    The Olympics is great, but let's not forget the win of our robotic athlete too, Curiosity (with all the elaborate carrier and landing mechanisms) braved all the elements and landed on Mars successfully. Moreover Curiosity has started the mission and is working great. Isn't it amazing, that a system so far from simple can actually still function in such a reliable fashion, across that harshest of all journeys?

    It's all a fake just like the moon landings were.

    I see, since you are in the matrix, this is good news for you, soon they will be able to install a server for you on Mars. Alternatively, your current server can supply a Mars program for you until you get deleted. :mrgreen:
