The United States makes an unprovoked attack on Mars (Earth, rover, moon)

[plwhit]

Not satisfied attacking other countries on Earth America attacks an innocent planet....

Humanity has unleashed its most awesome high-energy assault on extra-terrestrial geology to date, after the Curiosity rover zapped a martian rock with its Chemistry and Camera instrument (ChemCam) over the weekend.

The unprovoked attack was the first time any off-Earth object has been subjected to investigation by laser and unleased awesome forces on a rock named “Coronation”.

Curiosity's laser turns Mars rocks to ?glowing plasma? ? The Register

Anybody can attack the Moon, but turning a rock on another planet into ionized plasma?

Sounds like War of the Worlds in reverse.

All joking aside, what would we do if Curiosity was attacked by a local, and it was all seen on video? How would that affect the world?

With a rock name of "Coronation" this violent assault smacks of regicide. OMG!

If the MSL "Curiosity" were attacked by a local, we would be suing NASA and impeaching Obama for committing fraud by saying they landed on Mars.
