If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?
For me i would just place like random paintings, like NASA would be very confused on why Mars would have paintings lmao.
cyberian_khatru, 
I would draw the iconic S on the ground.

Saturdaycat, 
Sometimes people just come up with brilliance, this is that moment
Kaizo107, 
Man, I was gonna saw draw Dickbutt but this is better
CallMeTHELazer, Something simple, like a bolt from one of the rovers. But make sure it's from one that has never been in that half of the planet.
Adama, (edited ) A standard automotive bolt. Maybe something that was ubiquitous in the 1950’s but isn’t used today in place of something cheaper and more reliable
spriteblood, A newspaper from the day of the moon landing
deeoh, 
Better yet, my missing 10mm socket.
Jentu, It's always the 10mm
hexadecimal, A single horseshoe crab, naturally deceased.
pasci_lei, 
The flag of North Korea.
Link9454, An orb with a print for a three fingered hand.
simplemac, Quaid... start the reactor...
Fizz, 
I would put one of those rock faces 🗿. It would make nasa think ancient tribes had space travel capability.
negi, A primitive water bucket, made of Moon minerals.
NASA: "We Found Evidence that Moon had Water, and Life!"
sour, 
szczur, 
Penguin Originals: "An Epic of Gilgamesh".
CauldronCat, 
A pen lid with the long bit broken off, a shopping trolly token, 1 threadbare sock, a novelty rubber (eraser), and one of those black twisty wires that are used to tie up new USB cables, all sealed in a sandwich bag with 'aubergine curry' written on it in janky handwriting.
Why all this random rubbish? Because it'll absolutely screw with their brains!
JustHach, 
A throne with a skeleton decked out in ancient roman clothing.
owiller, A simple message: "ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT MARS, ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE."
chainsawrobot, 
purely to confuse NASA scientists
Ah then it is simple: we place an ESA spacecraft there.
1bluepixel, 
I'm thinking either the golden disk from Voyager, or the puzzle box prop from Hellraiser.
keeb420, a rocket perfectly designed for the martian environment, so that the rocket doesnt destroy itself on launch like the starship prototype for one example, and for humans to return home from mars.
