Although Wal-ee is a robot found on Earth after humans ran the planet into waste, I felt like adding him to the picture because when I noticed that this photo was taken by a rover, I felt that Wal-ee was a perfect (and very cute) addition to the photo. I added little touches to make it feel more like a postcard that would be sent from Mars. Little NASA symbol in the corner, a stamp of course, and a fun line at the top, playing off of the human assumption that aliens would say greetings if they met us. As a marine biology major, I support the exploration of the ocean before space, but I do find it fascinating that we are able to take pictures on an entirely different planet and the technology is only advancing as time goes on. We need to be figuring out ways to save the planet we live on before we start poking into other planets to eventually ruin as well, but that’s just my personal take. That much money should be spent in a smart way, not just based on curiosity alone. After all, curiosity killed the cat.
