It talked about if the Mars probe found life it could go back in time, found a colony for the future. And something about the rovers already being there when the rovers arrive.

I know exactly how this is all going to end. Saw it in a movie:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116646/

Martians will capture the lander and rover, reverse-engineer the tech and send a rover army in lander replicas to take over the Earth.

We'll just reverse-reverse-engineer the tech and take over Mars. You don't want to get into a technology stealing war with humanity.

404: Rover not found

So yeah, Curiosity had a serious computer glitch last week, resulting a crash of the A-side primary computer. They're currently transferring control to the B-side backup computer, in order to get the rover working again.

Most likely cause of the glitch is memory corruption through cosmic radiation.

Seriously, "sunspots" is one of my favorites answers when somebody demands to know why a glitch happened. "Kim Jong Il" used to be one of my other favorite answers.

I had John Kerry in my computer once. He kept setting my sims Free Will option to maxiumum while restricting gun access in TF2. Luckily Mcaffee recognized him as a virus.

I think mine had a severe case of Belgiumitis. Kept setting random stuff to French, then switching back to English/Dutch at the strangest moments.
