Soon worries about drifts and dunes will be ancient memories.

QUOTE (Tesheiner @ Apr 5 2010, 02:49 PM)  I can see that speed limit.  Driving on meridiani planum is difficult, so maybe some signs may help our brave rover drives.

From here the view of the jpeg artifacts is among the best in the Solar System.

I think we are all seeing the effects of a missing daily fix of pictures.

Some interesting stuff from http://twitter.com/marsroverdriver
"Driving went uncommonly smoothly today. That usually means I made a huge mistake somewhere." "Tomorrow we do a nifty experiment that effectively uses Opportunity's mobility system as a soil-property sensor." "Nothing particularly nearby... so I think stops will be less frequent for a while." "Since we're hopping ripples (part of experiment), we check slip 2x as often in this drive. If we get stuck, it won't be bad. " -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)

Oh my God. They're letting Maxwell use her as a dune buggy!!!
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
