I think the rovers have spoiled me; I want Phoenix to go up the rim of
that big crater and peek into it. :-)


Well, if they hadn't released the pressurant, at the end of 90 days they
coulda cranked those nozzles up and shifted the thing- oh, at least a
foot.


You sure that the propellant will stay liquid in this case?


Frequent "clearing the nozzles" would help.
