LOL! This reminds of my dad telling me how he used to get the computers in the backroom of mission control working, by giving them a solid thump. Sometimes things got stuck back then and a good whack would get the drives moving again.

We had a computer operator who would hit the monitors. We said she “Fargoed” it. Her last name was Fargo. It worked though.

They could have taken a real mole to Mars...but how much food would it have needed, and could it survive in the thin Martian atmosphere?
To: Red Badger
It’s just some PVC and duct tape - should be no problem!

Tons. He met almost every famous person that visited JSC. Lots of stories regarding those interactions. Example, he was in the elevator with Tom Cruise and Penelope, and they started making out very hard right next to him. Awkward. He thought Tom was putting on a show. Stories about Bruce Willis when he was there making Armageddon. So many others.
My favorite: Dad also forgot protocol regarding how you interact with Queen Elizabeth and shook her hand (not supposed to touch the queen unless she initiates it). She was actually fine with it but her people had a fit. Could write a book on all of it.

Need to be careful digging into the surface... What if Mars is actually a massive life form? /s

"...or if the digging vibrations calls a Sandworm?........."Now you did it! Five (5) years on the wagon and now I'm going to have to fall off and watch it again.

NASA unsticks its Martian digging probe by whacking it with a shovel I love these low-tech solutions.
