re: "NewScientist" article on Endurance Crater:
If it's skirting the entire rim - it doesnt matter which way it goes round :D I say right - as they get to image the Heatshield again nice and early on the way round, giving them time to decide if they want to visit it, and/or further features south of the crater.
I still think that if the slope into that crater is steeper than Eagle Crater - they shouldnt THINK about going in there. Little is spoken of the first failed attempt to get out of Eagle Crater - but that was a very shallow slope and it dug some huge holes spinning it's way up there
