It has been a great adventure to get onto the summit of this hill. I know we went there for science reasons but nonetheless (for) the people that drive the rover every day it's been a journey of exploration. Every day that we come in and drive we see images that came down (to Earth). It's a new vista, something that people have never seen before. After doing that for 591 sols, you really get the feeling that you're on Mars yourself. |
When the images came down and we could see horizon all the wayaround, that was every bit as exhilarating as getting to the top of any mountain I've climbed on Earth. |
