Great point. What's strange is that the soil at Spirit's site and that at Opportunity's seem to have different properties. Spirit's looks much more gummy, with those scrape marks. Spirit's seems to take impressions much more strongly, but not to stick to things -- you can see the seams of the airbags in the "lillypad" impressions made when the lander was bouncing along, yet the airbags are not covered with dirt the way Spirit's are. Very odd. -- Joe
