This also means that the monster was behind Kenny 20 minutes ago. Bye bye Kenny.

Doesn’t this mean Kenny was at one point Winky?

It takes radio waves four minutes to get to Mars (give or take). What’s the other 16 minutes? Vacuum tubes?

At its closest, Mars is only about 56 million kilometres away, but it isn’t always at its closest. As Earth and Mars move in their orbits, the distance between them can increase to as much as about 360 million kilometres (when they’re on opposite sides of the Sun). That works out to just about twenty minutes for radio waves to travel that distance – each way.

In space, no one can hear you scream…until it’s too late.

What gets me about most space movies is that there are explosive sounds in space. The last Star Trek even had engine sounds IN SPACE!

About to lose another spleen…

I remember reading a manga where the characters hear church bells in space, and one asks how this is possible. The more experienced traveler explains that the nearby planet is inhabited by religious fanatics who use rays to make passing starships’ hulls vibrate in exactly the tones of church bells. Regardless of what damage it might do to those hulls, as it is more important to save souls.

2001 space odyssey got all that right

You gonna have to speak even faster than that Brew . . .Next scene: Kenny grillin’ the calamari in his big green egg …..⚉

I find it sad that there aren’t monsters on Mars hassling our space probes.

So if I’m driving the Rover, and get stuck in a ditch on Mars, how long will it take AAA to get there?

if you speak only english, quite a while, it seems russia has the monopoly on big rocket engines right now.

Winky never dies. He only loses or damages his spleen. Ensign Kenny symbolizes the red shirted crew members on Star Trek who always dies and gets replaced by next week’s show.

♪♫ Kenny’s suit is blue, and there’s nothing you can do… ♪♫

Monsters on Mars would make a good name for a rock group, as Dave Barry used to say.

Oh no! He killed Kenny 20 minutes ago! You son of a (blip)!!

Don’t worry, it only wants a small taste so it can grok humans.
