There are complete idiots around here who think the mars rovers are a hoax. They fit in well with the idiots who think the earth is flat.
Quoting: Dr. Astro They are a hoax, we cannot put a man on the moon so your thinking we can put a rover on MARS and control it from EARTH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1436120 Actually we did all that and more. You'd be amazed at what you can do with a little education... Quoting: Dr. Astro Yes little sheeple edujmocation is just what they and you beleave in. NO man has landed on the moon, lets give you a bit of schooling in distance and rf controls. Mars is 34.8 million miles away from earth at it's closest point or 218 million miles at it's longest, it would take some 8 months or so to send a rocket there at a given speed of 24500 mph at it's closest point to earth. Now IF it made it there there would be little to no way to slow the rocket down to deploy the said rover as there is NO AIR MASS in space. We have little to no way of understanding the gravity of mars so no way of understanding how to land the rover. Now lets understand sending a signal 34.8 million miles away. That signal can only travel 186,000 miles per second, given that info the lag would be 3.5 min up to 22 min. Think about trying to operate something that far away and waiting that long for it to move if at all. Nothing they or NASA says is logical. Is this the edujmocation your understanding or were you pulling it out of your rear end Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1436120 Mars has a thin atmosphere, and we do have an easy way of understanding its gravity; its two moons provide easy verification of its mass and gravity. They don't operate the rover in realtime, they send it a series of commands which is then executed by the rover. Once the rover reaches its waypoint, or if it detects something it doesn't like, it stops and waits for further instruction.
