No no no. Unacceptable. I say we send a manned mission up to Mars, and reunite the rover with the pet rock.
This is the most important thing of this or any other generation. This will be the Zoomers moon landing moment. Disney will somehow own the copyright to this moment in 200 years, and make a largely ficticious, but partially inspired animated film based on this mission.
“i submitted a fraudulent payment to the bank, and now they’re repossessing my wife’s car! what do i do?!”
well, first, be glad they didn’t report you to the authorities for fraud, and let them take the car back - which they now own - before you’re charged with grand theft auto.
That is the first rock to be picked up, carried for a year, and deposited elsewhere on the same not-Earth planet, by humans via the rover. That rock would never have ended up where it did were it not for chance human intervention.
Rock moving has been a part of our existential comfort/answer/justification for so long that now we are even having a joy out of it when we can do it on another planet.
A long time ago I was but a young lad living in eastern Europe and I use to watch this cartoon. The actual content of this cartoon are lost to the ravages of my memory but a few things stood out, the main character had a flying board and the opening sequence was him flying through these hallways that were broken into geometric shapes and there was a big face that he flew towards.
Sometime later especially during university it became a recurring niggling idea. Did it exist or was it some dream or fantasy? I’d get enthused once in a while and try searching the depths of the net for it with no luck.
It wasn’t until I had graduated and was working, close to 20 years after the fact that I found it ! The name of this show is now imprinted on my brain.
The same thing happened to me with a few memories:
People turning into blocks and interlocking to form a city. It turned out to be Unico: Island of Magic.
Some evil guy crawling into a painting, and something about hair growing. This was a fucked up movie called The Peanut Butter Solution. This one legit scared the shit out of me as a kid and I had nightmares about it.
