rule #1: be kind
With pictures like this it's so hard to convince my brain that it's not just a picture of a random boulder taken with flash at night.
I was looking at pictures of Mars' surface from Curiosity with my uncle who is a lunar landing and science denier. He said, "That could be taken at any desert on Earth." I was like NO SHIT! You mean to tell me that other planets have rocks too?!?! No fucking way! What do you expect it to look like?
You and your 6th grade reading level somehow outsmarted two generations of NASA scientists and their massive coverup and lies about space exploration? No, you fucking dunce.
When you think about it, that's kinda exactly what it is. Which is very cool :-D
Just a big random boulder in space amongst a whole solar system of random boulders, taken with a light for illumination because it's dark, yo
I mean, you're not wrong.
Except this specific boulder isn't stuck in earth's gravity well, it's got its own thing going on.
Except no weathering.
There is lots of weathering on mars
But not on an asteroid
