I understand that it was good fortune. They could have rolled it over in any event.

In other news FOX NEWS is reporting a problem deploying the rover due to air bag obstruction. Is this a real problem or just something FOX has dreamed up to add suspense. It seems I would have seen this somewhere before FOX reported it.
