Rogie Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 This is why I am so excited! It's utterly out of this world! Taken from the OP in the Curiosity Rover nears Mars topic: "We're not just scratching and sniffing and taking pictures - we're boring into rock, getting that powder and analysing it in these laboratories," deputy project scientist, Ashwin Vasavada, told the BBC. "These are really university laboratories that would normally fill up a room but which have been shrunk down - miniaturised - and made safe for the space environment, and then flown on this rover to Mars." So, a lot more than spraying water around. You make it sound like songkran. I know you're winding me up and I admit I have deliberately overplayed my hand, but I really am impressed, not just pretending to be! kokopelli 1 Quote
