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.
“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.
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.
