Opportunity on Mars
Explanation:
You've just woken up in a small crater on Mars.
The
surrounding landscape is barren, strange, and alien.
You've never been on
this world before.
You transmit pictures that are instantly rebroadcast
all over your
home world.
You are the eyes for
billions of
people.
You seek adventure.
Your mission is to explore this strange new world
and search for signs of pre-historic life.
You have six wheels, one
arm, and
X-ray eyes.
Surrounding you,
pictured above, is
iron sand and
light-colored protrusions that might be
bedrock.
You are the
Opportunity Rover that
landed on Mars just this past weekend.
