Its awesome we are evolved enough to put a giant RC car on Mars and yet penis jokes are still so hiarious that someone would risk their job over one where one has never been drawn before. Mars, the new bathroom stall door. Or as my sister put it: "Crude yet powerful, The lines draw your eye to the fact that...someone drew a dick on mars."
Or perhaps it is one of those inkblot tests, y'all see a penis in the tracks, I see wheel tracks. Just like inkblots look like inkblots.
That is just cost effective way to let the aliens know that we have it now. Related to this: doesn't everyone carve a dick on trees while taking a pause when hiking? Or is ot just the finnish military.... So I think this was natural.
Just wow. I personally find this fantastic, but I hope to God it doesn't end up in any senate budget hearings for NASA...
