NASA Innovation Helicopter and Rover

Very nice. By the way, what department do you work at? My younger brother had been working for NASA since 2005. He's a mechanical engineer. I saw some pictures of the Mars rover with gold-plated rims which they say would help in minimizing radiation (I think those engineers just wanted some bling).

Check the pictures here:

Yep, that SEV is very bling. Too bad the Constellation program is shelved right now.

I actually don't work for NASA. The group I am working with is called ACES and up until recently were working on the Orion craft.

Very cool pics! This is the one I got once when they brought it out for testing.
