900 kg coincidence

The mars curiosity rover has a mass of 899 kg. It would seem the skycrane could also land a 900kg Viking 23 on mars. Viking? Another coincidence?

This is a methane - electric hybrid.

Front wheels are electric with a range of 100 Km at 50 km/h.

Rear wheels are methane with a range of 500 Km at 100 km/h.

I'm not so sure about rock clearance? and it only seats two. We can fix those things, right?
