Imagine how confused an alien would be if it saw the rover just stare at a sand dune for 2 days and eventually going over it

I feel like crying right now cuz I've never felt so enthused about all this stuff B4 like I should have cuz every video I've seen about the subject, the speakers never really captured my fascination about how important this all is but this dude...
