Mars Rover, and Love.
The scientists working with the Mars Rover all love "it." They view it as a pet who turns its head and WOW! a stunning vista is revealed. They are upset when it suffers injury -- the loss of an antenna, or a direction. It only rolls backwards, poor thing!
On Earth, we are working on defining loveable FEATURES such as wide-set eyes, and submissive/dominant behavior modes. Extraterrestrial, we know that looks don't matter as much as output. Output is sexy.
The Mars Rover woman, a NY grad student, is so enthusiastic about being here in California, visiting NASA, working in real places of real science. She is major happy, major babe, and I wish hert and the Rover many long years making Scientists happy.
