The review group also flagged “the extraordinary resilience” of the Spirit and Opportunity rovers still at work on the red planet. Success of that Mars machinery “strongly suggests that a prudent, risk-reduction strategy is to use their design as a basis for the proposed Mid Rovers,” the committee stated.

RIGHT!
Would you believe it. We're going to do it all over again!

This 52-page NRC report, Review of the Next Decade Mars Architecture: Letter Report, is now online.

EDIT: By the way, for those who are unfamiliar with online books from the National Academies Press (NAP), note that NAP is offering the entire report as a single free downloadable PDF. Just click on the "Download" button under "Free PDFs" and answer truthfully or untruthfully the few questions asked. This will set a cookie on your browser to download the entire 53-page PDF rather than having to skim the report page by page in the "Open Book" online format.
