A lot...and some of them quite scary!


Pretty amazing isn't it? Love to have one of those to play with...

I'm really impressed. I would like to see a rover teaming with such dragonfly on Mars... even more on Titan, where atmosphere density would be perfect for it!
Looking to movie, however, I suspect that main application will be in military and intelligence fields, so I understand ustrax worries!

Well, yeah...but, that's just the way things are. Tech advances have been inextricably linked to military stuff since forever; it's just the way of our species.

I'd like to see a fleet of these going through every square centimeter of Valles Marineris; can't think of a better application! It's the ultimate cross-section of Mars' crust, at least in the Tharsis Bulge area. A few flying through Hellas would be great as well; we don't know enough about the ground truth there, IMHO; it's the biggest depression on Mars, so the air's relatively thick.
