Drive on Opportunity
http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/17/43...rive-off-earth
35.76km. Second only to Lunokhod 2 (37km). Note that taken about 9 years to do what the Apollo astronauts did in a few days. I'll take the Mark I eyeball on site when I can. |

Note the Apollo 17 astronauts were doing SCIENCE also. They could just do it about 1,000 times faster. The Apollo 17 astronauts weren't out joyriding. -- Greg D.

remote controlled geologists can be the best geogolists on earth, with super high def cameras it would be like they are there..... Wrong again. *You've gone from missing the point to deliberate lies about it. *Congratulations. the apollo stronauts were good astronauts, but not necessarily the best geologists on earth. with super high def video, and excellent robotics good science can be done, without worry abut human contamination |

You do realize they were not on Earth? And they sure were the BEST geologists on the moon? Hmmm, should they be Selenologists? |

You do realize they were not on Earth? And they sure were the BEST geologists on the moon? Hmmm, should they be Selenologists? Exactly. And I'd dare say that Jack Schmitt was an excellent geologist as well as the best Selenogist. Had Apollo lasted longer (and certainly if the AAP had occurred) the number of scientists on the Moon would have been much higher). And as it was, the Astronauts who did walk on the Moon were fairly well trained (given the time they had) as geologists. -- Greg D.

... And exactly how many samples did *all* of the Mars rovers return to earth? Zero. Even if you want to compare returned lunar samples, Apollo 11 returned 68 times the amount of material returned from all 3 Soviet sample return missions combined. And from a larger area. Unmanned rovers "doing science" is quite inferior to manned missions returning *many* samples to *far* better equipped earth based labs for detailed analyses. Jeff -- Greg D.
