To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

As you can see on this picture Curiosity seems to have made a photo of something metallic.

Now the question is, did he lose it or was it there before Curiositys arrival? <img src=' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//shok.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':O' />

We might get an answer soon.

very likely. even if it would be non-terrestrial, they wouldn't tell us.

To be fair, it takes so long to develop and send the tech to another planet, curiosity is probably a decade old
