re: Web Hits For Spirit Far Above Pathfinder
The mission to Eros had fair amount of traffic as even the recent flyby of Wild-2. But we haven't had a rover land on either a NEO or the Moon in the "era of the internet". With a lunar mission you could have a rover which had large bandwith and interactivity. I would guess that one problem with a lunar rover would be overloading the internet & therefore charging for access for immediate and broadband access might be a fair solution.
