That should end the dust on solar panels problem. Why the empty box idea? That sounds like a kid collecting things. If something of great interest is found, just map its location. It would just sit and wait. Isn't the next rover going to be powered by a nuclear device? That should end the dust on solar panels problem.

It looks like there's an IR transmitter on top of your monitor - do you use LCD shutter glasses? Also, is there anywhere on the NASA website or on the web that has colour 3-D mars photos (ie jpeg stereo - .jps or similar)? I've seen a few analglyph photos but haven't found any colour stereo 3d photos. I have a VR head mounted display and would love to see Mars in 3D - if only I can find some true colour stereo photos somewhere! Hi Scott
