Way to Go, Opportunity!

For the past 18 months, the rover Opportunity has been trundling across the plains of Mars, in an attempt to reach the Victoria Crater.

Tomorrow, it will finally arrive. It's going to peek over the edge of the crater, which is about 200 feet deep.

A note on the article: I like the way the scientists refer to Opportunity and Spirit as females. The only reason I didn't here is that I don't feel I know them personally. :)
