I love this stuff. The other probe on which they're trying to test the seismic detectors, Insight, has a protective skirt that was made using scales from my chainmail supplies provider

I look forward to my Facebook feed filling with a hundred "this bunch of pixels here is totally an alien horseradish" posts. But this is very cool.
