    How about you get the iron oxide rich soil out of your vagina?



    Oh god I want to die there.

    I would be happy to die a slow painful cancerous death just to spend a year on this planet.

    I guess sand and dust storms would eventually erode you away. Dunno if any bacteria in your body could survive and potentially break down your cells.

    True story, mars isn't as red as most people think.

    Rover littered with debris (they didn't expect the landers thrusters to throw it up..)

    Do they think it will negatively impact performance?

    They claim not, they state that the thing shown top right rotates but can crush or miss the debris, Surely if it is crushing the rocks then long term this could get into any bearings or wear the surface of the rover?

    Hopefully they've engineered something to seal the bearing from the outside environment.

    Let's hope that after 100M km the mission isn't thwarted by something that could have been solved by a broom or a jet of compressed air.

    Anaerobic bacteria found naturally in your body would have no trouble breaking down your tissues in the CO2 rich atmosphere. The limiting factor would be the temperature, and probably the stronger UV rays.

    I imagine you'd dry up pretty soon as well. Maybe you'd get mummified somehow.

    We should send a corpse to Mars, for science.

    Our sun is a G2V star(the V means it's a main sequence star and generates energy via fusion), meaning it is YELLOW.
