Default Mars Rover
We went to our Natural History Museum. They had a full-scale model of one of the Mars Rovers. Never knew it was as big as it is. Only seen Pics all these years with no sized references.

L & W seems to be about the size of a Smart Car. Wheels are about the size of a basketball. Pretty cool

I gave you its approximate size. So what on the scale of the pic? How about smaller?

Any photographer worth his weight would have put a person next to the rover especially if your whole topic is on the size of the thing. Everyone knows human proportions so it would be easy to compare. Your picture? Might as well be a 1/24th scale plastic model in diorama as we can't tell.
