[quote:Anonymous Coward 16845676:MV8yMTM5NDQ4XzM2MTI2NzY1Xzg1Mjg0RDYx] Egg-shaped and weighted at the bottom, the landers – prototype designs for a possible future NASA mission – look like roly-poly Weebles, which wobble, as the old jingle goes, but don’t fall down. The craft are still only computer simulations, a decade away from being ready to launch, but their simple design overcomes some of the biggest challenges in exploring asteroids’ alien landscapes.
