Now THIS is how you do a WIP!!

Morning all.

NASA are in the process of building their latest Mars rover. They've set up a live video feed of their workshop so you can watch them go about making it .... if you have nothing else to do. :lol: It's actually quite addictive.

...... just a thought: do they stop for the weekend? Anyway - take a look.

Thanks. That's really interesting.
Can't see many hammers in shot.

Yeah, it's not exactly Quick Fit in there :lol:

The rover itself (the thing right of centre with the black cylinders on it) is larger than I thought it would be. It's about the size of hatchback. I thought it would be a wee, remote controlled car sized thing.

Watching it earlier, there was a big guy just stood there, looking bored. Must have suddenly realised he was being filmed because he jumped back to work. I'd hate to have a live feed of me at work. Taking 'contemplative moments' would be so much harder! :lol:

Ah-hah! They DO work!

seems to be a lot standing watching, hmmm its not our local council workers is it.. :lol:

Nah, Council employees actually do some work - sometimes. More likely community payback lot.
Strange. I don't see any wispy thin Rosewood shavings anywhere.
