Self-replicating robots, Mars will be colonised at an exponential rate, in 50 years our kids will have to unite the planet to resist invasion by Curiosity's progeny.

Arm up, people.

There's a bit of distance between you and it.

The nuclear battery is a good idea, one of the things that really restricted the last rovers has been keeping their solar panels clean enough to keep them warm over winter, and obviously they had to sleep at night. With a nuclear power source this bad boy should be able to keep going 24/7 for up to 14 years.



That sounds like a description of Webbo's partying 'career'!

Suffering from a small case of mood poisoning, must be something I hate.

They're just fiddling about with different methods of locomotion I guess. Hopefully next up is 100-ft tall walking tripods.

Curiosity's "skycrane" landing system is also pretty cool:

Not too fond of that idea, tbh.

I love that they thought of and made teh skycrane, amazing to do that on a different planet
