It's being claimed as an actual Mars Rover photo taken back in March.

imagine hanging out on mars. Gets boring real quick. I still can't believe they're actually planning to put people on that planet

There's a really, really, really thin wire stretching from here to there. It's about 405 million km long (to make up for the times when mars is far away) and thinner than a hair. It takes a long time for the bytes to make it through because the distance and just how thin this wire is

This too. The robot engineers that transported and attached the wires did so with the utmost care

Seriously, Joeri? They do move around you know. Copper is very flexible and that is why the wire is so long. Oh my god I don't want to have to explain these simple concepts to you again

The same sort of very thin, very strong yet pliable wires are used to help animate Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys at concerts. It's a miracle material really.

how does it not get tangled around both planets with them rotating and revolving at different rates, let alone all the shit in between??

Oh geez have you even been to space, you dimwit? It's mostly nothing. It's extremely unlikely that anything would cross the path of the wire.

given enough time, something will eventually cross the wire. what happens then? also I'm still not getting how the wire isn't getting wound around both planets like string on a spool. Are Mars and Earth actually getting wound in towards each other? Is there an inevitable collision in the future?

You guys don't get it. The planets are clearly lined up nicely and rotate on their own axes.
