sol 136 RAC super 3D of clumpy soil in the scoop here and animation of soil settling in the scoop here.

The 3D was taken after the slumping soil was was dumped on the WCL.

Very strange stuff.

Also strange is the fact that even though I have posted very few images on Flickr in the past week or so, my Flickr viewing stats are steadily increasing. Most of the hits are direct hits on the Flickr photostream and not redirections from other sites ( like this one ).

And now for something completely different...

I have been very much absorbed ( as perhaps all of you ) by the ongoing worldwide financial crisis, trying to understand exactly what's happening - and trying to guess the long term implications.

Perhaps someone would like to start a topic on the impact of the comming depression on space exploration.
