      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

          Subsurface soil not containing expected moisture levels? I think of sand when I see substrate filling in gaps like that. Very intriguing, keep learning!

          Moisture content is no different than what we expected before we landed: it’s very dry.

          1st thought I had was the "mole" was being pushed up by Mars ground freezing. Then I remembered it was -15 to -150C and quietly went about my business of ignoring myself.

          How much of a factor is Mars’ reduced gravity when trying to replicate on Earth?

          Could always use the bucket on the arm to keep it from bouncing up too much. Maybe a mole inspired by a bee stinger would have worked better? Although it's a bit too late and I'm not a NASA engineer xD

          Something as easy for us as digging a hole seems so complicated for a robot ! Thanks to natural selection which has given us the most agile hands and finguers.
