A view from the edge of Victoria Crater, where Opportunity recently emerged back out onto the Meridiani Plains. Next comes renewed driving across the open landscape. Mission planners have said they plan to look for ejecta, rocks that were blasted out of craters far away, which gives the rover a chance to examine material from distant locations.

Hang the UV, hang the bone loss. I just want to go. I don’t care if the robots have a use for me.

I don’t think anything will stop us. I don’t know when, but someone, someday, will stand here.

They (the robots) do have a use for you. Their solar panels could use some windex and the RATs could use a dentist.
Hey, that’s my ticket. I can fix the RATs’ teeth.
Let’s see, I’ll need some SPF 75…

Had long been waiting for this, Mark. Am prepared to share the expenditures. Just went through a course in Martian physiology. Ready when you are.
