When you are in a job for a year and it finally clicks and you understand what you are supposed to do
-
Help, I'm 5 years in and still have no clue

Read Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber. It will read as a biography and I assume you have time at hand to read it

RAR isn't creative enough.
How about ROSS. Rock obtaining and studying synthetic.

Geologic Resource Exploring Gadget
GREG

Gneiss!

Keeps looking for nipples so it can milk the rocks.

It's accompanied by a BOB, Bipedal Operation Bioengineer

ROCk Utility Spectrograph
ROCUS for short, pronounced "raucous". Normal acronyms have no business in government funded research projects.
-
Then it will be easy to assume it was made by some Friend's fan, given they've decided to call a ROCK ANALYSIS ROBOT Ross
-
What about GREG?
It doesn't stand for anything. It's just his name is Greg.
-
But Mars is named after the god of war, it’s Earth that’s named after all that stuff you find on the ground
-
You can throw the rocks at each other. That would create some conflict.
-
Yes, but war was created when Cain killed Abel with, guess what, a rock! Checkmate, atheists.
-
From knives to ammunition and missiles, all these things are made with rocks (minerals) so, in a sense, humans still use rocks to fight each other. As they say: "War... War never changes..."

Oh, that's a reflection in a glass helmet, not an eye...

This is why it's a silly idea to try to send people to Mars. At least colonize the moon first.
-
We should do both! A human being can do more science in a handful of days than all of our robots we've ever sent to Mars have done in the years they have been there.
-
Yeah, but the distance to the moon is a lot shorter, better to practice colonization in an easier to get to location... Somewhere we can learn from our mistakes, rather than jump over that opportunity to a place it takes six months to get to... Where there can be no emergency parts shipped up when something starts breaking down.
Nah, much better to learn the most common problems near by, then take that knowledge and extra durability with us to mars.
Also that way we can develop generations of habitats, figure out the best requirements, and know what we'll need, and develop light weight robust versions of things.
Trying to "Occupy Mars" without having a single building on the moon? That's just some conman billionaires gimmick.
-
We shouldnhave sent like 20 scientists in a mad rush to science as hard as they can then send the robot to collect and transmit all the results from wherever they end up
-
-
I thought the moon wasn't an option because of a bunch of reasons?
Like no resources, no gravity, no atmosphere, can't grow/harvest anyting, and the ground isn't good to build on or something. It would be too dependent on resources coming from Earth. Not that Mars is that great, but apparently it has a lot more options.

Get some drones to drill out a crators near the pole (where there's some amount of ice), then dig a tube/trench from the crator to that ice, get one drone up there with an SMR (small nuclear reactor) to go sit in the ice as a heating element (melting the ice so some amount of water comes down the tube/trench and into the crator.... Put a small dome in that crator, a light weight protective layer (because of all the Luna dust), monitor it for gases (from the water supply trickling in)... You got yourself a dome home.
It's just a different set of problems than mars.
Truth is we're on the only easy mode planet (and actively ruining it) - all the ones within our reach are going to be harder to survive on. I just think if a shlub like me can come up with a plan to survive on the moon, NASA should be able to.
1960s space suits and the lander seemed to hold up to it. Hell, they even had a dune buggy.

Just one step away from servitor. Praise the omnimessiah!
