Now yes - while it's fair to say we have arrived at the rim of Vic - the rule were that the 'arrival' date would be the sol at which the rover arrives at the point from which the mother-of-all-pans is taken... so we're not there yet. (i.e. We'll probably take photos when we arrive in Valencia on Sat PM - but personally, I wont feel I've arrived till the following morning when I have a look out the window....and you're right Fred - it's that FIRST big MOAP that is the important one )
But that doesn't mean we can't have a new thread Doug |

Hopefully not OT, but CNN has just picked up on Oppy's arrival at Victoria...with any luck, we'll see some renewed major media coverage soon! I hope they have a little snippet that goes something like, "Yes, this is in fact the same Opportunity rover you heard about 2 years ago." Fredk - thank you for your Mystery Man mosaic. It really does help show just how big this crater is. |
