In about 700 sols or so, if the rovers last that long, they will have equaled the total operational time of both Viking landers. Pretty durned impressive for solar-powered wheeled vehicles... -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
