Because almost a year ago now, at PNW 2007, I hung out with one of the mars rover guys (Mark Leon) who told us the exact same story Lavery did (plus lots of other fun stuff ) so I'm inspired to play it how I think they want us to.

We did do something similar to that last year with our various autonomous modes though.
