The rovers on Mars keep breaking. Curiosity has been there a couple years, but hasn't traveled far and we can't rely on it being the only one there since it'll break eventually too. This will be, as far as I know, the first time we have two functional rovers on mars.

I suppose, it's also receive-only, for the rover. The advantage is that it is omnidirectional.

It has another direct communication antenna. That one is directional (needs to be pointed), but can receive and upload, and can do up to 3kbit/s.

Then there is the fastest one, 2 megabits, but only works with martian satellites (MRO for example)

Honestly think the main reason for cost is because it's boing selling them to govt customers. Rad hardening isn't too difficult. They still have to do a lot on the software side to catch all the inevitable bitflips from cosmic rays. Even hardened aviation chips on Earth do it.

The energy budget is so tight they need keep everything to the minimum, more cpu/ram/storage is just wasted energy. The power source can't sustain the onboard computer even while the rover is doing nothing else so it needs to turn off for hours at a time to let the batteries charge.
Batteries are shit like that too, you don't want to drain them too much, it wrecks their lifespan.

Even if that ever happened, still, the pathogen would have been severely weakened thanks to millions of years of harsh radiation exposure, that added to the fact that any martian microbial ayys would be primitive in comparison, so the damage they could cause would be insignificant and in return they would be destroyed by our inmune system in no time; I would say they pose no threat at all.

I love this. In all honesty I never had the fetish for Mars but I was always interested in Venus. Apparently it was once like earth until the greenhouse effect got out of control and now it’s a hellish landscape. A cool fact is that earth will eventually resemble Venus many billions of years into the future. Also, the origins of our planet is interesting too, it was once so hostile to life and now it’s full of it. Planets are great to learn about because you realize how amazing the universe is.

I really like thinking about the past. Over 2 thousand years ago there were no Christianity or Jesus, over 10 thousand years ago there were no Judaism and the first civilizations were to emerge. 500 thousand years ago humans had half the brain volume of Homo sapiens and 4 million years ago we were barely different from other apes. Going back in time 450 million years the first Tetrapods and plants started colonizing the land and 1 billion years ago only Bacteria, Archea and single-cellular Eucaryota were living in the ocean. Earth is 4.5 billion years old, the visible universe is 13.6 billion years old.
Your religion seems so small compared to it - it is only 1.47 * 10^-7 of all this time. I understand why some of you like to pretend Earth is only 6 thousand years, if you didn't do that you would quickly realize how unimportant and small it is compared to other religions or events in the natural history.

Considering they could only confirm it was alive for about 2 minutes after landing, how did they know it was a "soft" landing? If it came in hard and damaged it's batteries or some other power control, it could have functioned long enough to say it made it before dying.

Can't say a lot from these pictures but this landing spot was chosen for the carbonate bearing rocks identified by MRO. So It's likely altered olivine bearing rocks and the phenocrysts have been serpentinized or turned to talk and weathered away giving it that pitted appearance.
