I watched the full lot, and nasa were well on edge were they not. They did a stack of sims and then 7 mins for the real thing. Be interesting to see what they do find, Mars does have some history, we just need to find it. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I think NASA should hang their heads in shame, should not be allowed to call it Rover, we wanted a simple vehicle to land on Mars and they used all that technology surely it would have been more reliable to have a ladder chassis, with a Diesel engine on coil springs, so much tech to go wrong, it’s not good for expeditions and travel... so so angry!!!!
