A similar idea came to me as I looked at how the NASA scientists pinpointed
the location. A great activity for those participating in Red Rover or just
for those who want to construct a landscape would be to take a digital
photo of the entire landscape from above duplicating what NASA had, then
take a panorama shot from the Rover and try to triangulate the location.
Could it be done? Ideas? Comments?

I thought that naming the site after Carl Sagan was very fitting. There now
is no question that his memory will live forever.
