I suppose one day engineers will develop a cliff-climbing robot.

Exactly. And knowing that worlds are generally not flat and the most interesting places to explore have slopes or even cliffs, robots will have to be able to climb.

        Okay: Drop the bedrest, but please try rappeling in a full 0-pressure suit real soon (n/t) - E.P. - 9/29/2006 3:46:51 AM
        
        re: First, it is not clear you would need to rapple there. Second, have you ever climbed rock and third, have you every wore a pressure suit of anykind? - Chris Vancil - 9/29/2006 7:49:14 AM
