I know that every time I get a new car, I spend weeks just moving it back and forth a few meters each day to test it out.

Just checking out the systems, and turning around
to get a view of the blast area from the landing.

The rover weighs about 800 lbs on Mars (about a ton on earth).
The tire tracks do not seem to be very deep.

This is an animated visualization of the latest movement.

From a NASA article:

“Octavia Butler was the first African American woman to win both the Hugo and Nebula awards that honor great science fiction, and the first science fiction writer overall who received a MacArthur Fellowship. Her notable work includes the stories “Kindred,” “Bloodchild,” “Speech Sounds,” “Parable of the Sower,” “Parable of the Talents,” and the “Patternist” series. She died in 2006.”

I’m guessing that Issac Asimov Landing Site was already taken.

Fred, let’s hope that NASA doesn’t ruin the privacy of your retreat cabin site, like they did the last time.
