Rocket Science
They were saying on the news this morning that scientists are planning to land a Rover on Mars.
You'd think these people, who know about gravity and black holes and rockets, would be able to work out that sending anything with a K Series lump any further than the Post Office and back on pension day would be too risky, what with all the head gasket problems. I'd love to see their Green Flag policy!!! |

Sorry, it seems I misunderstood.
They've sent a Probe, though quite why they think that's going to impress aliens that have got flying saucers is beyond me. Apparently they're sending the Rover in four years time. I reckon they'll be lucky if it hasn't rusted away to nothing by then! |
I heard it was a very expensive project. It definately wasn't a FreeLander.

Anyway, I'm guessing it'll be one of these. Seems like the obvious choice if you're using a Rover to explore the Martian landscape. |
The Daily Mail reported that this is the vehicle they used to get it up there

I thought you said they were sending a Ford Probe first.
If that's the case they will need to send a mechanic as well to Fix Or Repair Daily. S |
The whole bloody thing is daft, Minv.
Makes sense to use a Space Cruiser - You can trust Jap cars - but the that's where any common sense seemed to run out. |

I'm not so sure, LG. The Space Cruiser has a lot more capacity for carrying equipment and can have a tow bar fitted so they can put the Rover on a trailer.
The Rocket would limit the success of the mission. |
