I went to JPL yesterday to see them put the mobility model for MSL through its paces. It is HUGE!
Lots of pictures and video posted at http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001010/ I have the pictures (but not the video) at twice the resolution if anyone needs them for artistic purposes. --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

The first picture to grab my attention, and probably the attention of many people, was the top one. The door begins to open, and there are the wheels of the beast. I think pictures depicting its rock climbing abilities were a close second. All of the pictures were amazing.
Sunday, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! We're gonna turn the entire valley floor of Melas Chasma into a 10-foot deep MUUUD PIT! I was kind of thinking along those lines, but I'm really dreaming about the trenches they should be able to dig.
