Can you tell us more, Bruce? Phil I think he was referring to the fact that this was going to be the site for the Mars 2001 lander. It might have been frustrating, but not if it landed where it did. I think Marie Curie, which would have flown on that mission, would have at least been able to explore the Eagle outcrops. And such discoveries might have allowed for MER to carry better-suited instrumentation (actually, probably not much, given the lack of time between the missions, unless one of the MERs were delayed. But for Phoneix, there is a much longer gap before the proposed drilling mission). -------------------- |
