Well they landed successfully - hard to believe the Americans can achieve stuff like this when the can't even make cars that can go round corners properly. Very impressive
Their little helicopter is pretty cool too, be handy for scouting on this and future missions. Hope they've used Duracell batteries

A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

You'll never guess what the woke brigade now want us to call our mums and dads...
After the NHS introduced ‘chestfeeding’, the gender-inclusive onslaught continues – meet your 'gestational parent’ and ‘non-birthing parent’
Good God, these people need stopped. Chased. Moronic twats

It's just a bunch of attention seekers trying to justify their existence. I reckon most folk will just tell 'em where to stick it!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
