As noted previously I have been attempting to coin a new unit of measure for the size of Endeavour; "The San Fernando Valley-sized crater" named after the region of Los Angeles that many JPL staff probably commute to and from. I think the rule is that it needs to appear in a press release or a news story for a unit of measure to achieve official UMSF sanctioned acceptance. Still hoping, fingers crossed. Use to live in the Valley. Picturing Oppy driving from Chatsworth to North Hollywood kinda puts in in perspective. |

Sigh... ***hate*** it when the image pipeline dries up like this, leaving us with only the itty-bitty "stamp" images to tease and torment us...
![]() ...but from those, it looks like "Escobar" could be a very interesting chunka rock... ![]() ![]() -------------------- |

The ones we had were so small that we were able to give names to each of the pixels. So don't you be going on about your torment, young man. Be glad for what you've got! -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

There wasn't a photographer on the Columbus trip? Oh crap. I got taken by the book of photos then. They seemed so real especially the one where the first mate was standing behind Christopher making horns over his head.

One thing missing in the comparison to the SF Valley is a million other rovers stuck in traffic.

Maybe it's because we're on the road again, but, this spot is just lovely...(Ejecta heaven)...
