The air is very very thin. It could not dig or brush or use a microscope or put the samples in an oven or chemical analyzers. Also we already have good overhead images from satellites. Planes have been proposed nevertheless.

- Jemaclus 12y agoSure, but I mean, images from 50 feet away are gonna be higher resolution than images from 2 miles away, yes? So it seems to me that if they could get some drones flying around, they could do some cool things like collect samples for a regular Mars Lander to process or get higher res photos or do some spectrometry or something over a wider range than a lander can do... right?
