Not sure if I support a Meridiani revisit at this point. Given that we are slowly coming to the realization that Mars may have far more mineralogical complexity than previously thought, seems that MSL's range capability would be best utilized in an area that has as many boundaries between different mineralogical regions as we can find, combined with favorable EDL conditions.
Gotta admit that the possibilty of examing Martian clays is exciting, though; their very existence sets the mind to reeling! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
