But 5% oxygen would be a lot! Earth only has 21% Oxygen!

Note I said less than 5%, and 21% is five times more than 5%. Also, Mars' atmosphere is a helluva lot thinner than Earth's...

RE: Mars Exploration

Thanks. I plan to do three in the end, although the model is still far from done (and then I still have to get it to show up in the game)

1)A scenery version(animated)
2)A drivable version with original wheels(invisible track)
3)A drivable version adapted to run on rail.
