Well then, the time is now! How are these things going to be
designed and tested?

Even flying them on vomit comet would be expensive for me. I just
saw on TV you can rent a flight for $70K. And then you need a
simulated surface for the robot to work on, but that's a big unknown
too.

Or would a computer simulation be a good first step? Dirt is a
strange thing to simulate though...
