NASA says this can be done in 1,000 days from the word "go".
Is there any good reason it needs to be this anthropomorphic?
I can see the head, torso, and arms...but having it actually walk around
on legs rather than using wheels? The legs would have to be automated
somehow because of the time lag in communicating with it to prevent it
from falling over.

Legs have certain advantages, but I'd have thought four (or more!) would
be better.
