I can imagine that if Mars was ever to be populated, these rovers would stay where they are, a museum build upon them with a glass sphere surrounding them at the location where they stopped, with NASA panels explaining "...back in 2012 this rover....."
WANT SAVE TO COMPUTER!
FIELD OF VIEW MUST BE LIKE 130°, WILL PLAY UT LIKE THIS FROM NOW ON.
...ROVER LOCKED MY CAPS.

and then the nuclear battery leaks
The nuclear battery is not a lot more dangerous than the nuclear material from a bunch of smoke alarms I would imagine.

I have a strange feeling that, soon, Curiosity will find something that will change the way we think, live and act.

A paradigm shift of sorts? Might be when the thing takes core samples and finds microbial life on Mars? Or water, perhaps?

Anyone remembers the ending of System Shock 2? That ship has to crash land on a populated Mars and all Hell breaks loose...
It is kinda scary to think there could be a breakthrough any day now.
Absolute confirmation that there can be life on other worlds and that the earth isn't unique.
I just wonder what effects that kind of discovery will have.
lol.
seriously??
if you don't think that there can be life on other worlds you're fooling yourself.
Earth is not special. humans are not special.
it's not like we're made of anything special.
we are arranged from the simplest and most abundant elements in the universe. the Earth is only unique in our solar system; it's not even unique in our galaxy, let alone our star cluster or the rest of space.
a rudimentary understanding of biology and astronomy should lead anyone to realize that complex life is not unique or rare in spite of the fact that we haven't found it anywhere else. especially when "anywhere else" accounts for barely 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the known universe.

I was thinking more along the lines of our own history. What if we somehow lost all memory of ever coming from Mars but found evidence that we did. Or how about that we were an experiment that outlived our inventors that once lived on Mars.
I love far fetched theories. I sometimes wonder why I'm not religious.
