Ditto, I can't wait until MER B Lands on the 24th. MER A will be well underway and there will be so many new pictures of Mars I will be like a kid in a candy shop.

Opportunity's site is a hematite formation supposedly so it will be interesting to see the rocks there. Hematite is considered a water process mineral formation. I can't wait to see what the rock closeups at this site will look like.

Remember the first color pancam image from jan 5? There is a neat rock you should look at in that image. I'll try cut it and to post it here in a little while but it looks like a it was cleaved into similar. I'm no geologist but I can only speculate that liquid water freezing could have split the rock like that. Of course it could also be an image anomoly where they pasted the pics together but I can't tell by looking at it.
