$5 says that MGS has imaged it by now - we just dont have it in the public domain yet. Mike Malin likes to hide his little picture away for as long as he can get away with sad.gif Where are the images showing the rovers on the move that he promised etc etc sad.gif

Victoria looks like a BEAUTY smile.gif And the Heatshield as well.

At 100m a day, every other day, that 3 miles is an equiv of about 100 sols of driving - for 6 months, Opportunity has been the rover that was scared to go too far from home. Now it's middle aged - it's getting a mid life crisis and sports-car performance to match smile.gif
