QUOTE Squyres said: "You look around, and the next crater onward that's as big or bigger than Victoria is 25 kilometers (16 miles) away. ... This is it. Around us in every direction is a whole bunch of nothing." Not so. Even with no big craters/photo-ops there are outcrops downhill/downsection.

I was given to understand that the Twin Peaks, outcrops of a big degraded crater to the east, were on the order of 15-17 kilometers away. If most of that distance is relatively free of troublesome dunes, that distance seems achievable. May need to trust the rovers to drive beyond line of site from one position to the next, but assuming no major breakdowns I have no trouble seeing this as feasible.

QUOTE (algorimancer @ Sep 2 2006, 10:27 AM)  ...If most of that distance is relatively free of troublesome dunes... And that's the problem. The terrain between Victoria and the large crater is all etched terrain, with an awful lot of those troublesome dunes. Some of them look rather larger than what we saw between Endurance and here. Also, the large crater appears to be more heavily dust mantled than other features in this vicinity. Even if Oppy were to last long enough to get there, she may not be able to traverse the terrain around the big crater. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
