Punctured wheels and all, Curiosity made it to Mount Sharp, a Mount Rainier size mountain in the center of a huge crater on Mars. It will now examine various layers of stratification as it climbs the slope. The above is a picture, actually a panorama of many images, showing some of the nearby rock details,
and you will note most of those rocks are broken into fragments. That's what happens when a large meteoroid punctures the crust of a planet and explodes inside its core. And no, Virginia, we haven't found the very first McDonald's yet,
but the search continues! Stay Tuned..... And those bluish rocks look like they might by Bornite, a copper concentrate. But we can't afford to bring it home.
