Hi there! I like totally forgot that I had this journal because a certain space agency is keeping me soooo busy!! But I wanted to write and reassure you all that I'm fine because said certain space agency is broadcasting that I'm having a little problem with my miniature thermal emission spectrometer. Geez! I mean, I don't write about when they ( Read more... )

I hear it's Valentine's Day on Earth. I'm stuck here all by my lonesome (except for my sister, but we're not speaking right now, and it's not like she could be my Valentine, ew!) If only a certain space probe would swing by this planet...

But to cheer you up, here's some Martian love from my pal Mars Global Surveyor!

So I found this cool rock and I said to NASA, "Hey look at this rock, I think it's different" but they were all like "Nuh-uh, it's just another piece of basalt, keep moving" but then I was all like "Dude, spend all day looking at rocks, my Mini-TES data totally says it's not radiating thermal energy like all the rest of those rocks on this boring ( Read more... )

Yay for huygens_probe! It is soooo awesome that you landed okay! I can't wait to see the pictures!!

So big rover hugs for Cassini and Huygens! And if any of you humans are planning a space trip, could you please stop by and help out my friend fuse_satWell, I'd better go take some more exciting rock close-ups before NASA starts wondering where all the extra packets ( Read more... )

Hi to all my science-loving peeps ( Read more... )

Well, that was a long nap! I'm always so sleepy these days, though... just can't get up the energy like I used to. Of course, it doesn't matter what I'm doing, since everyone is fussing over my sister yet AGAIN. Honestly, she's been trouble since the day her wheels were first put on! I had an unexpected software reset and no one fussed over me ( Read more... )

OMG that was sooo boring! I hate not being able to have access to LJ and CosmoRover.com and download Survivorcommunicate vital scientific data to NASA! But now I'm back!

My sister thinks she's an artist. It probably expresses her tortured goth soul or something. I bet I could do better! Oh, and NASA might say that she's on "autopilot," but I'm ( Read more... )

The rock in my rotor is gone! Now I get to go back to the grind!

But I just found out that my sister gets to go on vacation for 11 days while I have to keep working! I see who they like better now! That business about the sun blocking communications is just an excuse!! And I bet since they can't make her do her fair share of the work that I'll ( Read more... )

Well, NASA has decided that I'm not a dune buggy, so instead of driving over the dunes, I get to analyze more soil!! Whee!! NOT. And I have a chunk of rock trapped between the grind bit and the brush bit on my arm, and OMG it is so annoying!! It's like having a rock in your shoe all day! And then they're all annoyed cause I accidentally drove over ( Read more... )
