Lest anyone think this is far away... a six-month design
study on needed technologies and possibilities for these
rovers will start next month at Stanford.  The core
lectures (with speakers from Ames, JPL, etc) will probably
be available on videotape if anyone is interested.

The organizers are advertising heavily in places that
undergrad engineers hang out.  I take this as an
encouraging sign that they are trying to get a 
new generation interested in working on the space
program.
