So Far, So Good
Spirit has received a clean bill of health thus far in another day of instrument check-outs. The JPL team was hoping to start receiving the high-quality color images today, so maybe we'll have something cool to see relatively soon. The team is eagerly anticipating checking out the "Sleepy Hollow" depression as soon as the rover begins roving. Kind of odd to think that they want to go about 40 feet away, and can't do it for another week. Of course, once it starts moving, it's going to set new Mars speed records. If I recall correctly, Spirit can move about as far in a day as Sojourner did in its entire operational life. Addendum: According to SpaceDaily, the good pics could still be a week away.
