There is it - a new rover on Mars. So cool

The ultimate UAV, eh? Wish I had that sort of funding for my hobby

Shouldn't this be posted under FPV ???

Can't wait to see some decent pictures

It was pretty cool though, woke up half an hour before, then 15 minutes before, then went through the 7 minutes of terror and they barely got folks quieted down after touchdown in time for the two pictures to come up. Almost reminded me of Prometheus but nobody started touching buttons that weren't supposed to be touched. There were a bunch of scientists going nuts though.

Well FINALLY something I want to spend tax money on.

If the next pictures look like something from Transformers 3,
I'm taking my planes and hiding in the mountains somewhere.
Or Australia.

But if one of your planes or radios turns out to be a transformer?
