LOL, yes. It looks a little more ordinary from the side, but that's never stopped anyone before.

Sol 405 Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Tight Spot
QUOTE The autonomous navigation software could not find a safe path toward the rover's goal on Sol 404, so ended up in a configuration that prevented uplink of the Sol 405 command sequences directly to the high-gain antenna from Earth. Without new instructions, the rover executed the runout sequences that are loaded with every set of commands, just in case the new sequences are not received. This was only the sixth execution of autonav during a drive, so the software parameters were set conservatively, preventing the rover from trying to back up and drive around the rocks that it considered hazardous. As more experience is gained in driving with autonav, the rover will be allowed to get itself out of such tight spots. For now, the rover is safe and the Sol 406 plan includes another drive with autonav. LINK to the USGS report. |

Drive on sol 406, duration = ~2.5 hours, hopefully the AutoNav had a better day
EDIT: Possibly pass the 3km marker? |

Here's a rough half-pan in circular format showing our location on sol 406.
