Let's suppose for the sake of discussion that a rover becomes immobile, but that its cameras and instruments still work. What's the best science you can do with a stuck rover? For example, you could do atmospheric studies indefinately; you could take closeups of everything within reach; and you could look for change over time at the site. Now chances are, we'll get rolling again, but maybe someday we'll face the question of salvage science. What's Plan B?
