      There are different scales for big and small. In comparison to everything Curiosity was associated with (rockets, planets) it was tiny

        It’s annoying me because that commenter is using a diminutive to try and anthropomorphise a robot.

        You can anthropomorphise it but at least have a basic understanding of the dimensions of the thing you’re trying to make cute.

          Your mom is the size of a small car, but I still think she’s cute.

            This from the “we” who called Higgs-Boson the blasphemous gd particle but make the joke more popular as the misunderstood “god particle” that eventually became most conceptualized as "the God particle?

          I mean, on the cosmic scale that’s the context for the story, both cars and robots are tiny ;) I’m sure the black hole will think they’re cute before gobbling them up.
