Opportunity is not quite at Victoria yet, but on the horizon is a tantalising goal for the future- the big eroded crater to the south-east, the rim of which is already visible. This is the first 'large scale' topography of the mission so far. Wouldn't it be great if Opportunity could get to these hills and uncover their secrets?

Now what are the overall odds of Oppy Getting to The Big Crater called ustrax abyss #3?
I would say 10 % odds that Oppy will get there if they don't fall into Victoria ustrax abyss #2 |

I would say 10 % odds that Oppy will get there if they don't fall into Victoria ustrax abyss #2 I didn't see the footage your talking about, but on a similar theme, is anyone else a little nervous that new driving software is being implemented as the rover approaches the egde of the crater. I would think they might try it while the rover is navigating the plains not on the edge of a cliff. If Oppy falls to her doom into Victoria beacause of the new software, NASA will have wiped out all of the good will this mission has received and face a PR nightmare. |
