If you are NASA's Mars rover Curiosity, what would you do now?

Asked by mazingerz88 (29260points) August 14th, 2012

I have another jelly to thank for this cool Curiosity rover link. If you can, please see the link and play with it first before posting to get better perspective on things.

In a fictional scenario where they have installed your brain into Curiosity, giving you total control of the rover——what possible messages would you send back to Earth or things you might do outside protocol?

I would drive to Cydonia to find out if there really are pyramids and that sphynx, to lay it to rest once and for all.

NASA – Curiosity, report please.
Curiosity – I could see Russia from here.

I would definitely go out in search of C3PO and R2D2 because I know they headed for those hills.

And I’d probably be hungry, so I’d start looking for a machine that sells Mars Bars.

Then I’d try to hook up with This Guy
