I guess I shouldda knowed, but I had no idea they were that big.
I envisioned it being about the size of a Radio Flyer wagon.

“So dark.”
“Nobody visits.”
“@MarsCuriosity:twitter Hey bro what’s happening. Great down here. Lots of gravity.”
“Taken out for a ride today. Wheeee! Mars Yard is fun. Loaded back on trailer. Locked away. Lights out.”
“Haven’t seen anyone in weeks. Mission over?”
“Scott visited. He’s the only one who ever visits when there isn’t a problem.”
“I’d be less lonely on Mars.”

They should give this rover a twitter account too. Think of the enui!
