That's so COOL !.
But my first thought was "there's no way there's crew on that thing !".
I can imagine that when it all works, it's incredibly rewarding to be part of that effort. Heartbreaking when something goes wrong.

Funny, I was watching a Disc Channel Moon Machines documentary while reading this and eating my oatmeal... ';)
Playing actual footage and audio from the Lunar Rover getting rolling, they told them to do a heading of 203^. I am wondering relative to what exactly the heading was? ;)

I think at least 10.
I agree with walter, the curiosity landing was much more exciting. I doubted it would work.
I can't see curiosity lasting as long. It's drive wheels are getting torn up. The added weight and rocky terrain is tearing holes in the Al wheel skin.
