Title: Curiosity Rover - NASA
Post by: B-Red on April 28, 2016, 02:50 PM
I checked this web site today form NASA. The videos are great for illustration of what is on Mars.  The link is

The first thing the struck me is that the terrain is very much similar to the MOAB and other aired locations on Earth. So, we can claim that we are astronauts in training when we are offloading. I wonder if this qualifies us for a Student Grant or tax write off ;-)

I'm afraid not Emad. Apparently only Federal Senators can make ridiculous claims for financial reimbursement and get away with it.

Work with me Matt. We can buy Alberta Safari from Lee. Designate it as Rover Mars training School. Pitch the idea to the Transportation Ministry. And yes, hire instructors from  Quebec. You have a perfect diversification program for climate change initiative. We will creat a business that is less dependant on fossil fuels and more geared to the future. Our defenders will be running biodiesel.

I think the light is coming on.
