This is the second coring attempt at the very same target... with one sample already successfully extracted at this very spot.

They took only one sample at the leopard spots/Bright Angel/Neretva Vallis/potential biosignature site, but two here.

2025 is wild.

Wild for sure, and now they have driven away with that empty tube.... Hard to understand what's going on
