So on the multiple rover idea, do we want to land a single lander and then have them all head out, or do we pop open our entry vehicle ala MERV and scatter them over a wider area?
The air-bag landing is a proven technology; shall we use it?
Just talk. That's a wrap.

I chewed on this a bit. Not only do we need to be able to warm things, we neeble to cool things as well. What about instead of vacuum proofing, we put everything in a sealed low pressure air environment? Harden against radiation as required.
