...Great list, Pyro. I would actually like to trim it down into about half a dozen with the details as requirements of separate teams. We will need to come up with some guiding principles to help guide our decision making....

Okie-dokie! First the brainstorming!
     
Visually, conceptually, what do y'all want? I could go with two rovers on one lander, if they're small enough. We can dumb down the rovers and have the lander be the brains. But a moving lander is gonna quadruple the weight of everything, and multiple the size of the descent rocket motor by 10 or 20!!! Maybe. Pros and cons to everything. Y'all come to a consensus and THEN we'll break the idea down into a WBS and into Systems that teams can work on.
