COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO: NASA rovers scrawl giant willy on Mars

(Before It's News)

The US space agency’s $820m exploration rovers Spirit and Opportunity set out for Mars in 2003 and, once landed in 2004, got busy looking for signs of water, a critical building block for life, on the Red Planet.

But while the Jet Propulsion Lab’s pair were driving around, they left criss-crossing tracks in the Martian sand, which appear to sketch out a crude drawing of an erect manhood and testicles.

It is thought the image was an accident, rather than the work of a puerile space boffin. A Redditor spotted the cosmic willy last night, prompting a huge surge of traffic to NASA’s web page – which promptly crashed the site. We note the page allows visitors to “enlarge” the image
