The drones could have the planet mapped quickly compared to the rover crawling over rocks.
Because it's studying the geology/rocks and ground conditions?
The rover could still do all of that.
Just seems to me that we’d learn alot if drones could fly low over the whole planet.

I am aware that you are more knowledgeable than I am, I remember you from the Space thread.
So, that being said all I can come up with is...... drones would be cheaper than an orbiter. Lol
I give......
Fair enough. I'm just defensive at the implication that Curiosity is slow. He's doing his best

Will be back online next month sometime.3 -
Has anyone noticed that Fitbits aren't properly synching to MFP ??
If so, you would think someone would have started a thread about it.6 -
