We've already been to Mars. (Pic warning)
After some reflection, i've decided that the whole interest in Mars thing is completely illogical.
Why?
We've already been there!

Wow! Olympus Mons looks just like Ayers Rock! :D

Yup! And if you want to replicate the low gravity, there's a pub just up the road apparently.

Almost convincing, heh, but Olympus Mons is five miles high. I don't think you could see the summit on even the clearest of days.

But it's after terraforming, you see. Erosive forces and all that. :p

too bad. Your planet has got to go for inventing Fosters
I hate how they win everything, I hate their accents, all their deadly snakes and spiders... bloody aussies. I mean martians.
Yes, please don't destroy us. Fosters was made so that you Earthlings wouldn't drink all of our good beer. Now I have let out our second biggest secret...

:eek:
I always knew those Greeks seemed a bit spacey...
(Phobos is a moon of Mars, I think. I dunno.)
Don't mind this fellow, he's probably from Phobos.
Actually, I’m from Deimos. :p
Isn't that in Greece?
No, it's one of Mars’ moons silly.
Phobos=Tasmania :D
(And JRV, I was talking about the other guy. :p)
Hmmm... in that case. I'm from Antares.
Awww, I feel lonely. I'm from Europa v.v
Anybody from Titan? Say hi to Huygens.

What's amusing is the fact that that photo is from 'backpackitaly.com', and that the name Europa comes from the same stem as Europe.
...
Ok, so it's only amusing if one hasn't had any sleep and is suffering from heat exhaustion. It's still amusing though.
And you know, that *would* explain why I like salty food so much. Mmmmsaltygoodness.

Actually, yeah, I didn't realise that, but it is amusing.
...Can I come over to where you live and lick the ground?

You can have a Mars rock. They don't taste as good as Europa salt though :(
