I'll drink to that. This news makes me proud to be a human being. It's simply inspiring. It doesn't matter if Opportunity ultimately makes it there - what matters is that the attempt is made.
Okay, yes - actually getting there would be fantastic, too. But who knows what we might find along the way? |

Okay, yes - actually getting there would be fantastic, too. But who knows what we might find along the way? Precisely...that is why I find that Ithaca poem so inspiring...so terribly fitting for this crazy, C-R-A-Z-Y odyssey... And proud...yes...we're sharing the same view...just sent some words to our Master and Commander that reflect that feeling: "A whole new adventure ahead, so many things to see, explore and learn about... So many miles of amazement, terrestrial dream and martian reality... From deserts to mountains, from drama to epic achievements, from here to there, from question to answer... You, your team, Spirit and Opportunity, make me so proud of mankind!" Doug...wouldn't it be possible to, somehow, gather the work done by some guys here regarding possible paths to Ith...sorry...Endeavour, and merge in a single thread? -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
