Bunny sent me this video of landing a rover on Mars [1]. She liked it because the rover reminded her of Wall-E [2] (one of her favorite films). It's also strikes me as silly that NASA (National Air and Space Administration) [3] would seriously consider covering the rover with beach balls and have to bounce to a landing.
Then again, considering what it takes to land on Mars [4], maybe it wasn't such a silly idea after all.
