Hi all,

Like every morning, I've just checked the latest info on the pancam web looking for the current and immediate future imaging plan and ...
Stay tuned and start Alt-F5'ing the exploratorium page at 19:35 UTC or so because today might be the day. Sol 1291 is a driving sol!

Not going to make a huge deal out of it... many moving and powerful words will be written elsewhere today about both the event itself and the anniversary... but I think it will be very fitting, in a way, if Oppy drives into VC today, carrying with her a small piece of one of the Twin Towers, as described in Steve's excellent book.

Hope no-one minds me pointing that out, but I thought we should mark the anniversary in some way.




Right, go get 'em Oppy! We're with you! smile.gif

Wow... I did not know that, Stu - 'twould indeed be most fitting. Thanks for noting this little known (probably) fact.

The RAT WTC memorial was discussed at length on NASA TV by the RAT team in 2004, so I'm not sure one could consider it a little-known fact. wink.gif

The builder of the RAT was Honeybee Robotics -- their offices are just a few blocks from the WTC site.
