Personally, I wouldve got 10 Aibo's, slapped some high gain antenna's on their backs and let them do the job - wouldve happened quicker too. With the rest of the money I would have done something real, like send a manned ship behind them - u know, to do real work, not spend billions on seeing how quick we can slap a pod on a planet, and then see how slow we can make our R/C car go.
