If you're using Firefox - open all the L's or all the R's of this lot in tabs, and then flick thru them..

Looks VERY much like the navcam movies that Oppy was taking when trying to climb from Wopmay to Burns Cliff - stuck in the dirt spinning wheels and digging into the ground a little ohmy.gif

I dont think it's a trenching op - as they wouldnt do a navcam movie for that -it'd be FHAZ.

It's certainly been a quiet and confusing few days in MER world hasnt it ohmy.gif

a new view in the latest rear hazcam (contrast enhanced)

I've wondered why they don't attack the hill in a more "sideways"
or "serpentine" like manner, just like a mountain-road that never goes
to steep, but "zig-zags" to the summit.
Is it because the side-tilt would be to much for the rovers then ?
