    The laser is a rapid pulse laser that blinks in either binary or Morse code (honestly can't remember)

  • @Shuttheheckup735

    how the hell did they come up with this daammnn

  • @deoxynchro

    The laser is used because radio waves would take a day to get back to earth, however the laser could send information back to the orbiter, then the orbiter could send the info back to earth within 1-3 hours (depending where mars and earth were in their respective orbits). For the soil, it's not soil, it's rust from Iron deposits in the ground, and about returning, no, nothing sent to the martian surface has come back.

  • @blue0footed0booby wow three year old comment! :D

  • ffff

  • @deoxynchro the laser broadcasts the climate of the current place it is standing on and the lander did return i guess

  • what's with the laser? and how about the martian soil? did that rover return to earth?

  • Earths first gift to the Martians as we sent in peace their first official TRUMP the poker table with automatic drink maker, card shuffler, and cocaine dispenser.
