Previous radar scans, made by the giant radio telescope in Arecibo, P.R., have already detected some craters, a large chasm, possible volcanoes, mountainous areas...
...been complaining about his work, hoping to impress the girl next to him with brilliant talent for procrastination, has actually begun to play a harmonica and toss a frisbee simultaneously--the college student's Dylan imitation.
