  There are different scales for big and small. In comparison to everything Curiosity was associated with (rockets, planets) it was tiny

    It’s annoying me because that commenter is using a diminutive to try and anthropomorphise a robot.

    You can anthropomorphise it but at least have a basic understanding of the dimensions of the thing you’re trying to make cute.

      Your mom is the size of a small car, but I still think she’s cute.

      I mean, on the cosmic scale that’s the context for the story, both cars and robots are tiny ;) I’m sure the black hole will think they’re cute before gobbling them up.
