this really makes me wonder why nasa would use aluminum wheels. it makes no sense at all. as far as I know the other rovers don't have wheel damage, so why did they not just go with the same thing as they can see it works well, but the nasa scientist know that this might happen as the weight of that rover would eventually tear them wheels up even if it were aircraft grade aluminum. I just wonder why??? what do you guys think. news.yahoo.com/wheel-damage-affects-mars-rover-curiositys-mission-094634994.html

It has driven me crazy since the first time they mentioned it. Someone should be fired. 2 billion dollars for shitty wheels? It really does piss me off to no end thinking about it!!!!

I'm with you will. I don't understand it at all, two billion bucks for a set of shitty aluminum wheels makes not one bit of sense to me at all.. who ever thought of this idea must have known what would happen to the aluminum as there nasa scientist. this is what makes me wonder why???

Are we really surprise that NASA will opt out on getting better wheels for cheaper. United States Government spend 25 dollar for a hammer. Maybe we should do public oversee committee for NASA. We need unbiased individuals that would care more for open door policy then keeping national security.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel. They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life. I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at. You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do! I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them. SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest. I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
