@pomarede They should have got Schwalbe Marathons, I'm pretty sure they'd still be going strong

@Ann_Effes @pomarede What's the cost if the whole thing failed on day one?

@raven667 @pomarede I mean, that's fair enough, but if it had been intended to last longer that would be a problem so easily solved.
If It had torn up more sooner it really would have been bad... The way it could potentially just rip through it seems like it could have failed just with a tiny bit of bad luck even perhaps on day one.
@nazokiyoubinbou And if it was supposed to feed martian children they should have made it out of cheese. /s
Change the specifications of the mission, and any expert decision can be made to sound foolish. That's called "whataboutism."

Someone was a bit optimistic in their estimation of wheel durability

@grim_elsewhere @raven667 @pomarede How is it a "whataboutism" to say "what if the landscape had been even just a little bit rougher?" The landscape was not really fully known at the time it was landed.
Bear in mind that knowing it would hold up longer is only a valid argument for a time traveler.

@pomarede this is so sad!

@Kintarian @pomarede It's so far away.... It's gonna need AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Yeah yeah, got it, but this is still the best of the best? Wow, okay next excuse.
Seems a wheel from a lawnmower/shopping cart (made lighter with the most expensive metals/plastic) would last longer.
How about putting what was wasted in research for anti-magravity/ion/alternatives or just half/quarter/eighth of what CERN has spent.Common sense, its societies new superpower. Rockets don't even make sense worried about weight.

@GalbinusCaeli @nyrath @pomarede
Curiosity was designed to be able to drive even if the wheels are reduced to bare spokes, although not well: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Wares-Chancharoen/publication/381094274_A_REVIEW_OF_STRUCTURAL_AND_SYSTEM_DESIGN_OF_MARS_ROVER_CURIOSITY_AND_PERSEVERANCE/links/665bf2aa0b0d2845747c008c/A-REVIEW-OF-STRUCTURAL-AND-SYSTEM-DESIGN-OF-MARS-ROVER-CURIOSITY-AND-PERSEVERANCE.pdf .
And the damage to Curiosity's wheels is why Perseverance's have significantly thicker tires.
@michael_w_busch @GalbinusCaeli @nyrath @pomarede měli by mu odebrat technické osvědčení!

Ah! I stand corrected.
It didn't occur to me that they would optimize to a specific number of years, instead of "infinity". Obvious in hindsight.
