Martian Windsurfer - Adventure Rides and Theater Quality Videos

The Mars Windsurfer Animation updated, as first presented at the 2003 Mars Society Conference. The Windsurfer uses a Drogue Parachute that is attached to a balloon to pull a surface rover across the Martian Terrain for hundreds of kilometers.

In a Mars Society 2005 presentation the original author suggests that it to be used as one of a host of inexpensive robotic missions to make a HD Imax Theater Quality Video From Mars" that also can be used as a documentary, imbedded in video games, or amusement park rides such as ones at Disneyland all supported mostly by a commercial robotic mission to Mars.
