It seems about the right time to start a new thread as we have now turned East to Endeavour.
Hope no one minds... -------------------- -- Robin

I asked Scott Maxwell the following question on his blog:
http://marsandme.blogspot.com/ I found Opportunity's rate of progress around SOL 400 amazing. I have heard rumours that Opportunity will soon reach easy driving country again. If so then will we be at Endeavour crater sooner than we all expect? Scott's answer was: We will indeed reach a nice flat zone in another kilometer or so. Once we're there, the terrain will again support longer drives, and we're looking into techniques to do those safely with the current hardware. |

I can see that speed limit. Driving on meridiani planum is difficult, so maybe some signs may help our brave rover drives. -------------------- Need more input ...
