This event deserves its own thread.
To quote the illustrious Dr. King -- "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we're free at last! So, how much y'all want to bet we'll stay here for a few sols, looking very carefully at the tracks and waiting for the MER Team to figure out how to proceed from here? -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

Surely does deserve a new thread. Otherwise people looking at the front page are just going to see the old "Stuck" thread and might miss the news.
People in the other thread weren't very happy with the suggestions to go examine the trench, but in my opinion they have to do that. There should be no fear in doing 180 degrees now and sticking the IDD in the trench for a few sols. Actaully I am amazed they never took the IDD out during the time Oppy was stuck in the dune. -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen

I (for one) absolutely agree they must go back and bring all the instrumentation to bear on the trenches to make sure they understand exactly why it embedded itself. As far as taking the IDD out while still in the trench I think they were worried about power and driving (or churning) was the priority. They had to go back to deep sleep mode over the past few days because the increasing tau is dropping the amount of power being generated. |
