ROBOTS

Well, I real a article about robots on Mars, these have highest hardwardte software and cicuitry, they were designed to do what field geologists would do survey terrain, analyze rocks and take pictures. Therefore they have good technologies; for example, they have eyes wich twenty - twenty stereoscopic vision, arms and they can touch things with highest temperature in Mars that is really interesting and not only have a a lot of technologyes, they have a higher knowleghe about mars. I have  many doubts, one of them  is I dont know if this kind of technology is true because in the magazine gave  a lot of descripcion about eyes, armas, feet and technology that  I cant really imagine, and these robots on Mars have a cost that is so expensive almost 900 millions of dollars. I think USA should use this money not for robots in Mars on the contrary this money should be use to reduce the poverty and pollution in there.
