A four-year-old's interpretation of the Mars Curiosity Rover mission

Josh Stearns writes,

My four year old son painted this at school and told his teacher, “This is Mars. Mars is red. And there is a robot there taking pictures and sending them back to earth.”

Mars Curiosity, eat your heart out.

NASA has done a great job publicizing and making the Curiosity mission accessible. My young daughter came home from from school the other day and asked if I knew there was a robot on Mars, and that it sent pictures showing flat rocks where water was.

Mars Curiosity is a robot running on nuclear fuel and does not have a heart.
