hey @rising-star2712, supersorry for the late response! but the issue basically involves using the Mars photo API (using it to send photos from Mars rovers) when a user asks the bot to. We'll have to decide on how to do the asking bit, it could be something as simple as an if "Mars" in messagecontent for now.

There are also ways to query/filter the images which we could implement at a later stage by asking the user to pass flags for say Earth date but for now, we can just have the bot send the latest image whenever the user does the "asking" by returning https://api.nasa.gov/mars-photos/api/v1/rovers/curiosity/latest_photos?api_key=DEMO_KEY
