Paraphrasing Squyres :
QUOTE Where to now? Well, we've exhausted the easy places - time to do something hard Bold, difficult, maybe impossible. To the SE of this at a distance of 12km, 7 miles is an enormous crater - we're going to head of towards it. I think it could take a couple of years. We think we can drive a lot faster than we have in the past. We're rolling the dice in a sense - we think it's the right direction to go anyway. Alfred McEwen - QUOTE October 10th - new HiRISE image to map the gap between the big crater and Victoria Rui.... you have clearance to explode. |
