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.
Could we seal the rover into a ball, like a hamster? That would protect it from dust. It could have function to vibrate (shaking off dust) then open a door to take clear pictures. Then close up and protect from the dust again. This is pure brainstorm.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
