Yes...it is never safe to underestimate the reach of the evil Acme Corporation and its fiendishly persistent (though clumsy) field representatives...
Good point, though. I have no clue how stable these cliffs are. Come to that, we really don't have much of a clue as to the frequency & intensity of martian seismic events, though IIRC V2 didn't find much at all (V1's seismometer was inop, unless I got that backwards). The motion of Oppy shouldn't be enough to trigger anything by itself, though considering such effects in 0.38g combined with an utterly dry outcrop is kind of difficult...are ancient evaporites all that's holding this thing together besides compression? -------------------- 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.

I always think of the Acme Corporation when I see the Maas joke video of the RAT going into the rock and the rover spinning around. "If the Acme Corporation had developed the MERs." |
