I find it so hard to figure out how close Curiosity is to the peak/ridge of Mt Sharp and whether/when it seems likely to cross over to the other side.

this is really cool but it's missing a lot of context... like... they're taking pictures of the ground beneath their feet. it would be a very autistic way to tell the story of a hobbit's journey without the context of what they're looking at and why.

this slideshow is missing a narrative. people normally travel and orient themselves by landmarks. their journeys are related amongst themselves by language surrounding common landmarks.

maybe the narrative for the rover isn't available
