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

The fluffy-dust surface material the snared Oppy is indeed unusual. Light and porous, yet cohesive enough to stick to the wheel's treads and then break off leaving tread flakes. And recall how much the disturbed material darkened in just a few days, suggesting that it is reactive.
Interesting stuff and worth a second look, even if to characterize it so that it can be avoided. --Bill -------------------- |
