Stuck in a crater...

It's nice NASA could put such a great spin (salt water sea evidence)
on the fact the rover can't climb out of the crater it's in.
Could a manned probe make it out of the crater? It wouldn't have to
since they wouldn't have landed in it in the first place.

You haven't noticed that Opportunity is out of the crater?

It could and it did. I like the magnificent desolation of the plains. It must
feel very liberating to be out of that crater, even though it gave us some
great science results. Opportunity is my favorite now.

Isn't a "manned probe" an oxymoron?

Richard:

This guy needs to get a TV or a radio or an Internet connection or a
newspaper subscription or a telphone or *something* so that he can keep
up with what's happening out of this world.

It isn't stuck in a crater. It drove out a couple of days ago. You seem to
be behind the times (and you can't read the sci.astro.amateur charter either).

Nope, no trolling on s.a.a. The charter says it all.

The sci.astro.amateur charter
-----------------------------
The original version was written by Ken Kirksey
:

What Is sci.astro.amateur?

sci.astro.amateur is forum for amateur astronomers to discuss topics of
mutual interest, with a focus on astronomical observing.

What Are Suitable Topics For sci.astro.amateur?

Discussion in sci.astro.amateur includes, but is not necessarily limited to,
the following topics:

Observing
Using the naked eye, binoculars, or telescopes
The Moon, Planets, Stars, The Sun, Comets, Deep Sky
Objects, Constellations, et. al.

Equipment
Choosing Telescopes/Binoculars
Choosing Accessories (Finders, Drives, Eyepieces, Filters,
Observatories, etc.)
Building Telescopes, Backyard Observatories, etc.

Astrophotography
Traditional
CCD
Image Processing

Astronomy Software
Planetarium Programs
Deep Sky Programs
Observatory Programs
Educational Programs

Tips & Techniques for Amateur Astronomers

Literature covering the topics listed above

What Topics Are *Not* Suitable for sci.astro.amateur?

Anything of a highly technical, theoretical, or cosmological nature G.
Seriously, one of the major reasons that sci.astro.amateur was created was
that people were tired of wading through all the black hole, origin & fate of
the universe, Steven Hawking | Carl Sagan is a twit, et. al. kind of posts to
get to the ones discussing the topics listed in this charter. While some of
the theoretical/cosmological topics may be of interest to some amateur
astronomers, discussion in sci.astro.amateur should be pretty much limited to
the PRACTICE of amateur astronomy. We'll leave the heavy topics for
sci.astro.
