The rover (and her driving team) has done it! Curiosity has taken a little jaunt inside Gale Crater and here is an image of the wheel tracks to prove it! This image was taken by the right Navigation Camera on the rover Curiosity on Sol 16 (2012-08-22 15:00:53 UTC).
UPDATE: See our new article from today’s press briefing with more images here.

I always stop in to visit UT first… even before visiting the NASA sites, because you guys are SO on it! HeyUP!
Looks like a Bootprint!!! A hoax me thinks? LOL
Who’s the moron methodically going through every Curiosity post thumbing down all comments? NASA’s jealous younger brother? This Mars stuff is stellar!!!
