Let’ help the CCP craft fail... No more CCP outside China.

I would like to believe engineers studied the strengths and weaknesses, success and failures of every rover and lander and the next versions will be practically indestructible and unstoppable.

I'd like to believe that.

For example. Will the next version have a blower or sweeper to remove dust from the solar panels so over time dust build up doesn't diminish the efficiency of the solar panels after a dust storm? Two independent batteries as backup? Redundant fail safe systems? Like Arthur C. Clarke said, 'the Ramans did everything in 3'.

Engineers should consult with people from Boston Dynamics who likely have novel solutions to potential problems.
