Going To Mogollon..., ...and points South Options

[Bill Harris]

It was already said that those structures seen on previous hazcam pics (well, in all sort of cameras and filters...) were delicate.

But what about these ones? It looks like the smallest touch could broke them.

PS: It's time to open a new thread, don't you think so?

Good idea. That topic was "tired" and had the cord showing.

Delicate, to be sure. One thing I've noticed is that the "ledge-forming" rocks are a layer and extend to the right and left of where we camped out. I wonder if that feature is related to the bluff at Mogollon Rim?

We need to check out the "mobile dust" at that site and see if there has been more movement during the stopover.

I hate contributing more negative waves to the discussion, but with all the recent hubbub about the NASA budget proposal, would funding for MER get cut if Oppy's IDD were to go out? I suppose a bean counter might think that with Oppy's capability impaired, it should get less resources, if not shut down?

No doubt everyone on the MER team would fight that kind of decision tooth and nail...
