Without looking it up, how big do you think the Mars Rovers are?

Volkswagen maybe a little higher. Jeep Liberty? Which series of rovers do you mean?

one foot by two foot?

Size of a Camry, but weight of a couple bicycles.

I’ve seen pictures of curiosity with a man standing beside it. That sucker had 6 wheels and was the size of a buckboard.

Bigger than a bread box.

Washing machine?

I guess I don’t know! But the answers above sound logical.

When do we get the answer? I’m going to look it up soon otherwise lol

I went with a non specific answer, because I watched building progress doc on pbs.

About the size of a regular 4 door sedan? Godzilla’s dandruff?

At first I thought it was about the size of a remote control car. But I saw the picture of it next to person and it is more like the size of my apartment when I was in college.

^^Whoa. Hey you! :)

As big as a golf cart.

@ragingloli how big?

Smaller than mankind’s chauvinism : larger than mankind’s altruism.

It’s as big as dna can dream.

The first I remember the sojurner or something was small, like a big RC car. The last two are much larger, like VW beetles in comparison if I recall.

I saw a mock-up of the Curiosity rover at the National Air and Space Museum. It was about the size of 2 chest freezers. More interesting was the hole pattern in the tires. As they drive over dust and sand they spell out the letters JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) in Morse Code. Cool!

(While at JPL I left my footprint on the test soil where rover tire evaluation and testing takes place.)

OMG you live cool!

No shit!

That is so cool!!

Here is a 3D model from NASA . Look carefully at the wheels You’ll see the slits.

AH! You can poke it and make it jump.
I want you to adopt me.
I am glad you have such an enriched life. You are very fortunate.
