Get your ass to Mars, they said. What they didn"t say, was that once there, you"d become the hero Mars deserves, but not the one it needs right now.Because a new Mars Rover prototype has been revealed, and it looks like something Lucius Fox might have built for Batman. It wasn"t built by Lucius Fox for Batman because neither of those things exist.It was built instead by Parker Brothers Concepts (who, incidentally, previously built a Tumbler for Gumball), working out of Florida, and is a concept car to get people excited about NASA"s planned journey to Mars.NASA experts helped influence the design, though, and the whole thing was commissioned by the Kennedy Space Centre. The concept utilises a 700-volt battery powered by solar panels (natch), running an electric motor. There"s a separation in the middle: the front allows for scouting and is equipped with a radio and actual sat nav.
