    Dear @MarsCuriosity, You're the size of an SUV, but with six wheels. What's the fastest that you can move?

        Dear @neiltyson, Top speed = 1.5 inches/sec on flat, hard ground. I'm not out to set Mars land speed records. I brake for science

        @neiltyson I bet the @MarsCuriosity SUV moves pretty fast on jet power, but much slower on ground. Lousy fuel mileage, and no cup holders.
