Repetition. Have You Recite Your Prayers Today?

ROVER.
RO VER.
Stage 4.
 Phase 4.

Scientific codes are complicated. I am not perfect but  I like perfections. How to make things perfect?

The Olympic athletes are perfectionists. They practiced, practice, and practice all the time in one chosen field of sport for the rest of their lives. Just ONE.

The scientists, doctors, astronauts practice their skills hundreds to thousand times before they perfect their skills.

I remember when I was young and was asked what I want to be when I grow up, what kind of occupation I want to have. Medical practitioner or being a doctor is not one of my chosen field of work. Why? I heard that to become a doctor you must be a biologist first, or you must have a 4 year course in the Science Institute. Chosen diploma course in: Biology, Medical technology, Zoology, Veterinary Medicine, Chemistry). The 4 year course is good enough? Not really. You have to study again for another 4 years to master Medicine and continued studying and learning and apprenticeship. You must have a P50,000-P100,000 (< in the 70's) (in today's time you must have P1 million pesos) worth of money in your bank account for the long duration of studying in University aside from the tuition fees paid for the course. Then you must have a  frog or toads in jars submerged in formalin that you will dissect first. Then next is a cat and a dog. Yuck! Before you can graduate you must be able to perform an "anatomy operation with a human cadaver." Each medical student must buy their own cadaver to study. You will have to stay in the morgue or watch an actual live operation at the hospitals. Then you have to perform so many "live operations" and it will take a lot of bodies to practice your skills of surgery. That's how scary. Have you seen the movie DISTURBIA? The surgeon had so many cadavers underground in performing his skills? Or it could be that the doctor's house was built in an old cemetery and was developed into sub-urban community? Only the scriptwriter knows.

In Dentistry? The would be dentists practiced on so many patients before they can become a dentist. Practice makes perfect. You're right! It's a non-stop educating doctors, opthalmologists, optometrist, musicians, pianists, surgeons, scientists and astronauts because they should aim for perfection and their skills must represent the latest of the technology that is applicable in today's standard of modern medicine and modern space technology. Teachers have to practice and train themselves too to better equip themselves with today's geniuses out there. They too must compete.

So what's with ROVER? ROVER is the modern robot that was sent to another planet and used by NASA scientists to collect samples of any object or organisms within the surface of the planet where it is. In the movie THE MARTIAN, the ROVER robotic machine was buried deep under the sand dune of Mars. It was there before the Earth's astronaut arrived. The samples sent by Rover from Mars to Earth made it possible for the exploration of Mars by these group of astronauts. So why the movie is entitled THE MARTIAN? Who is the Martian? Mark Watney the astronaut is a Martian or the ROVER? It could be  Watney for staying that long duration of more than 365 days on planet mars which is unbelievable. Or is there a sequel? I know you were thinking about the cartoon character in the Martian. OMG! Am I being redundant?
