    Looks like the parrot may have made history?

    It takes a minimum of 15 minutes for a radio signal to travel from Mars to Earth at the speed of light. So the images they are watching are at least that many minutes old. And considering how quickly the rocket reached Mars, it would have had to be traveling near the speed of light as well. This story is not even good science fiction. It falls more in the realm of poor science fantasy!

    In fact, if it took 15 minutes for the rocket to reach Mars, and 15 minutes for the signal to come back to Earth, the rocket should have launched a minimum of half an hour ago. Yet, in the story it was almost immediate!

    Maybe Marvin the Martian intercepted their rocket,

    No worries, I’m sure the parrot will just flap its wings and fly back to Earth. Y’know, since the strip has completely thrown out any sense of scientific accuracy whatsoever.

    Well, it’s dead now. Or should be.
