"Hey folks! I’m on-duty with Opportunity this week and it’s going to be pretty exciting. We are in the process of driving the rover over to the wall of Cape Verde to study the layers of rocks there in much greater detail. I will be posting updates all week with the spectacular new pictures that we should be receiving. Stay tuned, it’s going to be a pretty cool week!"
Thanks for the update Ryan : http://martianchronicles.wordpress.com/200...ng-to-the-cape/ I wonder how close they'll get. I think no closer than the height projected from it's base ( i.e. 45 degrees ) |

Does this mean the quest to get a better look at the cape is over? It looks like it, i mean if u look at the situation right now it is reasonable to think that driving away from the Cape might be a good idea. Besides, apart from spectacular imagery potential, i am begining to think this quest for te Cape is as foolish as a guy trying to fly (apologies for those who were looking forward to seeing the Cape ) -------------------- |
