    Hey thanks for sharing!

    This was a really neat read and I’m really happy now that the JPL team has a funny but ingenius plan🤭🤗

    It involves Curiosity finding a nice sharp rock and using it to rip out the insides of its own wheels.

    TL;DR:
    Imagine a wheel (with rims still attached) rolling towards you and a saw slices it in half.
