How to Hack NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover - Kinda

This is an interesting story that looks at what it would take to hack the mars rover. 

In other words, a state-backed actor could maybe take over NASA's planetary crawler, but the script kiddies are pretty much SOL here. We are exceedingly unlikely to see "We Are Legion" transmitted by Curiosity as its last act before driving off a cliff while IRC explodes with lulz.

With that said, let's hack the rover! 

In the end the article concludes that unless you sneak into NASA HQ and use their equipment the venture is cost prohibitive.  Of coures, if you had unlimited resources, a buttload of Xena tapes and Hot Pockets you might come close.
