I don't know anton. My cousin works at NASA in Houston. Maybe I could ask him. Hey you'll never know until you try.

: As far as contacts go I know a Machnisit at
: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, does that count? I
: also met Dan Goldin at Nationals last year (ick, what a
: PR event). But seriously, NASA loves FIRST and I'm
: sure they've already thought of something like this BUT
: I doubt it will ever happen. The rovers will need to
: be built in more or less a clean room environment to
: prevent contamination and moving them out in the open
: probably would not be a good idea. Plus, I wouldn't be
: suprised if the Basic Stamp 2X is a more powerful
: processor than what those rovers will have on board...
