QUOTE (djellison @ May 18 2005, 09:35 AM) I'm going to be brave, and out of character is predicting ahead of most people - and say that oppy will be up and out of the trench on onto the surface properly by Sol 475 Doug Bob, I bid one dollar! Oh...wait. Okay, Sol 474. |

Oppy might be out of the trench after the 2nd 8m wheel turn, which would make all of us (except mike) look like extremely pathetic pessimists
