Only some few days now, and Oppy has been roving for 6 years on mars: It has still been a fantastic journey, even before start.

Here is an idea, which I had since Opportunity arrived at Victoria. What would be if the breaks of Oppy didn't work then?
Similiarities to some science fiction films are intended biggrin.gif

( Or: "What do mars rovers dreaming of at night?")

Best regards, and keep on rolling: wheel.gif wheel.gif wheel.gif wheel.gif wheel.gif wheel.gif

Oh, I hadn't thought of this .. but yes, Oppy phones home rolleyes.gif . And I hope she will do this a long time from now. But as we all know, she lives on borrowed time...

Happy Birthday Opportunity! smile.gif
Looks like the MER team had a great party

Stu and I produced a special set of posters, wallpapers and appropriate words to mark the milestone for both Rovers.
Still available here.

Congratulations to everyone on the MER team.
