It is a big step. We've really switched gears.

It's very similar in composition, with very similar textures when you look at it with a microscope, but it's dipping in all different directions. What it says is that the geology around here is pretty complicated.

There's a lot of good stuff beyond it.

A sol like that gives you confidence. I'm really convinced now that we're able to keep the vehicle safe.

We're not going to take any risks. It's a big crater in terms of diameter, but really shallow. It's nothing like Endurance.

I actually see the Mars year anniversary as being more significant, ... We will have seen Mars over an entire seasonal cycle.

I think we're going to make it.

Our speed of travel is driven as much by survival as by discovery.

We were fearful for a time that the motor may have failed permanently. If that were the case, we'd never be able to use the arm again.

[Before launch] it just seemed impossibly far away, it seemed unreachable. Tonight, I go out knowing our rovers have been there a whole Martian year...it's a much more familiar planet. We know the place.

Nobody has the display capability in their homes you'd need to really see these images in all their grandeur. One panorama we created was 4,000 pixels high and 24,000 pixels around, and your laptop just can't display that. But on an IMAX screen five stories tall, you're standing on the edge of the crater. You're there.

They'd had to deal with huge technical as well as financial challenges. Just to get Beagle 2 to the launch pad is a huge accomplishment.

Wind has to be involved at some level you figure. Frost might have helped. A frost build-up on arrays could coagulate the dust...but the fact is that we don't understand it very well. But I'll take it.

The hill is very steep in places ... and the orbital images show a lot of tasty geology, some of it in pretty nasty-looking places. All in all, the next several weeks are going to present us with some of the most interesting route-finding decisions that we've faced in a long time, on both sides of the planet.

It was a hot, violent place with volcanic explosions and impacts. Water was around, perhaps localized hot springs in some cases and trace amounts of water in other cases.
