Oh geeze, Snail... Not once ounce of science in the Mars Rover???

Not what I said. You spoke of the journey, not the contents of the Rover and the critical word is proved. Newtonian mechanics is good enough to get to Mars; "disproved" doesn't mean "doesn't work".

Sorry Dr Mather but it might not work quite so well for Mercury and if your sat nav didn't take relativity into consideration you might find yourself getting quite lost.

I have no inetention of confusing it with quantum mechanics.
