Thinking about this
article on NASA's next Mars mission...
Why can't NASA build a rover that can last
longer than 120 days? And why are they only
using Solar Power? Nuclear power seems like a
better way to go.
What would be really cool is to build a rover
that could pick up new energy or payload "pods"
that were dropped by a periodic visiting orbiter
allowing the rover to refuel and adapt its
mission.
It's a shame the $800M they spent is only good
for a few months of research data.
