Though most of the monument areas are so remote that...
Still, move along both rovers do. Spirit's next destinations are the comparatively nearby Goddard Crater and an outcropping of what might be volcanic material. Opportunity has just embarked on a long march toward Endeavour Crater, a seven-mile journey that - with the rover's slow speed and frequent stops and starts - will take two years to complete...
