Awesome!
That's great news! Squyres has the right attitude!
It's particularly amusing because I've been watching the more ambitious dreamers at the UMSF forum talking about eventually heading for Endeavour (they've called it Ithica) for a year or two, with the realists over there pooh-poohing the notion.
Now, not only is that the new goal, but it gets even better! One of the actual rover drivers has de-lurked at UMSF and is asking the gang for advice on route selection given how much they've already looked at route selection! :) Pretty cool.
Here's hoping Oppy makes it!
