Offer Upgrade  User ID: 22137915  Brazil08/18/2012 02:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | US space agency Nasa's Curiosity rover is to carry out its first laser target practice by zapping a Martian rock. Quoting: [link to uk.news.yahoo.com] Scientists have chosen a rock 10 feet away from the six-wheeled explorer's landing site, where it will flex its robotic arm and take aim. It is one of 10 tools Curiosity will use to break rocks and scoop up soil, exploring whether the planet's environment might once have supported life in the form of microscopic organisms. The one million dollar question is: Why NASA put a laser gun in a rover that's supposed to pick up soil samples and take pictures, in first place???    "Do or do not. There is no try." (Yoda) |

A 2-billion-dollar robot in another planet for taking pictures and picking soil samples, the same thing done by the other two robots??? "Do or do not. There is no try." (Yoda) |
