Drive home your new Mars Land Rover today (or soon)
January 18, 2007
Starting sometime after July 2007, NASA has big plans to announce the launch of the new Mars Land Rover. After the impressive success sending one to Mars, the struggling Aeronautics giant is going to let you drive one home. Most likely inspired by the military’s cashing in on the sturdy design of the Hummer, the Mars Exploration Rover will be produced by none other than Land Rover. However, unlike it’s counter part, the Hummer, the Mars Land Rover will feature solar power, but still compete in the off-roading/American-flag-waiving niche market. Seeings how people who buy the Hummer are already prepared to spend over $50,000 for the vehicle, the MLR will come at a highly discounted price of an estimated $81,000 (the one on Mars costs $800 million to build alone).
Stay tuned for a complete list of standard and optional equipment.
Sorry, I think the warranty is going to expire after 300,000 miles, so don’t plan that trip to Jupiter just yet.

Scientists discover moon that smells like shit.
This point was sadly left out of the New York Times article on this remarkable discovery.
As scientists predicted but have had a hard time proving, the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, appears to be dotted with an abundance of lakes of liquid methane. The lakes are more intriguing evidence of the active phenomena at play on the only moon in the solar system that has a dense atmosphere.
Ten points to anyone who can give me the best joke about what should be sent to further investigate.
