jokes aside - this is AWESOME
:-D
I wonder if humanity will be able to go to Mars in the near future?
They say the Martian atmosphere is like 95% carbon dioxide... I have always loved space.
But I agree with codesplice!
Turd > Politicians
:-D

They plan on landing on Mars in 2020. The second round of applications for the program will be opening up soon but it's a one way trip.

Does this Rover know any Kung Fu?
Only the greatest of Masters know the Kung Fu... it also needs a looooooong beard to make sure it is 1 of the greatest Kung Fu masters that has ever lived ever...
The beard needs to be soooo long that it goes around the Pyramids... through the Arch De Triumph and over the Great Wall of China... this beard must wrap itself around the world multiple times in order to become a great Kung Fu Rover...
If this rover does not show great skills in the Kung Fu... then it is not a great rover...
Do you guys know who is the greatest Kung Fu master that has ever lived ever?
If you can tell the greatest master ever... then you will have my respect... ek se.
Just try and snatch pebbles from it.

Maybe we can trade it for our crushing debt to them.

I hate to see a scientific mission go bust so early in its term, but I'm amused that the "farewell" message is written as if it were the rover speaking.
Kind of makes me think of a less-funny @SarcasticRover

They could have taken a lesson from Spirit. She crashed totally from a memory glitch. Kept waking up and rebooting for a bit, until someone managed to get a shutdown command to work at a slower bitrate.

(I stand corrected - there was a memory issue earlier on in the mission. I completely forgot about that and was just focusing on the end of the mission. Turns out I shouldn't forum after several drinks ;-) sorry about that!)

Please be more specific
LOL.
I'm not going lie, I laughed my ass off when I read that the rover will likely be a failure.

There was a much funnier Curiosity parody account, @MarsCuroisity.
However, it was eventually banned.
