Opportunity is getting ready to embark on her most extraordinary journey, a true rover epic.
As information regarding how to win the distance are being collected here, and the emotional last views from Victoria Crater are being discussed here, I thought about creating a new thread that will surely become an obligatory stop as the tall peaks and other features of Endeavour start to rise in the horizon. Here we will be able to discuss the location of features seen from the distance, references that will help us understanding better what we are seing and that will, fortunately, feed our spirit across the long sail across the Meridiani sandwaves. Ultreya! I give it a kick with this navcam image, comparing it with Astro0's original (beautiful...) image: I'm sure James Canvin will correct me... EDITED: I can't resist...I tried! I honestly tried, but it is stronger than me...so many features ahead and not a single name?! Seriously, at Victoria we had features named after places visited by the vessel, and now for Endeavour? Assuming that Oppy will succeed on her quest will the mission keep the same policy, of naming places after Endeavour's tour? If so, there may be some names in common with Victoria... While we are ready to leave the port once more I remembered that we could start naming, internally, (in order to have catchier landmark references... We could follow the order presented here. Let me just edit the image up there... -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
