Wow!!! Wow! Triple Wow!
Honestly...they said it might take two years to get there. So, I give it about a 30% chance of actually making it to a rim. I have no idea what condition is will be in at that time. The really interesting stuff is along the interior and north of the South rim. That would be shear heaven if Oppy could get there; but that almost doubles the trip length. I don't think that is possible. This is such a large crater that they need to pick a rim to go to before they start the trip. It might make a big difference as to the path they take. |
