NASA’s Curiosity rover has just pulled into gorgeous terrain chock full of curvy rock outcrops at Kimberly that’s suitable for contact science and drilling action, according to the mission team.
The six wheeled Martian dune buggy drove into the Kimberly waypoint this week after traversing a swath of otherworldly dune fields since passing through a gateway known as the ‘Dingo Gap’ sand dune some six weeks ago.
The science team has been hunting for tasty rock outcrops suitable for the first drilling campaign since she departed the dried out lakebed at Yellowknife Bay in July 2013 and began her epic trek towards the base of Mount Sharp.(…)

They are SO full of BS.
I’ve been watching Mars burn up for more than a week. Docked by Venus & Mercury. Huge flares and explosions.
