Gradual progress. To extract Opportunity from her little predicament, we’ve commanded a total of 12 meters of wheel turns so far… 2 meters, then 2 meters, then 4 meters, then 4 meters. We’ve seen slow, steady progress each time.
We’re going to kick her into a slightly higher gear today, commanding 8 meters of wheel turns, and we’ll see what we see. Optimism continues to run high.
At Gusev, Spirit has arrived at a safe standoff position for observing the eastern side of Larry’s Lookout.
We’re going to sit here and do some serious Pancamming for a sol or two, and then we’re going to have to decide what comes next. There are a bunch of possibilities, and we’re going to have a very interesting time choosing among them.
