    I was thinking, why can’t Nasa send a probe/rover to Mars that is equipped with drones?
    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.

    Like what? You can't learn much about what a rock is made of or drill a hole from the sky. I added in my edit that they do have at least one orbiter.

    It was just a thought I had, I know very little about it.
    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...... :smiley:

    Fair enough. I'm just defensive at the implication that Curiosity is slow. He's doing his best :cry:

    My grandma explores mars faster than that rover!!

    HOW DARE YOU

    I double dogged him - he had no choice really

    They use the same code MFP uses to sync the fitbit.....soooooooooo....it's doing it's best.

    They were fancy. Only three in a box. I hid the box under the broccoli and a bag of frozen chicken stock to throw my kids off the trail.

    Maybe MFP could temporarily put fitbit in the filter, that might make this whole situation more entertaining?

    Someday I'll meet the gal who can spontaneously bust through "Conversation" by Mannie Fresh with me and it'll be the moment of a lifetime
