I&amp;#x27;m not interested in listening to a fun synopsis of next chapter of &amp;quot;The story of Curiosity and the mountain&amp;quot;. Is anyone?
&amp;quot;We found an important boundary, and the rover is now next to the important boundary.&amp;quot; That&amp;#x27;s wonderful. I was expecting to hear at least 2 words on why it was important but it never came.&lt;p&gt;These update videos are a chance to also get technical, drill into details and explain the Curiosity mission piece by piece over a long period of time, perhaps in style of minutephysics. Seems to me as a bit of a missed opportunity.</text></comment>

Curious what alternate wheel designs might prove more resilient under the off-road conditions found on Mars.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m supposing that any sort of rubber or similar material would prove prohibitively expensive in terms of mass?</text></comment>
