This is a humorous depiction of what might happen if robots met on Mars and chatted! In reality, Curiosity (rover) and InSight (lander) cannot meet, as they are 600 kilometers apart on Mars. Also, the goal of the Curiosity rover is to explore and investigate Martian climate and geology, whereas InSight is designed as a stationary machine that studies the interior core of Mars using a seismic probe among other instruments. But what if they did meet? Here they are shown chatting. Curiosity says, “What if…?” and InSight responds, “And…” Then they both exclaim, t0 is when the quake started!”
