craigdritchie Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 Interesting news today as BRP, manufacturer of Evinrude outboards and Sea-Doo boats and PWCs, announced it has been contracted to develop exploration vehicles for future space missions to Mars and the moon. BRP's technology development centre at the University of Sherbrooke has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to develop the chassis and propulsion system for the rover vehicles. Incredibly cool to think that some development of E-TEC technology could wind up on another planet! I guess guys who think Evinrude's are "out of this world" might really be onto something. More.
Fisherman Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 Somehow I can't picture anyone wanting to pollute Mars or Uranus with an Etec.
HTHM Posted April 7, 2011 Report Posted April 7, 2011 Somehow I can't picture anyone wanting to pollute Mars or Uranus with an Etec. The way i hear it, Uranus is polluted pretty bad as it is....
ah_long Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 Somehow I can't picture anyone wanting to pollute Mars or Uranus with an Etec. I'm sure Etec would help you push the harmful emissions out of Uranus
bucktail Posted April 8, 2011 Report Posted April 8, 2011 That is cool! Just my buddies Etec wont run when the weather hits freezeing, isnt Mars avg temp -100 or so? They will have to launch a yamaha powered rover to tow it back when it gets cold like I always have to!
