The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

Given I haven’t really posted much on them that’s a surprise

I think I’m figuring them out a little more

Full Springtime recap here

Thought of continuing both after the vine incident post AND the silly blanket gift post 😅

Spring just feels terrible about seeing Spirals suffer in her body, that's gotta be rough... Also hey, lore! At least a rapid recap or we'd be here all day lol

Dual-Wielded Deceit AU belongs to me

they’ll begrudgingly except it they’re a lot more concerned about Spring forgetting to ask for help, given they’re both known for trying to stubbornly handle Dangerous things by themselves even when they really shouldn’t

A slightly sillier breather from the stwess teepers
