QUOTE (vjkane @ Mar 15 2009, 12:55 AM) *
My personal call would be to land a mid-range rover every opportunity for a decade.... If one of them shows that the site is absolutely compelling ("organics"), then move post haste to MSR.

As said, "don't forget the orbiters". Organics have been found on Mars -- the methane. But we need a specialized orbiter to look for methane hot spots. Otherwise looking for organics with rovers is shooting in the dark.
