My concern is for "Opportunity" to get out of that crater ASAP.

If a strong dust storm kicks up, it could be burried in dust and unable to move anywhere.

As far as "Spirit" is concerned, my theory is that a Static Electricity discharge has damaged the flash memory.

Absolutely. So much to see, so little time.
