| dorsetfreelander Member Since: 20 Jul 2013 Location: Dorset Posts: 4363      | Just think, a Freelander on the comet would weigh only 6 ounces (the mass would be the same so no difference in 0-60 performance if you take some air). I wonder what traction setting would be best? | ||

| pab Member Since: 28 Aug 2012 Location: Now in Mid-Wales Posts: 2007      | I suspect there would be a huge difference in the 0-60 time, as with only 6oz on the wheels you'd just sit there with the wheels spinning uselessly!

| dorsetfreelander Member Since: 20 Jul 2013 Location: Dorset Posts: 4363      | Don't forget that with no air resistance the top speed should be higher although I understand that the escape velocity from the surface is only 0.5 metres/sec so it would be a bit of a one way trip. Hill descent control would be interesting though. | ||

| dorsetfreelander Member Since: 20 Jul 2013 Location: Dorset Posts: 4363      | Not sure I heard this properly on the radio but did they say that a Philae Lander was on the comet? What sort of Freelander is that? | ||
