While 'The Storm' thread is a bit doom and gloom for the moment, I thought it might also be good to focus on all the fantastic highlights that have occurred during Opportunity's mission so far. For me, I think seeing those first images inside Eagle Crater and the obvious layered rocks that appeared to be just metres away. Then that first big view into Endurance Crater. That huge maw with those fantastic rippled dunes. Of course the drive along the Erebus Highway was incredible and Payson Passage. Then the drive towards the Beacon, and the first view into VC from Duck Bay. OK, so the entire mission has been great, but what are your highlights!? It's time for some positive thoughts Astro0
