    Are you really unable to talk to me without being needlessly rude?

      I’m not grasping how flying a helicopter on Mars takes the same sort of technology, software and control as landing a probe on Mars. But feel free to explain why they’re the same.

      Are you really unable to talk to me without being needlessly rude?

      Are you?

        What? Asking you to explain something is rude? I am legitimately confused as to why you think that’s rude.

          This is you being rude and condescending, because you think I was claiming that flying the helicopter on Mars was somehow technologically equivalent to an entire launching of a probe.

          You telling me to “feel free to explain” is based entirely on you thinking that you’re dunking on me. Since that isn’t my arguement, you aren’t.

          You’re not legitimately confused about it either.

            I’m sorry, that’s just not true. You’re making all sorts of assumptions which are false. I honestly wanted an explanation.

              Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

              You thought (incorrectly) that I was arguing that the helicopter probe by itself was as technologically impressive as the entire mission that delivered it.

              That’s why you used the “feel free to explain” verbiage.

                    I’m not exactly sure what you expect me to say at this point, but this is feeling awfully Reddit to me, so if you don’t give me a reason not to, I think I’ll just block you.
