One day, several people were partying in a desert when a odd looking vehicle begins to head toward them. No idea what the vehicle could be, some of the onlookers went to inspect the vehicle before backing away to safety. However, the vehicle continues to move toward them when it suddenly stopped an inch short of the small crater, stunning the curious onlookers. One of the onlookers went to touch the vehicle and said, "It's made of metal...it's just a vehicle...but what could it be?"
"I don't know, it's like a being from another planet send something to us to tell us something...or something." said the other.
"Maybe there is a message..."
Meanwhile, back at NASA, the researchers watching the events recorded live from a video carried by the vehicle each let out a disappointed sigh as one of them said, "Our mission failed..."
One of the scientists was shocked and said, "What do you mean?
"Our mission is to find a sign of intelligent life on Mars...instead all we find are some Pro Football Hall of Fame voters who snubbed Michael Strahan from the first ballot election and the people who agrees with the voters..."
"Oh...you're right."
Another hundreds of millions of dollars worth of fiasco.

Was expecting some riff on either the TV show "Life on Mars" or the brits "Dave" movie.
There's no life down here either, beam me up Scotty. Wonder if the Viking lander went to Mars, PA? <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars,_Pennsylvania#History">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars,_Pennsylvani a#History</a> Just checked... Lander One got a bad software update (1982) that crashed the antenna app.
