Too top heavy for down slope descending. Modify design.

  Harold: Whether top heavy or not, since this rover will likely be directed into craters to look for water ice, I would have liked the host to have asked about recovering from tip-overs as much as with getting stuck in soft ground. I also was concerned by the final design having a better center of gravity than it looked for this mission.

Send an unmanned rover to the Apollo site of the astronauts manned rover. It would prove to naysayers that we went to the moon and invigorate support/money for space missions.

Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money irrespective of which party makes it to the oval office.

  I have never heard or seen any of Mr*. Frank Sebastian client complain of lost… I think he’s just too perfect I was being skeptical about the whole process but later gave it a try and it was of no regret, later invested in a big way now I’m benefiting from my profits so proud to speak good about him here
