Humans can actually read a landscape, go through a lot of rocks - crack them open, throw them, pick up the next one. Rovers are great - they do amazing science - but it is a lot more tedious process; they go much less far than a human can cover in a day.

American Scientist

Andy Weir

Back in the days of Apollo, sending humans to the moon was the only viable way to get the scientific data we wanted. But now, with our computer and robotics technology, there's very little an astronaut can do on Mars that a well-designed rover can't.

American Novelist

Brad Sherman

It would be great some day to have astronauts in a rover on Mars. But just about anyone except an oil company executive would say its more important to have 50 million solar powered vehicles in the United States.

Writing is like driving a car. Writing the beats of a screenplay? It's like driving a rover on Mars. You have to be absolutely, extremely precise.

Steven Squyres

These rovers are living on borrowed time. We're so past warranty on them. You try to push them hard every day because we're living day to day.

Christina Koch

I invented an algorithm for starting micro turbo-molecular vacuum pumps to be used in science instruments on a future Mars rover.

Curiosity - the rover and the concept - is what science is all about: the quest to reveal the unknown.

We are the only country with an operating rover on Mars. We are an amazing country on tech.

American Public Servant

We didn't know if the rover could climb up or down the hills of the crater.

Use 'rover' when discussing vehicles designed for space exploration on different terrains.

Space Technology

'Rover' implies the vehicle is operated from a distance, not with a person inside.

Remote Operation

While 'Mars rover' is common, rovers can explore other celestial bodies too.

Not Just Mars

When describing a person as a 'rover,' it usually means they love travelling and seeking new experiences.

Life Adventure

A 'rover' often doesn't have a permanent home or job, moving from place to place.

No Fixed Home

Historically, 'rover' can refer to pirates or seamen, known for roaming the seas.

Historical Use

In sports, a 'rover' has a dynamic role, moving to where they are needed on the field.

Sport Flexibility

Using a 'rover' can be a strategy in sports to adapt to the opposing team's play.

Strategic Position

A 'rover' must be versatile, skilled in various aspects of the game, and ready to fill in as needed.

 But the reality is that the rover would sort of float over it. But we were freaked out, for a little while. So, we did some testing. And then we decided to go. But we didn't decide to go all at once. We put a toe in and then put another toe in, we drove up to the top and looked over and then we drove back. Then we said, "Okay, go." So here's the image from the other side.
