OK - for a little diversion, give your best guess as to the arrival of Oppy at Victoria. Before we do that, perhaps some agreement as when we can say that event has happened.

Taking into account future retricted sols, nasty sand ripples, detours, computer glitches, jammed wheels and whatever else, I'd say around sol 1000

Well, I'm sure I was WAY off the mark from any earlier guesses I made on the arrival Sol. That was pre-Erebus, and I thought Oppy was going to drive by it with nary a wink (like she did to the smaller "ghost" craters).
So with that track record, I'm going to assume about an average of 20m/Sol towards Victoria (which seems a little aggressive?). So we've another ~2000m to go? So place my virtual ante on Sol 887. C'mon Oppy! |
