Only some few days now, and Oppy has been roving for 6 years on mars: It has still been a fantastic journey, even before start.

Here is an idea, which I had since Opportunity arrived at Victoria. What would be if the breaks of Oppy didn't work then?
Similiarities to some science fiction films are intended

( Or: "What do mars rovers dreaming of at night?")

Best regards, and keep on rolling:

That's a lovely first posting, thx!

And, yes, Oppy phones home almost every day...

Oh, I hadn't thought of this .. but yes, Oppy phones home . And I hope she will do this a long time from now. But as we all know, she lives on borrowed time...

Looks like the MER team had a great http://img162.yfrog.com/i/img0472f.jpg/

Congratulations to everyone on the MER team.
