Good rover #Perseverance does what its humans tell it to do. Here's to those humans who created it and to those operating it for science, in the era of #spaceEconomy for billionaires.

Do androids dream of electric sheep?
or, in the era of #technofascism:
Do rovers dream with LLM minds?
There must have been a space-time discontinuity between April 5 and now, and things got really messed up there on Mars. Or here 🙄
Here on Earth, we think they're still on Sol 1858, but according to #NASA, on Mars, April 5 was already Sol 1882. Or the other way around.
Arthur Clarke has a novel about such spacetime mess-ups, Time's Eye.
