Opportunity Escaped!

Patience Is A Virtue

After almost five weeks of stress, testing, speculation and experimentation, the Mars rover Opportunity has finally worked its way out of the dune it has been stuck in. JPL Engineers cheered when images showed that the rover's wheels were free.

Since efforts began to get the rover unstuck, it has driven enough to move 581 feet if there were no slippage. It has actually moved forward about 3 feet.

That's no small step, when you're running a rover from millions of miles away. Congratulations!
