    A little wounded after all that time, but still operational, gathering science data, and still traversing to new science waypoints.

    Here’s the post-drive deBayered workspace (assembled from 15 overlapping images) :)

      There is little to be said for the current state of the world, but this, this is among the few genuinely good things we have. A robot on another planet, taking pictures so detailed you can pick out individual pieces of gravel. Absolutely amazing, NASA represents the absolutely best about the USA- ingenuity, creativity, engineering prowess, fortitude, and of course, curiosity. If only it would be the guiding principle for the rest of the society, what a world it could have been.

        The world is a messy state at the moment, but we’ve got through dark times before. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel, even if it’s rather dim.
