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 ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Gjøa Crater (what a strange name… Scandinavian for sure, no?) Gjøa was the name of the ship that Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen used to make the first voyage through the fabled Northwest Passage in the Canadian far north. There's still a town named after it up there where he wintered, 'Gjoa Haven'. A few years later he led the first successful expedition to the South Pole. So in short, it's named after a ship of discovery. ![]() Back to our scheduled programming... |
