I think it's time for a new thread for Opportunity after her Block Island Studies and time to think about where
the Mars Rover Drivers are going to send Her. Will they decide to head south of Block Island or go back to the western route they were on before? Where ever they go. I hope they find some more interesting surprises along the way. One Question I do have regarding the Rovers. Have they ever found any Diamonds or Gold along the way and if mars did have them. Would they be buried beneath the surface??? Something I've been wondering about for a while if any precious metals would be on Mars or Not? I would say yes. Time to start |

Yeah, I think you are right.
Speaking of craters, I saw that today's imaging plan has a sequence to take a pancam shot of a crater named "Gjoa". I believe it is this tiny little crater right beside the rover's position on sol 2014. After searching for its meaning I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gjøa. "Gjøa was the first vessel to transit the Northwest Passage. With a crew of six, Roald Amundsen traversed the passage in a three year journey, finishing in 1906." Really nice name selection, isn't it? |
