do we know where we lost the stone so someone can go pick it up in the future?

Martian colony, 2224, your guide at the Museum of Mars: And here we have the famous hitchhiking stone, which was retrieved after a 3500 kilometer trek from the colonial landing site to reclaim the Perseverance so that these two old friends could finally be reunited in time for the 200th year anniversary of their untimely separation.

"Don't forget to stop by the give shop and pick up your 'hitchhiking stone' keychain!"

"Why do they call a cheap piece of plastic shaped like the rock with a small split ring attached to it a 'keychain'? What does any of this have to do with digital encryption keys?"

"I don't know either, but make sure to buy one as a souvenir."

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.

While fairly pointless, it’s still interesting.

Truly one of humanity's greatest accomplishments.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Longer than a lot of my relationships...

Reached its destination.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

This is the first I'm hearing of this.

Future Martian geologists. "This rock has no business being here. There must have been a glacier at some point that moved it here."

I used to think that data was easily preserved, so clearly it'd be around for future generations

I no longer think this to be true - not without extensive work to keep it alive

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I wonder if there'd be a different prefix for a Martian geologists. I suppose they could be called areologists?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Those brave men and women who gave their all to study the areola, no matter the cost

E: but aresiologer sounds cool

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

What are you, an etymologist?

"this structure is not a natural formation. someone must have built it, so it must lead somewhere." vibes
