For those unaware, Perseverance and Curiosity are both armed, like the good patriotic American rovers they are - equipped with lasers which have a definite scientific function, but which also (let’s be honest) serve to dissuade any Martian critters they come across from getting too close…

Let’s hope Sheriff Percy doesn’t need to use it.

      I don’t get high. The original post was clearly not being serious. I saw an opportunity to “yes, and.” It’s weird that people would clearly get that the original was joking but that I must be being serious.

        You posted a clearly joking post, I build on the same joke and I’m labeled a troll? Weird.
