Done with the heatshield and on the road to Vostok
  Time to put the pedal to the metal! How far is the maximum drive distance in one SOL? Will Oppy be able to make a new one day drive record despite the dust in the sky? -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like"

It'll have have been trench-mania for the weekend, followed by scuff-obs as well ( you seen the MI images of the berries - it's like someone threw a pot of ballbearings under the 'scope)
After that, I imagine a big push south. fwiw - I think I can see vostok in the distance, a curved white feature in L2/L4 images  The little horizon features being the rim of Victoria. I'll try and make some sense of the rough edge of victoria and correlate to that image at some point. Busy putting together an MER talk for Wed PM at the moment  Doug |
