Back from a non-internet-connected holiday, I was surfing around and found JPL has launched the MSL website.
Here it is:http://marsprogram.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/index.html This is a big improvement over the one page we have had for some time. Naturally, some parts need fleshing out, but there is a page for every instrument, along with summaries of the mission goals and objectives. I have not read through all of it yet, but look forward to discussion of what we can uncover here. And I love this picture. MSL is gonna be BIG |

And, to be honest, I think you could make an all metal wheel lighter than a pneumatic one. You've got to make a metal hub for the pneumatic wheel anyway, might as well make it a bit bigger and forego the risk of puncture, deflation etc.
