    Even if this fails, it isn't a loss since both rovers are so far over their expected mission life everything at this point is a bonus.

    The Mars rovers transformed me from a NASA critic to a super supporter. #space

    Is this test site some sort of quarry in the Uk. If so it would be ironic as these often feature as another planet on Dr Who and other low budget UK Sci-Fi

    @TryAgain: There's a few places on earth eerie enough to pose as an alien backdrop in movies. Much of Pitch Black was filmed in Queensland, and the scenes of Klendathu and other bug planets in Starship Troopers were filmed in the badlands of Hell's Half Acre in Natrona County.

    promises to one-up that of the US-based rovers

    so, they're launching a decade later and the most they can do is "one" up? weak.

    Did they really say communications would take "at least 20 minutes" to reach the rover? I'm pretty sure it's the other way around, and they'll take at most 20 minutes.

    @gadam07: Actually it can take well over 40 minutes depending how far the earth is away from mars.

    hopefully it is better than the US's since this is coming in at 14 years later.

    Haha, FPS mars map. It's actually just a 15' x 15' flat arena with no obstacles or anything to hide behind. The map's challenge is that there is a red-out due to dust storm where visibility drops to arms length. So, guns are useless in this map. Make sure to equip steel toe'd Tim's to maintain agility as you stub your toe on martian rubble.

    "one scientist compared to Google street view."

    I hope they're planning to observe appropriate privacy precautions, such as pixelating the faces of Martians so their identities can't be determined, and keeping the camera low enough to not see over the fences into Martians' yards. Britain - don't be evil!
