Is there anything in Martian soil that could be used to power a rover? I'm thinking that it would be pretty cool to have a rover scoop up a load of dirt, perform some kind of chemical reaction on it, hopefully by utilizing gasses in the atmosphere and/or maybe solar energy, and then converting that into electrical power to drive the rover. Whenever power got low, it would stop, dig some more, and then continue. <br /><br />Maybe it's just easier to send a nuclear rover instead... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
