    Mars continues to surprise us. While digging this weekend the mole backed about halfway out of the ground. Preliminary assessment points to unexpected soil properties as the main reason. Team looking at next steps. #SaveTheMole #Teamworkpic.twitter.com/UURvU8VTwZ

        One possibility observed in testing on Earth is that soil could fall in front of the mole’s tip as it rebounds, gradually filling the hole in front of it as the mole backs out. Team continues to look over the data and will have a plan in the next few days #SaveTheMole #Teamwork

        The team anticipated loose, sandy soil, similar to what’s been seen at the Spirit and Opportunity sites. What we are seeing here is a very loose dust at the top 1-2 cm, and then what appears to me a much more resistive layer below.

        Soil analysis is done on board the rover?

        My team tries to place bounds on various soil properties but no direct sampling onboard.

        Well I’m sure there’s an expert in soil properties who considers this unfortunate turn of events to be ‘fascinating data’

        The Martian moles don't like NASA's mole digging in their territory!
