I don't know. Gravity on the planet this GSV is surveying may be weaker than
on the Earth.

OK, well you've got me there. How about a super high-strength alloy? :-)

Just as a side note, I've posted the .DAT file for the chassis in the .Ideas

The model is by far incomplete, but gives some idea of what was running around
between my ears when the model was being made.
