            There's just enough atmosphere to make it interesting

Bunny sent me this video of landing a rover on Mars [1]. She liked it because
the rover reminded her of Wall-E [2] (one of her favorite films). It's also
strikes me as silly that NASA (National Air and Space Administration) [3]
would seriously consider covering the rover with beach balls and have to
bounce to a landing.

Then again, considering what it takes to land on Mars [4], maybe it wasn't
such a silly idea after all.
