Clearly your picture was photoshopped. Everyone knows Martian cats have green fur and antennas.
See the lander when it entered the atmosphere? Looked like a flying saucer. Think that was an intentional design from NASA? Flying saucers invading Mars.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
So Obama paid $2.5 billion to send a penny to Mars! It's used on the Curiosity as a focus device as geologists have apparently used pennys for years.
It's a 1909 VDB from the first year Lincoln pennies were made. It's worth about $5-$12. Had it been a 1909-S VDB it would be worth $500-$1000. Of course this particular penny is now priceless.
And in case someone is outraged, I was kidding about Obama...
