QUOTE (tedstryk @ Dec 13 2004, 05:07 PM) Perhaps for "Before and After" coverage showing the wheel tracks in the crater. At the very least it would be a good publicity stunt. A publicity stunt that would take probably 3 or 4 days of remote obs, and a week or two of UHF comms to send back The tracks are very difficult to see anyway in Endurance - so they'd be wasting their time pretty much. I'd rather they forego that and start making some progress. We do, after all, have two full colour panoramas of the crater from the rim already. We're done with Endurance - time to leave it behind.
