responsible for Spirit rover problems. “The rover’s limited onboard
artificial intelligence was foolish enough to apply for an shonky online
marketing diploma. Soon after offers of cheap WD40 and antenna
enlargements began clogging the link between Mars and NASA’s Deep Space
Network. […] The rovers now have enough sense not to respond to spam
or open unknown email attachments, which makes them smarter than your
average person.”
