Mars rovers to receive smart upgrade

The US space agency's rovers will get a software upgrade to allow them to make "intelligent" decisions in the study of Martian clouds and dust devils. The new algorithms will give the robots' computers the onboard ability to search through their images to find pictures that feature these phenomena.

Only the most significant data will then be sent to Earth, maximising the scientific return from the missions.

Keep rolling, little buddies! You are our ambassadors for Mars! We'll be coming to Mars to see you one day! Mars -- the future home of mankind!

I wouldn't get as carried away, I doubt mars will ever be considered the home of mankind, especially by anyboyd that lives on the earth. Now as far as those martians go, you can't trust them anyways their always lying.

Hee! Hee! You slay me, WoDoByMe. But maybe I should have said, "second home."

Are you sure you're not carrying a grudge over that whole "War of the Worlds" thing. I say it's time we forgive our Martain brothers for their little invasion, and move on toward diplomacy. Let's build a fabulous embassy on Mars and staff it with our most gifted diplomats.

I volunteer.

It won't truly be "home" until it has a Wahlgreen's.

Well, they could use an upgrade for sure. There aincent.
