Description
I've always been a fan of 'The War of the Worlds and especially Jeff Wayne's musical version of it.I thought it would be a good idea to have the NASA Rover looking for life in the rocks whilst in the background there's the wreck of a Martian tripod half buried in the sand.

Didn't they invade again after we showed up on mars? Still why would we not send an invasion force of our own?

If you read the book, it states the Martians deemed Earth uninhabitable and set there sights elsewhere

No not the book but the Jeff Wayne's musical they invaded again or at least it was alluded too.

Nasa scientist: Anything?
Nasa scientist 2: Nope.
Nasa scientist: What about that giant metal thing?
Nasa scientist 2: Thats probably another nazi moonbase.
Nasa scientist: But mars isnt a moon.
Nasa scientist 2:Good point.

And that, kids, is how Spirit stopped transmitting information.

people always underestimate how big that rover is, that thing is the size of a damn car!

Mini Cooper, to be specific. Not sure whether they meant the modern one, or the old one. The modern "MINI" Cooper isn't mini at all.

NASA AGENT 1: Don't be ridiculous, conspiracy theorists, this is just a boulder. I mean, if there are boulders shaped like gorillas, women, and giant faces, I'm sure there could be boulders shaped like Martian Tripods.
TRIPOD: UUUUUUUUUUUUUULLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
NASA AGENT 1: Please ignore the "ulla," that was just a glitch.Β
NASA AGENT 2: Sir it appears to be moving irradically!
NASA AGENT 1: Shut it down. Shut it all down.

I'm gonna assume that that's the shit that went down when Spirit stopped transmitting info.

NASA AGENT 1: No, that was just a solar flare.

It actually got stuck in a sand trap.Β

NASA AGENT 1: Solar flares work strange wonders, eh?

Again, in real life it got stuck in a sand trap.

NASA AGENT 1: Well, how do you think it got there?
π: 0 β©: 1
NASA AGENT 1: Look, this is getting out of hand. All you need to know is that there are no Tripods coming for Earth!
Tripod: UUUULLLLAAAAAAAAAA!!!
NASA AGENT 1: Jesus, Agent 2, will you turn down the speaker!?!?!
NASA AGENT 2: The noise is coming from outside, sir!
NASA AGENT 1: Shit! Run!

NASA AGENT 1: CALL CHUCK NORRIS!!!

NASA AGENT 1: Hell, I'm young enough to say stupid shit like that!... But run, ye cheeky bastard!

"Overlooking the obvious" is what this could also be called.

And after finding this, they armed the Curiosity rover with missiles and miniguns, rechristened her Thunder Child and took the war to the Martians...

And that's how Spirit preished.

They're described to be 100 feet tall in the book.

Not necessarily, one of those appeared over Big Ben, and if I recall, Big Ben is pretty damn tall.

It's just a trick of the light. Nothing more than dust and shadows. Move along.
