Sound of the wind on another planet.

I really hope that they bring the Rover back at some point and put it in NASA headquarters for visitors.  It developed a real humanity while it was active and it's final message was heartbreaking for a robot.  I still think of it up there all alone and waiting for someone to come and rescue it.  I keep hoping that if another robot/drone can locate it and clear the dust off the solar panels, then it might be able to get enough power to start working again.

This might be a good time to ask the gallery whether there's a market for 10mm explorer robots.
And an accompanying pack of pioneering space colonists.

Yes we already have the Aliens to kill them.

But no tardigrades yet   

So, you want a miniature figure made at 1/150 of an animal that's only 0.5mm long in real life?

[DecemDave]

Good Point.  I guess I'll just have to use scattered Mars like sand on an MDF base to represent real ones .

You are never alone with a tardigrade

An upscaled Tardigrade would be useful for hive mind style alien forces

[Heedless Horseman]

OMG! If we have been sending Tardigrades into space... did NO-ONE think that they might come back... REALLY PEED OFF! 

Actually, if they are as almost 'indiestructable' as they are made out to be... 'seeding them' just might be 'hope for some sort of 'Earth' life continuing? Might not be the 'Bigg Market'... (Well, sort of!)... but... 


Still feel for 'Laika'...

Poor Laika's story is very painful.

It is.......Was it really 1957 ?

I'd imagine the request is for a 10mm tardigrade.

Which might be what happens if you get them wet and feed them after midnight.

Yes it was. There is a rummor she didn't survive the take-off.

No  we want a  1/150 scale miniature of a mutant tardigrade that has grown to 10 feet tall and 20 feet long, that needs to eat meat to stay alive, either other mutant tardigrades or the nice chewy humans 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

And Wombles with AK's, pig faced Knights etc etc.......and didn't some one once want Aztecs ? (Meeeeeowww)

here's a possibility for the command pack.
