Extraterrestrial RPV

This may be just a bit OT, but good news anyhow. First indications are that
NASA has successfully flown the Phoenix spacecraft to a soft field landing on
the surface of Mars. Historically, the odds of success were not great.

Now we know why the success rate of spacecraft to Mars has been so low.
According to the text associated with this image:

http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ph..._full_001.html

the Phoenix has "octagonal solar panels" but in fact there appear to be
10 sides. Fortytwo possible explanations:

1) Mars is so far from Earth that space-time warping changes the way
edges are counted.

2) Eight in base eight is written 10, just as ten in base ten is written
as 10, so "octagonal" sometimes means "ten" such as during a full Phobos
moon.

8) The Martians are messing with our minds and attached two more panels
in the infamous 15-minute gap before they were deployed. Clever little
imps!

After some research, I have found some never before seen images of
Martians! Compare what NASA sent up:

with this high-resolution satellite photo capturing the Martians in
action, attaching extra solar panels and doing other tricky things:

That hate us for our freedoms!

Don't I remember that a prior Mars launch failed when there was a
disconnect between engineers working in English units and those working
in metric? Your explanation above isn't really so far-fetched. *grin*

Since no one will talk to you, I guess you have to talk to yourself.
