Curiousity 🫂

This also reminded me of a joke from Ghostbusters II..

Prosecutor: Dr. Venkman, would you please tell the court why you and your co-defendants took it upon yourselves to dig a very big hole in the middle of 1st Avenue?

Peter Venkman: Well, there are so many holes in 1st Avenue, we really didn't think anyone would notice.

That’s curiosity’s hole job.

Turns out, you CAN just drill a hole in the surface of Mars

Are they drilling into very different types of rock or is this area (the basin) fairly homogenous?

The debris and surrounding rock looks likes it's a few different colors, so I'd guess it's different types of rock.
