This whole mission has surpassed all of our expectations. |
We didn't know if the rover could climb up or down the hills of the crater. |
We need to drive like hell and get to the hills before the winter sets in. |
We're stunned by the diversity of rocks. This stuff looks like it was put into a blender. |
When we opened our eyes, we saw bedrock exposed in the walls of the crater. |
When you look at the most important accomplishments of the mission, a lot of them were due to Opportunity. It was the one that found the really powerful evidence for a habitable environment in Mars' past. It's sort have been the good luck rover for this whole thing. |
You create a pile of dirt and then drive over it. We may have to learn to drive all over again. |
