Interesting

I wonder why they have abandoned the bouncing 'air' bang lander used with the Spirit and Opportunity rovers? Is this a much bigger rover?

That is pretty cool. There are a bunch of videos out the for the rovers landing/launch. My son enjoys watching them all...

Bill, The following snippet is from Wikipedia, however I believe it to be correct.

Thanks Ken.

That's a lot bigger than the other rovers. Let's hope it's even more successful
