Sounds from Mars

The failed Mars Polar Lander carried a microphone. Are any of the current Mars landers so equipped?

… and it picked up a voice calling, “Tars! Tars Tarkas!! … Drat, where is that boy?”

Not that I know of, but why bother. All one would hear is “Grok this” and “Grok that”…

Naw, it was Tars Tarkas who smacked the Polar Lander with a blunt instrumrnt and busted it.
:slight_smile:

Microphones? All right! Karaoke night!

“Somewhere…beyond the sea…somewhere, waiting for me… My lover stands on golden saaaaaaaands…”
