re: Next rover goal?

They're REALLY struggling at the moment. Oppy got within 30cm of hitting Wompay - far far too close for comfort. The slopes are much more difficult to traverse than they thought.

Whilst the slopes may look easy and accesable, to be honest, I think they'll spend a week TRYING to get to Burns Cliff - but getting 100 - 120% slip as they try.

Lest we forget - the reason they entered the crater where they did -was because a) it was the only way in, but b) it had the same strata we see here in the cliff, but laid out in sequence in a nice traversable way.
