Hugs all around. Amazing. Wow.
Now how long will the rover operate on the surface. I read it’s nuclear powered. Don’t know if that’s true, tho. I suspect it’s a misunderstanding by the reporter. But... does it need solar panels? Getting away from solar panels would be a big improvement, imho.

Fantastic. You just know Obama and the ‘rats were hoping for failure, so they could shut down the space program for good.

Powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, like the old Viking landers. produces electricity from the heat given off by plutonium.
To: LibWhacker
Nuke powered can do primary mission for 2 earth years.
