New status report from Squyres on Spirit and Oppy.

It looks as though she is headed for the summit; I'll bet we do make the summit, expecially since there are a couple of rock climbers on the MER staff. I look at reaching the summit as secondary to the science we can do: we'll visit it "because it's there", we can make some wonderful panoramas, but I'd rather see new rocks and geomorph. I'm looking forward to visiting the ledges and the dark area and Home Plate to the south of the summit.
