    Well of course it is insanely difficult to drive a remote control car. And the added difficulty of actually sending a probe to the moon is so difficult that they had to wait 4 years before sending one to land on Mars.

    Well, it's not a task for beginners, given that the moon is a little more than a light second away. The camera images are one second old before you get to see them, then you need a short time to react and then your commands will need another second to reach your remote controlled car. A delay of more than two seconds can easily end in an unavoidable collision and the end of your mission. And remote controlling anything on Mars directly over the distance of several lightminutes makes no sense at all.

    At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

      ...but this time, on the Moon![^] Not only did those bipedal lunar-landing-fake-coverup robots deploy a whole load of equipment and drive a lunar rover around, they also planted flags which are still visible from orbit. Amazing what capabilities NASA had in the early 70s, isn't it?

        That's right, it's actually Cathedral Terra[^] in disguise.

          Then stand a little closer. Hey, JSOP! You got anything that'll launch this bugger bang zoom to the moon?

              If you can't distinguish the difference between the human tracks and the LRV I think you need to head to Specsavers. :cool:

                Stilton? (the only place I know that cannot produce the food item named after it)

                You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

                  I'm pretty sure they can't produce Mars bars on Mars either.

                    I dont think there is a law to prevent them like there is in Stilton.

                      You have to look on the moon. :doh: P.S. - I countered the 1 vote. I don't know why someone would univote you for that reply. P.P.S. - Some people feel empowered by univoting, they should get a life.
