Curiosity Finds…SOMETHING…on Martian Surface
While scooping its first samples of Martian soil, NASA’s Curiosity rover captured the image above, which shows what seems to be a small, seemingly metallic sliver or chip of… something… resting on the ground. Is it a piece of the rover? Or some other discarded fleck of the MSL descent mechanisms? Or perhaps an exotic Martian pebble of some sort? Nobody knows for sure yet, but needless to say the soil samples have taken a back seat to this new finding for the time being.

A piece of foil from an opened packet of alien probes, of course...

And then Curiosity dies, but reboots again after three days, thus proving itself to be our robot saviour.
Now there's a religion I could get behind.

Yes, and Curiosity would have a coffee holder as standard as well.
