A spring! The thermal blanket seems to be in excellent condition.

Looks like somebody dropped a plastic "spring water" bottle on the left side of the thing.

Now I see! That thing is "truckin'"!!
To: Phil V.
This isn't a "crash" site, is it? It's the heat shield that was jettisoned prior to landing.

361+ days on Mars (for spirit) and still ticking. Those things are tougher than a Timex watch. Makes you proud to be an American. Too bad the LSM don't consider it worth reporting.

What was impact velocity?I have no idea. The last thing I recall was the flight attendant yelling at us to fasten seat belts . . . then springs, sprockets and life vests were tumbling all over th' place. I'm lucky to be alive.

Always have my 3D specs next to the PC for just such and occasion. Real Cool. The spring is a nice touch, just seems weird to see such a common item sitting on a planet so far away.
