We went to Mars. Well, we didn't go, that is, you and I didn't go, and the people at NASA didn't go, but they sent some sort of mechanical probe up to that planet, and now there's a robot crawling around on Mars, and we made it (not you or I; NASA). God damn, is that cool. I mean, I think that it's really cool. Our planet is sending little robots to other planets millions of miles away. Awesome. Absolutely awesome. This is so much cooler than going to the moon. Going to the moon is like walking over to your neighbor's house. Sending a robot to Mars is like spraypainting your name in giant letters on a wall in some distant city, and everyone who sees your name on that wall in large fluorescent lettering thinks to him or herself, "Who is that legendary person, and why is their presence so strong here? Awesome." At this point, I think it's safe to say fuck anybody who ever went to the moon. There are two problems with these people.
           1. They're not robots.
           2. They didn't go to Mars.
Also, the moon is boring. It's grey and dull. Nobody likes the moon anymore. I like Mars.

Oh man. I just thought of something even cooler.

Before that robot landed on Mars, which in itself is very cool, it had to fly through space. For six months! Really fast! We have invented flying space robots. FLYINGSPACEROBOTS! Man! What a time to live in. I think it's very safe to say that many, if not all, generations before ours did not have flying space robots. They had movies about flying space robots, sure, but the reason that they made films about flying space robots is because there were no real flying space robots, and they're just about the neatest thing in history. I'm getting giddy just writing about them.

Of course...

Our flying space robots don't battle or anything like that. They don't even look like giant humanoids with laser beam eyes. And, there's really nothing very interesting on Mars, as far as I know.

Yet,

It's kind of cool to think about how far we've come. Our technology is unearthly nowadays. I can't even imagine the firepower it must take to shoot a robot at Mars, and hit it precisely. That's kind of awesome...

But

It seems like they never televise robots being shot into space. And I bet that no matter how much energy it takes to shoot a robot at Mars, it looks really slow and boring, like that Space Shuttle nonsense. No one wants to watch the Space Shuttle take off because it's boring.

Or,

Maybe instead of large Mars robots, we could get a couple of really big robots here on Earth. Where's my robot?

Where's my robot, indeed.
