I know this is old news but....anyone as curious as me?

The current plan they say is for the rovers to touchdown on Jan 20th....hmm, 2004 FIRST season would be in its 2nd week ...

So here we are again, sending more rovers to Mars. I wonder if NASA will show the bots to us before they send it. I'd love to see em up close and maybe stick some bubblegum underneath and send it to Mars (yes, i'm kidding).

Anybody have NASA contacts? I'm sure all the kids involved with FIRST would love to see these bots (in action?) up close.
