First Martian Aircraft

[richardm]

This (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3032725.stm) sounds like it would be fun:

Soon, a small aircraft laden with sensors and a high-speed datalink could be flying over the mountains of Mars - the first aircraft to fly over the terrain of another world. Called Ares (Aerial Regional-scale Environmental Survey of Mars), it could, if all goes well, be flying over the Red Planet's southern uplands in just five years' time.


I hope it gets selected - That would really be something to look forward to :)

Pfft... it's not even built on Mars. I'm disappointed.

Nor by Martians.

What are we now, just sub-contractors?

and look at is garish colourscheme, I mean polluting the skies of another planet, what about something nice and tasteful in say red to match, or a nice contrasting lilac?

Yeah I built a Camaro one summer in high school. I got the parts from all over town, and I was like driving it everywhere and getting tons of chicks for for it. The thing did like 0 to 80 in 4 seconds flat.

I crashed it and that's why I don't have it no more. I totally should of took pictures of it cause no one believes me now that I built one.

Uuuh. Blue. It was blue.
