An application went out two weeks ago from a Dutch non-profit organization called Mars One. They were looking for a few people who want to go to Mars. Forever. They had 78,000 people respond.

Darnit, NASA. Humanity hasn’t even stepped foot on Mars yet, and already we might be contaminating the place with our pesky Earthling microbes.

Look, last week NASA got everyone excited when they said they might have found something “earthshaking” on Mars. Then they gave a press conference and told us they found ice…on Mercury. I hereby direct NASA to the above comic strip for all future announcements.

Scientists think they’ve discovered something quite interesting in the results of a soil sample test conducted by the Curiosity Rover… but they’re keeping mum on what that discovery is until they’ve had a chance to verify the data. Still, that hasn’t stopped Mars Science Laboratory’s Principal Investigator John Grotzinger from calling those findings “earthshaking” in an interview with NPR, saying “This data is gonna be one for the history books. It’s looking really good.”
Grotzinger, you big tease.

First there’s the Curiosity Mars rover. Then the news that scientists might have figured out the warp drive. A pyramid on Mars. And now NASA tells us that it’s considering building a base on the far side of the moon to help facilitate exploration on the Red Planet. World, you’d better not be jerking me around with all these exciting space travel developments.

We’ve seen this story before, guys. Sometimes it’s got Sigourney Weaver in it. Sometimes it’s got a weird faux-Egyptian civilization. Sometimes it’s got an overuse of the word “gibbous”. NASA, however, neglecting to heed the warnings of countless science fiction tropes, has sent its brave little Rover to go check out a Martian pyramid.
Well, pyramid-shaped rock. They should be going easier on the lil’ guy lest he develop a complex.

The Doubleclicks, two-woman nerd band extraordinaire, posted this song this morning to ruin your day. Or to speed up the invention of a method to send hugs through intrastellar radio wave transmissions.
Go ahead. Watch. And you thought xkcd’s Spirit Rover comic was bad.
(By the way, their East Coast Tour starts up soon. Maybe we’ll see some of you at their Brooklyn stop?)

Look, I know that Curiosity didn’t land anywhere near Mars’ polar dry-ice-cap. And I know that this recent discovery was made based on observations from a particular Martian winter several years ago. And I know that the Curiosity Rover is not sentient neither tires, gets bored, or has feelings.
I’m just saying: Martian. Robot. Snow day.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
