QUOTE I even said trying was silly. I remember your skepticism, Doug. It must be nice to admit you're wrong in this context  What a great day! A new mission really does begin here. |

Fredk, any chance your mystery men will make an appearance in this latest Navcam pan?

Today is bill paying day for me. Which I do online. Yet all I can do is stare at the desktop image of Odyssey and the inner plains of Endeavour.
Just want to fall into the image, ruffle the regolith with my fingers and bound around the boulders with the far rim in the backgound! Cannot wait for the MI images. Suspect Oppy is still in the blueberry fields, but with new stuff interlaced on the plain. And those bright veins! But really want Opportunity to go for the phyllosilicates as soon as possible. Then go for context. Just wonderful (and guess I better do my bills ... or NO online access to Mars anymore)! Craig |

Thank-you for the continuing ride Opportunity, JPL, and NASA.
From the immediate payoff of layered rock at landing, to the three (or more) successive advances to greater places - it has taken confidence, perseverance, and just plain guts to point to a new flag and drive the wheels off this rover. And thanks to everyone here on the board. Keep'em images flying. - now, what is that white streak out there? |

QUOTE (Sunspot @ Aug 10 2011, 02:54 AM) Interesting feature...there is a thin line of very bright material in this navcam view, bottom left ... Finally, she has her feet on some new geology. I'd say those veins look like target # (Edit: Come to think of it, since the rock containing the veins is also brand new, I guess it would be target #1.) -------------------- ...Tom

Finally home from work, and have reviewed the thread.
Doug, do you have a PayPal link for the swear jar? Actually, perhaps a bank wire transfer would be more suitable for THAT amount of money. Wow. -------------------- 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.

Here's my take on the sol 2681 L2 pancam images. I've combined L2/R2 imagery in a central frame to mask the missing data.

Thanks to all the engineers and scientists who's genius, creativity and late nights have made this possible. MER has been a mission that just keeps giving! It is amazing to contemplate that just as this 90 day journey has stretched to many years, so will the data gathered drive academic research for decades and inspire a whole new generation of scientists and planetary explorers...
A special thank you to Steve Squyres and Jim Bell - your decision to open up the images to all of us in the "cheap seats" has led to an incredible sense of bonding with the exploits of these robots as they travel. This outreach decision has fueled countless teachable moments amongst students, friends and family, it has fostered a community who cares about science and what is possible, it has spawned new friendships amongst us enthusiasts and it has launched careers. By inspiring us and igniting our imaginations, you have profoundly changed this world for the better. Your openness and generosity have set a high bar for other missions, and you deserve the accolades you have been given. Who could imagine that the mainstream press would be using adjectives such as "plucky" or "hard working" to describe machines quietly making their way a few meters per day on a planet millions of miles away? Such words reflect the deep connection people have felt to MER, and that attachment is a direct result of your decision to let us ride along and see what you see, every sol of the way. Thank you. -------------------- Lyford Rome
