Drive a Rover at the Mars Stations! (Planetary Society)

OK, this is fun and, for the sake of science, try it! Mars Stations are
earth-bound replicas designed to give everyone the experience of
exploring an unknown world through the eyes of a robotic rover. The
Planetary Society and LEGO Company have teamed together to establish a
network of Mars Stations around the world. Each station contains a LEGOŽ
rover equipped with a Web camera that you can drive over the Internet!
The page updates constantly to reflect the current condition of the
Rover. Information about other Red Rover programs, contests, etc can be
found at http://redrovergoestomars.org/rrgtm.html for more about
