Hey, Houston, that may have seemed like a very long final phase. The AUTO targeting was taking us right into a football field size—football field sized crater, with a large number of big boulders and rocks for about … one or two crater diameters around it, and it required a … in P66 and flying manually over the rock field to find a reasonably good area.

We'll get to the details of what's around here, but it looks like a collection of just about every variety of shape, angularity, granularity, about every variety of rock you could find. The colors—Well, it varies pretty much depending on how you're looking relative to the zero-phase point. There doesn't appear to be too much of a general color at all. However, it looks as though some of the rocks and boulders, of which there are quite a few in the near area, it looks as though they're going to have some interesting colors to them. Over.
