    I’m still confused about when there was ever a helicopter vs. just a rover

      To test the concept, now they know that it works they can come up with a dedicated mission that can cover a lot more ground - the rovers are slllloooowwwwwwww.

        Even just for finding the best path for a rover, interesting places for a rover to go, you can make much better use of the extremely limited speed of a rover
