All I want to know is . . . Did those geniuses at NASA think to put mud flaps on the rover? I'm looking forward to the live footage and I'd hate to be peering around a big glob of mud smack dab in the middle of the camera lens the whole time!

I know the Lunar Rover carried during some of the Apollo missions had fenders. From the pictures of the Mars rover I've seen, I'm not sure if it has fenders or not. And yes, it would be A Bad Thing if a big glob of Martian gunk smacked right into the camera's lens.

The rover can travel at the break-neck speed of about 20 yards per day, so mud flaps aren't necessary.
