18. Rovers exploring the Martian surface have left interesting tracks.
Please leave it to the internet to take an innocent picture from space and turn it into a meme. An image taken on the Red Planet’s surface of tire tracks left by NASA’s Spirit rover went viral nine years after it was taken. The picture shows the rover tracks in the shape of a phallus. Oh, and with the low gravity and thin atmosphere, wind likely won’t be blowing those tracks away anytime soon.
Many believe that the engineers in control of the Spirit Rover purposely created the tracks because they were bored, but that’s not the case. Evidence shows that the Spirit rover’s six wheels naturally started that shape when it made a turn. Current Mars rovers like Opportunity and Curiosity also have made track imprints that look like that.
