Rock On!

Mars Lander, April 2019    (NASA/JPL Cal-Tech photo)

An exuberant command such as “Rock on!” needs a subject to go with it.  In this case, the subject is a rotating protuberance on Planet Mars.

It is therefore the perfect namesake for Mick Jagger and his bad boys.  As this reddish rock rolls about, it reminds folks of Jagger’s otherworldly gyrations.  NASA has therefore dubbed it the “Rolling Stones Rock.”
