APOD 1.7

Rocky Plains of Mars

Opportunity keeps on chugging across the rough terrain of Mars every day. It is well on it way to the crater Endeavor, but still has quite the trek ahead of it. Seeing this awesome terrain makes me hope even more that we will be able to visit our neighbor planet one day. NASA is sending Opportunity to this crater in hopes that the asteroid uncovered enough of the planet to reach any evidence of previous life on the red planet. I personally cannot wait for the rover to reach the crater, and am a huge proponent of sending multiple higher quality rovers to the planet once we have better technology. Nothing would get us answers more quickly than having a lot more rovers on the surface.
