These look like hard outer shells on some parts of some outcrops, and they’re darker and a little redder than the rock that they encrust,

[Opportunity has wheeled up to such an outcrop that has some rinds on it,] among the best we’ve ever seen, ... So once we nail the cobble problem, we may go after the rinds next.

Once we've finished the rest of the list, we'll start the descent.

For Spirit, we're going to head down the hill, looking for bedrock and heading toward Home Plate,

For Opportunity, we're going to continue south through the etched terrain, studying bedrock as we go and heading toward Victoria crater.

Unfortunately, recovering from something like a reset is a slow, lengthy process. You don't know what caused the problem, and the immediate concern is that whatever triggered it will do it again next time you try it. The thing you have to do is fire up each of the rover's capabilities one at a time, checking each one carefully and individually to see whether it would cause another reset or not. Standard spacecraft troubleshooting practice…but it takes time.

The root cause of the reset remains a mystery, but I guess the occasional odd glitch is to be expected from a vehicle that's been on Mars for almost 600 sols.

Easy problem to find and fix, but it happened at just the wrong time and cost us data, and one more sol, ... Another first for the Mars Exploration Rover Project.

That was waiting to bite us. If Opportunity had landed first, it would have had the same problem.

Spirit is our tough, hardworking robot. Opportunity looks like she just came off the showroom floor, clean and pretty.

I have a huge amount of respect for what they've accomplished,

We're there, for all intents and purposes.

We can see most of the crater from where we are right now, and we've made the decision that we're going to traverse around it on its western side. We're actually going to start the drive around the crater by going north a little bit ... to get onto terrain that's mostly bedrock ... before we swing west.

We think Opportunity is now parked on what was once the shoreline of a salty sea on Mars.

We're just waiting. We're just in awe of what we're seeing and we're just waiting to see the whole thing so we can really get about the business of deciding what to do.
