IT'S the most expensive robot in the world, but it seems the Mars Rover has the mind of an eight-year-old schoolboy.
And like any bored schoolboy the $800 million machine is now passing the hours by drawing crude pictures of the male anatomy.
A photo of Curiosity's track patterns has sent millions into a titter for its likeness to a penis.
The photo went viral after it was posted on Reddit with the caption "Mars Rover = $800M, Team to Operate = $1B. Drawing a penis on the surface of another planet = Priceless.
Curiosity landed on Mars last year to explore the planet for any signs of life. It is controlled by a team of NASA engineers who send instructions to the six-wheeled machine each day.
