A message from China's mars rover

[xenomorph555]

"Hello everyone, please allow me to do a self-introduction, I am a Martian Patroller prototype, because my masters have yet tp give me a formal name, you can call me "bug."

My master has said my body configuration is an innovation. There are two members of my family, I believe that everyone is familiar with, "rabbit" (rover) and "Firefly One" (Mars).

I have a dream, I want to be like "rabbit", to fly into space in the near future, to complete the mission that Firefly One did not complete. You know what? In astronomical telescope, it was a beautiful planet. Master said, it is a far, far away places, first around the globe to do 20 to 25 days of accelerated motion, and then embarked on the Red Planet Journey nine months. There and the earth, but also the changing seasons, but on a quarterly basis to be six months, to 24 hours a day 39 minutes.

When flying over the moon, I'll bring everyone's blessing to "rabbit", the "Chang E" accompany and everyone's attention, she should not be lonely.

I have a dream, I want to travel to the mountains of Mars, basins, volcanoes, canyons, Mars has the most beautiful landscapes. Do not look at my small size, I have a a large arm, I can stand up up to three meters tall and look over an area more than three square meters.

I have a mast with four high-definition cameras, this is my "eye" that can not only look at the road, but also a wide range of shooting and long-distance navigation. On my back I have a pair of solar energy can be opened or closed, and with it I have energy. I have 6 wheels that can be adapted to the surface of Mars terrain, which is different from the "rabbit" mesh wheel. I can climb 25-degree slope, crossing the 300 mm barrier and can remain stationary at 40 degrees slope. I can only go around walking, you can walk like robots stepped in climbing, obstacle when, by adjusting the gait and coordination, to achieve a smooth walking and exploration, this is before any country Mars Patroller have not had a.

I want to take samples of Martian soil and rocks, as a gift back to Earth; I want to record Mars like the same wonderful view of the universe and every moment, to tell you the story of the constellation; I use my flexible forearm, in the Martian surface drilling, grinding and sampling, looking for a beautiful stone to Mars. Do not underestimate the stone, maybe on earth can become a "Crazy Stone", because through it may be able to find new sources of energy or traces of life on Mars.

I want to help my master to establish a permanent base on Mars, even better than the US Mars analogue homes, not only have the bedroom, but also a laboratory and a gym, maybe you can do with the Earth micro-channel, remember the "@ bug"!

I want to look for other probes that have arrived like NASA's Mars "Sojourner", "Opportunity", "Curiosity" or ESA's "Beagle", as well as long-lost little friends; I am looking for humans who have been looking for aliens, and proudly told them: I am the one from Earth "bugs"; I have to take my master to Mars to travel."

Well that was odd , this was made by the rover creators by the way, not me.

Is it that difficult to get an English translator?

This is horrible. They keep repeating the same mistake over and over again in some South Park fashion, obviously unable to see that the only reaction the world has to offer is snide, exhausted smile.

I've heard Chinese scientists and aerospace engineers talking in English and they do not talk like this at all. This is Engrish syntax.

Are they trying to mock something on purpose or the government is so inept that hiring a proper translator, despite spending huge amounts of money on spacey stuff, is an unspeakable act? LOL

That translation is So Bad It's Horrible.

Actually it was not translated by them, it was written in Mandarin at first, then I transferred it to English. So it's my fault, sorry.

[xenomorph555]

Okay, I reduxed the translation, it should (hopefully) more understandable, though probably not...

Well, it's not like they don't do that all the time. You've just extended their custom.

I'm pretty sure this isn't an official account.

Good point

[lajoswinkler]

They did it with Yutu all the time.

[xenomorph555]

I'm pretty sure this isn't an official account.

The one for Yutu was a non-official Weibo account.

This one IS official because they saw how the Yutu guy managed to get more public interest then the boring news reports ever could.

RE: Message

TO: Bug

Hello Bug,

While you are drilling and grinding, perhaps you could convince your masters to do a quick scan to see if you could find the brain cells I lost while I was reading your message.

You thank,

Culture differs I guess.
