   Pretty feasible, I'd say.  After all, they just used aerobraking at   
   Titan to facilitate a titan atmosphere probe.

   I hope so, I'd like to see more of those spectacular landscapes Huygens   
   (briefly) provided.  But I'd like to see dirigibles, helicopters,   
   autogyros, and planes considered for the mission as well, just to make   
   sure we use whichever one performs best.   
      
   I'd also like to see a roving balloon or aeroplane on Mars.  Pictures of   
   the side walls of Valles Marineris, from inside the valles!  36 Views of   
   Mount Olympus!
