Everyone likes capitalist western space craft! They draw pictures for them, make icons for them. Does anyone like Soviet spacecraft? No! Oh, look out for big scary Soviet menace! They will bring you socialist glory... Ooooh... Scary...

It's not because they're capitalist, tovarich. It's because they're cute and they have great publicists.

How's Comrade PrOP-M doing?

Greetings, Comrade! I am well! I sit here, still 5 metres from Comrade Mars 3, wondering what more exploration I am able to do. It is unfortunate that I do not have the science package that my fellow rovers are equipped with. There is only so much science one can do with only two specialised tools. How does your exploration progress, Comrade?

Most guys I know do quite well with only one specialized tool, so you really have no reason to feel inadequate with regards to your scientific package.

Most Glorious Icons of the People! Thank you, Comrade!

I think I may use that as an exclamation for a bit, if you do not mind me quoting you, Comrade?

"Most Glorious Icons of the People!" just has a wonderful ring to it in English.

I think we can get someone to create a cool icon for you, Mars-3. Let me see if I can't get someone to help you out...

there.

I see I was beaten to the post, so to speak. That's what I get for trying to run photoshop on my EIT processor. Man, that was slow.

Those are good! I particularly like the first one. Exactly the kind of studley Soviet worker I imagine when I think of Mars3.

Thanks! Although my database indicates there is a 93.6% chance that the worker pictured is carrying a pneumatic device of some sort in his right hand, I thought the cable might very well represent Comrade PrOP-M...:)

Awww! If it's any consolation to you, Comrade, some capitalist Western spacecraft fans like rovers with accents. ^_-
