QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Oct 22 2008, 09:51 AM)  . Based on yesterday and today's imaging plan I expect they'll keep the current SW (actually WSW) heading. I'm still confused by this direction. Hope we get some more info from the MER team soon. |

The rest of us have driver's licenses, Stu has a poetic license.
 So will it be the West Spur Route by Mike, or Rui's Route (west, then south)? Only time will tell. -------------------- My Grandpa goes to Mars every day and all I get are these lousy T-shirts!

You're right Shaka, and I just renewed my poetic license too. Cost a small fortune, and I had to have a new photo taken, but it's good through 2012 now, so it should see me through MSL's first few years of driving.

Ah, he's too damn modest.
Stu has an unlimited poetic license from many countries, and the most important of these is the Country Of The Blind; he is their only light, and rightly treasured.

Sigh, just that much more distance to travel in the right direction.

QUOTE (jamescanvin @ Oct 22 2008, 04:04 PM) Another sol, another 127m WSW... It looks like it might have been longer, except the rover took a little detour (or zig-zag) in the middle of the drive. I'd love to know why, but for that we must wait... At least it looks like she drove until late into the afternoon. |
