Which is a good idea on there part, but they won't get any samples of rock or anything just a better view. They would get more insight on the ground conditions though which is a start. NASA is working on they're machines so they could last longer on the surface. Also they might have to send them on a manned mission even though there are risks it could be worth it in the end.
