Its Stargazing Live at University of Leicester today. I am giving one of the talks about Curiosity and what we have achieved already, and what we hope to do in the coming months, when we will reach 1 martian year.
However, we need to balance science, speed and caution. Curiosity’s wheels have a little wear and tear. As the rover is nearly 1 tonne and has been driving over hard rocks that’s not surprising. Its something we will all be keeping an eye on.
