So there was water on Mars, WE GET IT!
Now go do something useful with the planet FFS.

It never sticks when you want it too, I'll bet, when the night comes, it'll stick then....it always sticks when it snows overnight, unless it's been raining and the ground's wet....an unlikely Martian event I feel.......maybe the rover will get lost in a snowdrift?

Experiencing traction problems . . .
We need an orbital gritter so the critter can move - oh and a battery pack

I'll bet he could give us any answers we wanted without having to mess around with these landers. Not to say that we would understand a word of what he would write, but it would at least be entertaining.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that we are looking at weather systems ON ANOTHER PLANET!
A planet that's not Earth but a completley different planet, in space and everything. When I do that, sometimes I feel a breif sense of awe.
