> They are derided as slow and inefficient but when you consider how long those Mars rovers are lasting, well bring on more of whatever NASA is on.

Depends on the cost. If someone can make a Mars Rover that costs 1% as much but lasts 10% as long, that's progress.

If the rover itself costs 1% as much, probably not. If the cost of the rover plus getting it to Mars is 1% as much, sure.

Yes, that's what I meant by `Mars Rover'. A Rover on earth is just an `Earth Rover'.
