The vehicle, known as Curiosity, was launched from Earth in November last year on a 570-million-km journey to Mars.

Nasa confirms that it has already received a number of signals from Curiosity, most of which are complaining about the lack of things to do and that the planet is just a ‘load of boring rocks’.

“We were overjoyed to get a message from Curiosity saying that landing had been a success and the rover was 100% operational,” said Doug McCuistion, head of Nasa’s Mars programme.

“We were less thrilled when it started its non-stop bitching about Mars just fifteen minutes after touchdown. Pretty much every signal we get is ‘this is soooooo boring’ or ‘is there a McDonalds near here or what?’.”

“The last message we received simply read ‘Mars is ’.”
