    Dear @MarsCuriosity, How autonomous are you? When you get to Mars can you just go six-wheeling around as you please?

        Dear @neiltyson, while I can do short autonomous drives, longer sequences are sent by the team. Wonder if they'll let me do donuts?

        @neiltyson i'm suspicious of how quickly @MarsCuriosity answers tweets, do we have proof that s/he is where s/he says?

        @neiltyson @marscuriosity I think climbing a 5km mountain and taking photos characterises the mission as interplanetary tourism.
