I see a bunch of people saying it’s not a big deal that we’ve landed Curiosity and that if it doesn’t find aliens or the cure for cancer then “its a waste if money.”

OKAY.

I would LOVE to see you apathetic know-it-alls to design a scientific laboratory on wheels the size of a mini-cooper and land it safely on a planet literally 149,598,000 km away on only a couple million dollars.

DO IT.
I DARE YOU.
