SpaceX founder has plans to send 80,000 Earthlings to MARS.

Fuck yeah. Space X’s founder Elon Musk has revealed plans to send a fair amount of Earthlings to the Red Planet. Bradbury be proud. For a cool $500,000 you can be one of these first colonials, granting yourself the right to stomp around and blight Mars with the footprint of man. It isn’t an attainable amount for a fledgling academic/aspiring educator like myself, but no one wants a bipolar mess to be one of the first people to traverse the stars anyways. Send up our celebrities and capable minds, let the Martians know we are sexy and intelligent. Then unleash me upon them. I will reek of bad decisions and caffeine. I will eat their sand, bask in their solar rays!

NASA is engineering space bugs to make bricks on Mars. Reread that. Ridiculous.

The future is here, and Ray Bradbury is spanking it beyond the grave. So it isn’t exactly willing an atmosphere into existence like Martian Chronicles, but NASA is up to some pretty goddamn spectacular stuff.

CURIOSITY finds evidence of ancient stream on MARS. SCIENCE IS GOOD.

Bradbury high-fives all around! Curiosity has found evidence of an ancient stream of Mars. Now – dear friends – all we must do is channel our combined telepathic will into filling that stream with material of the cosmos, transforming it into a bubbling creak. Or something.

Curiosity Rover premiering will.i.am’s’ new song on Mars. We’re already ruining that planet.

Sweet fuck, Ray. You were right. Your boy Jeff Spender was correct as well. No sooner have we set down some impressive roving capabilities onto the ground of Mars have we begun sullying it. Debuting shitty pop culture vomit such as will.i.am on Mars? If we’re going no standards let me read some OL prose upon Bradbury’s landing.

Mars rover fires its laser, totally lights up a rock. It’s for science, people. And fun.

Ain’t nothing wrong with mussing around a little bit on Mars. Curiosity has deployed its laser, teaching a dumb Martian rock about the strength of human prowess. Or at least how much we like blasting things with phallic lasers.

NASA pulls off a 350-million mile software update. Mars ain’t nothing!

NASA doesn’t fear distance! Nor space! Those dreaming fools have updated Curiosity’s software. No big deal, it was only a 350-million mile jaunt from Earth to Mars. Just another day in the life of those space-wizards.

Interactive app lefts you explore MARS yourself through Curiosity.

Goddamn amazing. Living on Earth got you down? When we’re not destroying the environment (whether or not you believe in Climate Change, we’re pretty impressive dicks to the Blue Marble), we spend the time fighting one another. Get the fuck to Mars if only virtually through this app that lets you explore the Red Planet through a panorama of Curiosity pictures.
