    Why? Because rovers are so damn slow:

    Mars rovers:
    Opportunity: 45.16 km
    Curiosity: 20.4 km
    Spirit: 7.7 km
    Sojourner: 0.1 km

    Moon rovers
    Lunokhod 2: 39 km
    Apollo 17: 35.74 km
    Apollo 15: 27.8 km
    Apollo 16: 27.1 km
    Lunokhod 1: 10.5 km
    Yutu 2: 0.1 km
    Yutu 1: 0.1 km

    Does it come equipped with machine guns and missile launchers? I want to see some Michael Bay action on Mars. Send two of them instead of one so they can dog fight.

    They should have thought to make a Robot like Spot which could travel on different terrain but with sustainable battery like Solar Energy.

    Space news was much more interesting when Claire Reilly was hosting the show. CNET should arrange for her to cover other news while still doing the space news stories that made her popular.

      Claire is working on finishing up a video about space right now! Keep an eye out for it.
