PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE - To MARS with MER
We had heard that new images of Mars had recently just come in. What did they look like?

What we saw as we got close to Endurance Crater is this wonderful pathway. You can see there are pits on the left and pits on the right and like that's the way to go. It is red carpeted and we drove right up to the low front rim, which is the forward rim of this crater. And we have just perched ourselves on that rim. And just last night the very first pictures from the interior of this crater came back and they are spectacular. It's cool. It's totally cool.
