Yeah, we really are entering a new phase of this mission. There is a whole world out there to investigate beyond Gale Crater, but sometimes I think one mission isn't enough for this place.

Fully agreed, with the expected life of a the rover's MMRTG, one mission was never going to be enough to investigate inside the crater, let alone the terrain outside the crater.
