I was just watching a youtube video of Toyota's new violin playing robot and subsequently was watching an episode of "Mars Rising" and considered the possibility of using highly dexterous robots on the surface and keeping the humans in Martian orbit.  This would eliminate the risks of landing and return to orbit, but would allow nearly instantaneous interaction with the happenings on the surface.

Maybe this has already been considered, but I've never heard it mentioned before.

Any thoughts?

Hello, I'm looking to get a copy of the Discovery Channel show "Surviving Mars" about the Mars Arctic Research Station that aired several years ago.  I've already checked with the Discovery Store, and they don't offer it (confirmed via email), and it's not scheduled for replay on TV anytime soon.

If anyone knows where I can get a copy, please let me know.

Thanks.
