I dont believe that the rovers themselves didnt cost 400million but
that was the entire mission budget. As far as i know the current
numbers in the Nasa budget are for development of the rover hardware
only?...I could be wrong.
Also, i was under the impression that the fuel need for a "soft" moon
landing (one that doesnt "bounce" to a stop) and a martian mission
were relatively the same. In that you need fuel to slow down and
land on the moon where as at Mars you can aerobrake and save a good
deal of braking fuel. The Delta-V for Lunar and Mars missions
appears to be pretty close...wouldnt that meant the same amount of
fuel?


I'm still looking for a site where they're listing just what cost what
in the Mars Rover missions, from R&D to building to launching to oper-
ating.

Can anyone help me and provide a site link, because I can't find any.
NASA's own Mars Rover site seems to contain no information about the
costs, let alone details.


Did you actually ever bother to read the presskit at:


"http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/press_kits/merlandings.pdf"?


If you did, you'd have your answer.
