Mars science in 2003
"An MMRTG-powered rover will be able to land and go anywhere on the surface of Mars, from the polar caps to deep, dark canyons, and will safely provide full power during night and day under all types of environmental conditions"
No it 'efing will not, because NASA still has not acquired the one and only existing artifically intelligent autonomous robotic vision control system, and the communication lag times between Mars and the Earth make remote control of a Mars rover damn nigh impossible.
Further, the efforts NASA is currently funding to solve this problem aren't even on any track leading to any solution of it.
