[Spoiler, Anomaly] The heck is this thing I found on Duna?

[Spades_Neil]

Not the rover, but the thing sticking out of the sand. What is it a reference to?

It's a rover too, just not yours. And it got buried. You can guess which rover would be relevant these days

[Ascensiam]

You found yourself one of these.

Chev nailed it.

Hello!

[spikeyhat09]

You have found yourself a WALL-E

[Will_hynes]

R2-D2. Somehow made it to Duna...

I think is more a reference to the Spirit rover which I believe got buried in sand after a wheel broke. But thanks to MapSat, Ill be sending a rover of my own there soon.

[doggie015]

Where are the coords to that?

[souza]

nice great to see that they put some funny things on planets instead of just simple terrain all over. By the way? what mods did you use to make that rover? looks awesome ! especially interested in the weels

Thats the Prometheus Solar rover by Lionhead. Its a really good Curiosity-style rover.

i believe that buried rover is a reference to this:

but then again, that camera does look as having been modeled after the one on curiosity - so well... there's that

[Matokage]

Hello!

Curiosity Don't know how to take photos with the right angle

[MrPwner]

No, no it's just instagrammed to put on it's social media pages. At least it doesn't have a duckface.

[Punk]

The very next photo sent back to Earth was of some sepia-tinted poached eggs and a caffe latte with a foam swirl.

[MrPwner]

So artistic!

[Felsmak]

Even Mars rovers need to take profile pictures every now and then.

Ehhh.... Curiosity doesn't have solar panels.... Looks way more like Spirit or Opportunity.

One cannot possibly tell if there are solar panels or not on the vehicle, all there is visible is the camera mast, it's buried in the sand? >_>

The MER does not have a camera mast shaped like that.

MER on the left, MSL on the right:

You misunderstand, I was referring to the rover Spades_Neil was using, not whatever rover that camera mast is attached to...
