• Ah the part time scientists. I met them on the 28c3 in Berlin in 2011(very fiendly and cool germans). They did a very impressive lecture on this thing and the project itself.
  
  Still have a Tshirt of the guys
  
  Here are two pictures of the rover in 2011. Changed a little bit

• Dear Karsten,
  
  If you have a moment, do you think you could print off an extra copy for us to tweak for Mars in 2018, just in case?
  
  Thanks, bud! You're the best!
