The article I read had a decent comment about it: 'who let Jeremy Clarkson drive it?'.

This is old news, but I am compelled to tell you why the rover drew that on the Martian soil and took a picture afterwards. It was to send a message to someone that works for NASA. I estimate that jerk got the message but will refuse to acknowledge it.

Nah, it was drawing something it wish it had.

That is incorrect. Your statement applies to humans, not machines. That rover knows should it desire that kind of component, it will get one eventually that is superior to such a limb of man.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Request an image from Google with safesearch disabled. I estimate you would eventually find one.

... I'm not sure why knowing that it'll eventually get one means it won't idly dream and doodle one in the sand.

Are you implying that the rover drew a phallic image due to its unproductiveness? That is absurd.

They lost track of one cuz it got stuck, right?  That's pretty unproductive.  The precedent is there, brah.  Does. Not. Compute.

No, the absurd part was it drawing a phallus on the soil due to an idle desire to have such a component. It's wheels lack the precision to  make a rough schematic. Thus I conclude that the rover drew it as a message to the one that requested it to be decommissioned.

There's two rovers, right?  You tryin' to say one wouldn't be happier with a dong?  Does. Not. Compute.

It would be disappointed that it can't have one while on Mars when we haven't a manufactory there yet. If it wanted one enough, it would have began preparing a site for construction processes.

That's what it may have been doing.  A penis factory with a penis floorplan seems sort of penis creative.

It's too small for a proper factory. Size is very important for such concepts.

Large enough to house drones in it.
