Katie is indeed nothing but a "pretty" evening news autocue reader. She'll always be in 3rd place too in the ratings. CBS also had a guy on that had lost a child at the Columbine shooting, and before you knew it he was spouting off about how Abortion was bad, sheesh !. |

Maybe they are taking a picture of the tracks now, for comparision after solar conjunction, if Oppy is indeed parked at THE conjuction position for the next 3 or 4 weeks. |

The Rover drivers know what they are doing. Remember even the tilt paramter of say 30 degrees will stop the rover dead in its tracks. Cabo Verde is not a 90 degree drop off by any means, infact I don't think any of the cliffs are, they all seem to have a slope then a drop. They also have several other s/w parameters to stop a rover driving over a cliff. |

I too thought it was a huge cliff, and was a bit dissapointed when it turned out to be a few cm tall. Endurance made up for that though, and now we have Victoria and maybe later some part of Big Crater and its rim. |

My understanding is the dark streaks are where dust has been removed from the surface. We would want Oppy to have that done to her of course, but I think that only happens during the Martian summer, and we are in winter at the moment. |

I wonder if they will change thier minds and drive to the Beacon to do the panorama, seems a better spot to me being the highest point, and it also sticks out into the crater more than Verde. |

Words fails me so I'll just post a link... http://nasa.exploratorium.edu/mars/opportu...EKP2389R1M1.JPG We need some sunlight on that face. Look at all the layering. Look at the huge rocks. |

The crater is quoted as being 230 feet deep ? Those cliffs look about just less than half the depth, 100 feet, 33m, by my rough guestimating.............. |
