JPL says due to delays it won't launch until Fall of 2009 but still arrive in 2010 just a few months later than originally planned. The die-hards Rovers still at it, one headed to a massive 14 mile wide crater 7 miles away...

We're sending a robot with a laser to mars, the irony is so sweet I can taste it.

this will be a pretty big rover. But where are the solar panels?

If NASA could assemble few more robots with off the shelf components in a modular fashion to simplify construction and cut cost. Also few robots could be just loaded with Image and sensing equipment.

I share you concern about cost...Lets you congresman know that this robots could be mass produce to slice cost in a half and get more robots on mars surface...
