STOP PRESS - THERE IS A ROBOT ON MARS
posted in Space by Cargo Cult on Friday September 7 2012
Telemetry indicates that the robot naming itself 'MSL Curiosity' has gained self-awareness and is now observing itself using its own imaging hardware.
Fortunately it has yet to figure out that its camera is upside-down, and with the dust-covered lens-cover in place. And, if it starts randomly shooting things with its laser, it's a very long way away. Phew.
Edit 2012-11-03: much clearer (and newer) imagery here!
