Can anyone say where spirit is and where we're going? I'm feeling lost.

We're very close to the summit, aren't we? They are allowing us all to be very confused!
Can anyone match up the picture in post 241 in the "Moving on" thread ( http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...opic=653&st=240 ) with the map in post 88 in the current thread? http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.p...wtopic=44&st=75 |

No - we're still a long way from the summit - it's a common optical illusion that the summit is closer than you think> There's a good half km to the summit from here
If you look at Alans map two posts up - we're about where the 1 of 410 is written Doug |

I compared two panoramas taken one week apart with NavCam toward East (should be Tennessee valley and hills behind):
 I found huge differences (see marks), suggesting strong advance in this direction... can someone give updated position Map? Thanks! Marco -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -

Thanks! Marco  I get the sense that they are going to go look at the facing slope of that mesa-like formation straight ahead. I mentioned previously that it appears to show cross-bedded layering -- an irresistable target for sedimentary geologists. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Perfect...
 But Spirit is headed in opposite direction of the visible area, it is en route to summit 02 or even pass it and start descending towards the previous Lookout Point: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v352/ustrax/uapathb.jpg -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

According to the latest post by ObsessedWithWorlds in the Directors Update forum:
"On Spirit it’s sol 448 and she’s sitting about 300 meters below the summit of Husband Hill." I wonder if the true summit is seen on the thin strip of distant ridge just visable over the left shoulder of the "summit" in the previous image. |

OK, I admit... I was too optimistic! I was based on the apparent alignment of the "summit" with distant hills, but looking also other images, is claer that real horizon (extreme right of following mosaic) still well below this summit, so a big way ahead!
 Dough, when you talk about "EVA with Apollo 14" are you referring to a particular episode? I missed it... -------------------- I always think before posting! - Marco -
