Curiosity is one of only two operating vehicles on all of Mars, half a world away from Jezero crater. So it was a bit unsettling when Perseverance pulled up to a slab of rock after a recent drive and observed freshly made scrape marks.

I expect a future book or two when the MSL and 2020 surface operations eventually come to a close. Knowing some of the players I don’t feel they would be overtly controversial. but one may have to read a little between the lines :) Sadly I’m already as old as dirt, so I won’t be seeing them on my coffee table before they nail my pine lid down. As for Neretva Vallis, you are not alone, it seemed more than a little odd that only one sample was taken. I know they have limited tubes left, but it sure feels like a missed opportunity…
