Did you know?
Mars is the only known planet completely inhabited by robots.
😆
@fribbledom why does the fermi reasoning on this feel so different for "life" >_>
@fribbledom There are robots on Venus but they are... not at their best.
@anne @fribbledom Solely inhabited by spectral robots, then
@InvaderXan @anne I think we are going to send it a toy plane. Or possibly a boat.
@InvaderXan but at least it has all the crème brûlée it can eat. And they're sending it a friend!
@anne I am excited by space dragonflies!
@InvaderXan @anne SpaceX for interplanetary probes NOT space tourism.
Probably replace the second stage with a hydrogen burning one.
@fribbledom …striving for independence…
@fribbledom ...that we know of
@fribbledom A while back I read that the instruments those robots have to look for life turned out to have a design flaw that caused them to exterminate life instead detecting it. Sort of an accidental Tan Ru. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Tan_Ru
@neal @fribbledom Perchlorates? 
@fribbledom When humans land on Mars we gonna have a proof of no intelligent life on mars.
(Stolen from movie "Mission to Mars")
@fribbledom that we *know* of 😜
@fribbledom
Eh, they probably had bacteria on them somewhere, no?
@sirspate @fribbledom less than you’d think! very few things can survive the conditions we put the mars rovers through and NASA tries to keep stuff very clean, to avoid accidental cross-contamination
If any earth bacteria could survive on mars, it almost likely would’ve been there before we even sent anything - mars and earth have traded pieces of each other via astroid strikes a fair number of times
@Satsuma OTOH, viable bacteria were found in cables from the camera removed from the Surveyor spacecraft visited by Apollo 12 which had been sterilised then left on the Moon for a while. @sirspate @fribbledom
@fribbledom also zero cows on Mars

@fribbledom Mars is not real. 😂
