And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

no shit. Like what's the shutter delay after you hit the button? Or is it programmed out days/weeks/months ahead?

+100. I've been watching this great series on BBC called "Andrew Marr's History of the World" and it is simply amazing how far we've come as a species from only a few tens of thousands of years ago. Our scientific achievements, especially space exploration, give me hope for humanity, despite our propensity to act like the primitive apes that we descended from and still are in so many ways.

Check out two Mastcam mosaics that we’ve released, with pan/zoom capability on the web. I'm excited everything in this area is getting named after Western Montana features.

Nice!
Few questions if you dont mind?
You can see dunes quite a bit, what kind of windspeeds do mars get? You have a bit less gravity but is the sand much more fine grained or do stuff get moved around a lot even if the atmoshpere is really thin? Are those dunes caused by the dust storms or by some "prevailing" winds, like you have some regular wind patterns there?
The floggings will continue until morale improves.

Funny, I was trying to find some info on wind speeds near the rover this morning for another reason. There is a wind sensor on the rover, but didn't have much luck finding data. It is operated by Spain and had some damage, so not sure if they get wind info. The rover seems to keep getting dustier, so I would think if the wind was blowing it would get cleaned off at times. Although the dust could be sticking to the rover. I'm planning to look into it more when I get some free time.
I don't know much about dunes. Don't think we have seen any move(other than slump) from the rover, but some people claim the big ones at the base of mt sharp are moving based on orbiter data.

did your cameras help in discovering the water/liquid thing a few days ago?

Hey 406, stop wasting time drilling holes and drive over to the water. Do you have a snorkel on that thing?

Some more wheel info, detailed look at left middle wheel( a sol is a day on Mars since landing):
MSL performed a complete five-position survey of all wheels on sol 1046 with the MAHLI camera on the end of the arm. The damage to the wheels has changed only slightly since sol 708.

Wondering how the wheel issues are working out on Mars...

Back in March we noticed the first break in a tread "grouser", nothing of note since, still trundling along.
