Egg drop Memes

Left side: Your 5th grade egg drop contraption made of a plastic bag parachute and popsicle sticks. Right side: NASA engineers landing a $2.7 billion rover on Mars with a sky crane. Both technically did the same job—preventing crash landings. The gap between school science projects and actual aerospace engineering is roughly equivalent to the distance between Earth and Mars. Budget difference? About $2,699,999,995.
