Another robot writeup red-penner

In the midst of the moving 50th anniversary of the first moon landing (reliving the adventure in real time was what made the experience so special, using the same time scale with all its dead air static, mission mundanity and occasional profanity, but simply shifting a nice, round fifty years), forbes.com reported on NASA’s future robotic Mars explorers.
