Stupid Humans Leave A Fucking DVD On Mars
July 28th, 2008 by Johnny Firecloud in EditorialsI feel a hell of a lot worse about the collective rationale of our species. A time capsule DVD compiled by the California-based Planetary Society was attached to NASA’s Phoenix probe as part of its mission to explore the red planet’s arctic for signs of life and water. With a destination 70 million miles away, the DVD is the single most exclusive disc in the history of mankind. Eat your heart out, Axl.
The idea is to give future Martians a snapshot of how they’re viewed on Earth, because it would only make sense that aliens traveling millions of light years across the universe would make a pit-stop in an arctic crater on a dead planet with a sulfuric atmosphere to check out the DVD selection. Naturally, nobody thought to include a region-free DVD player with the probe, but I’m willing to bet that that won’t make much of a difference.
