Opportunity on the Move Again
2005-06-06
The Mars rover Opportunity has successfully escaped from a sand trap. JPL engineers cheered when images returned from Mars showed the rover's wheels were free. Engineers worked for nearly five weeks to carefully maneuver the rover out of the sand dune. (Jun. 4)

#3  GREAT picture.

Cheers to Opportunity (the little rover that CAN), and the JPL team.

Off topic, I went to the new wing of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. It's PHENOMENAL.
