I can only say, besides "Greetings", that i shall be happy if the first image showing ULTREYA in full view shows as just a big slab of blur and pasted rocks, generated by evil NASA-computers! THEN you know something's there that i'd be interested in

I think it is a given that they will check out Homeplate. Nowhere do they say they will not and it has been a clear 'major' target for some time. Steve's update is just not clear on the point that they are choosing between 'minor' landforms to examine on the way to Homeplate. Heck, if all they did was check out El Dorado and then head to McCool hill, they'd be there well before winter set in.

Yes - I think the decision between El-D and the other target is simply which to visit BEFORE going to HP, and that there isnt really time to visit both as they are in different directions.

Doug Any opinions around where should Spirit be headed? My vote goes to El Dorado... Look at all the outcrop at disposal in such, at least looks like, easy path... The outcrops on the other target seems a bit more difficult to reach... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"

Is there actually anyone here in favor of the 'other' target?

Well...ustrax bows to their memory and feels very small knowing that, somehow, life made his terrestrial path cross on another planet the path of heroes. I told Steve in a kind of joking way that I was going back to studies on a different area from the one I've followed, and now that is a promise.

my person favorite shot so far of the Ultreya dust spilling over the ridge
and this closeup shot of a little drift of Ultreya (oop um, el Dorado) sand presumably in the wind shadow of Comanche, where the eddies pile it up. This is one really illustrative case that the dark sands (dust) is much finer than the base sands... |

Hi all,
I finally recovered from a computer crash having kept me busy installing new hardware and a new image processing environment for the last couple of weeks ... (fortunately, I could recover most of my data from backups ...) So here is the first image rendered on the new equipment: ... my color interpretation of one of Spirit's latest "Eldorado"- Navcam-views
