Looking at an image snapped by NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars, UFO enthusiasts believe the might have spotted a rodent or a lizard — or something else with legs and a tail — among the rocks.

Just thought some might find it interesting

And this is relevant to Traveller because...?

This article (written by an actual scientist, not a "UFO enthusiast") nicely proves the point that all these claims are nonsense: http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2013/05301348-finding-faces-and-animals-on-mars.html

These types of articles (related to other worlds) are often posted here. After you've been a member of the site for a while you'll see more.
 
I posted because some players are into the 2300 era and some are into Traveller but all are into SciFi and this article is ambiguous as to whether it is SciFi or reality. :)

There's no ambiguity about it at all. It's obviously a rock, not a "lizard".

In this universe it is a rock, in a science fiction universe it may
be a lizard ... :wink:

Just imagine an intelligent alien race of small lizards which has
its headquarters in the Solar System on Mars and uses psionics
to control the governments of Earth. When spotted, they force
NASA to cover up and fake proof that it was actually a rock, but
our brave heroes suspect that something is wrong and build a
rocket ship to travel to Mars and find out the truth. Would have
made a nice science fiction novel in the 1950s ... :D

And, as this IS a Science FICTION RPG site, it fits well.

As long as the rocket had fins. It ain't a spaceship if it doesn't have fins.
 
Just as long as I don't have to see another movie with reptiles on a vehicle terrorizing people.

Maybe if they made it more epic hmm...like maybe
Waitaminute, I've got it :idea:

Dinosaurs :!: on a spaceship :wink:

Ahem... Doctor Who, he may have a time machine but he still got there before this article! :lol:
Not the first time a dinosaur got loose on a spaceship/orbital habitat now I guess I better think up how one gets used to disable an Imperial warship and guess who gets blamed... :twisted:

Finns would be fine, but I would also find Danes or Swedes
acceptable ... 8)

If they don't have long legs, they ain't Swedes. Gotta have long legs. :mrgreen:
