Thanks for posting this link. At 1:22 looks like 2/3 the height of the wheels are down in soft 'mars' sand. Amazing it got free with axle hub and suspension dragging.

It really makes me appreciate what a remarkable achievement this rover is. I admit that after a decade I've sort of taken it for granted. To just think that has been running all this time doing so much good work is awesome.
