I'm not really asking a question really - just posing an issue smile.gif




Mars Pathfinder was about 2.2km from 'Big Crater' which was about 1.5km wide.

Now - Victoria is only half that size - but it says something about local topography that we cant see it from where we are now - about 3-4km from it.

Thanks for the deliverance from the PDF format. smile.gif

We have only accomplished the half way to Victoria, therefore my heavy guess is that we are still on the flat plane and only now Oppy have to overbear this (circa) 40 metres, ...hui 40 metres blink.gif

I'm right with 40?
