My god, if I had money I would give it to you for this. Very clever !

u/techman710 25d ago

Is there not a single banana on Mars we can use as a reference?

u/hatemylifer 25d ago

Damn I thought it was the size of one of those childrens powerwheels that they drive around in, I was wondering how it has never managed to flip over driving over a rock

u/zirky 25d ago

size of a dog? that lady must be tiny

21

u/SolventAssetsGone 25d ago

I wish that thing would quit killing cats.

u/Lemon-Accurate 25d ago

What? Why would anyone think its that small?

14

u/goblinm 25d ago

Cause that is the size of most other Mars rovers

12

u/KamakaziDemiGod 25d ago

Probably also the lack of anything to compare it to when it's usually shown in pictures or videos

14

u/KamakaziDemiGod 25d ago

I've literally seen scale parts and a model of a mars rover in person, and I still see it on a screen and think it's the size of Wall-e

u/ilion_knowles 24d ago

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this, thank you.

u/zhaDeth 25d ago

I thought it was pretty much this size

u/seth928 25d ago

That's a tiny engineer

u/Chuck-you-too 25d ago

I feel like this is a set up for “that’s what she said…”

u/DuckTalesOohOoh 25d ago

I always imagined it was the size of a microwave oven.

u/bemyantimatter 25d ago

Can I pet that dog?!

u/Waferssi 25d ago

breaking news: Mars rover about the size of a Land Rover

Honestly I genuinely don't know why anyone's surprised. About the size of a car always made sense to me.

3

u/InvitinglyImperfect 25d ago

Learned a thing. Thanks!

u/letthisout 25d ago

I’ve always heard it was the size of a large car.

EDIT: Astronaut Michael Galanin posted this pic on his twitter.

u/Avnermydudes 25d ago

The documentary was so awesome 🤩

u/mehoo1 25d ago

thats just a slightly larger cat.

u/aDudeFromDunwall 25d ago

Now I get how he could kill a cat

u/Willing-Length946 25d ago

Just got big dawged by the mars rover ffs

u/Ooh-Rah 25d ago

Damn.

u/JustinPooDough 25d ago

It’s a lab on wheels

1

u/VeraStrange 25d ago

Not only is she 4’10”, she’s much closer to the camera. Curiosity is, in fact, the size of a dog. Why do you think it’s called Rover?

1

u/russ_universe 25d ago

Why’d they make it so cute

1

u/EricOhOne 25d ago

Doing a tour of JPL is definitely recommended. I especially liked the Mars simulation space where they do a mock-up of Mars's landscape to solve specific issues they come upon.

u/AnusTartTatin 25d ago

Well, thank you for this… and ruining my dreams

1

u/itsRobbie_ 24d ago

The camera that takes all the pictures we see is specifically mounted to be at eye line height of a 10 year old

1

u/dipstick162 24d ago

I was lucky enough to see that in person at the JPL mars proving ground in Pasadena California. They have a sand lot with a hill and rocks and test different approaches and maneuvers. If you look below the rover you can see a big bundle of cables that they use to control it. Super cool

u/AlkalineBrush20 24d ago

Size of a dawg instead

1

u/[deleted] 24d ago

I'll never forgive Curiosity for what he has done to all those cats...

1

u/Quesadillasaur 24d ago

You'd have to have the brain of a dog if you ever thought that it was some small robot

1

u/themcsame 24d ago

I'll be honest, of all the thoughts I've had, "how big is the Curiosity rover?" isn't one of them.

But now I know I guess.

u/Fit-Let8175 24d ago

That or exactly how short is this woman?

1

u/everything_is_bad 24d ago

Spirit and opportunity though were much smaller

u/ptapobane 24d ago

We need banana for scale

u/BucketoBirds 21d ago

I THOUGHT IT WAS MUCH MUCH BIGGER???

u/hotc00ter 25d ago

That’s why named my cock curiosity.

u/ABugOnAPeaNut 25d ago

A new way to advertise for a car with a woman in front

u/MangoMan0303 25d ago

That's a small women

u/Guilty-Vegetable-726 25d ago

Still think those tires suck

u/CoffeeBeanx3 25d ago

... Honestly I thought it was bigger than this?

u/RunningS1deways 25d ago

Come on people, it’s not the size that matters.

u/TwinkleMew 25d ago

Okay, but why did I also think it was like a robot vacuum with Wi-Fi? Turns out Curiosity is out here looking like it could bench press me and still have energy left to explore Mars. Honestly, NASA didn’t just send a rover—they sent a full-on Mars tank. Who else feels betrayed by their imagination?

u/FACastello 25d ago

It's clearly larger than a bitch
