      The Mars rover, built by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), has slowly scaled Mount Sharp since 2014. This mountain, officially monikered “Aeolis Mons,” was discovered in the 1970s; cut into its alien landscape is the boulder-packed Gediz Vallis channel, which some scientists believe to be an ancient river bed.

      >Among the debris are mysterious white sulfur stones, which are labeled in the panoramic view JPL provided. The rover also rolled over one of the white stones and cracked it open. Inside the crushed stone were yellow crystals of sulfur.

      I love this and can imagine the conversation in the control center. How can we get a peak inside? Should we use the drill? Let’s science this shit. And some dude in the corner says, “You could just drive over it.” I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall.
