Paolo's got his plunge over at Meridiani....and thanks to Ashley's driving, we now have - Stroupe's Slide here at Gusev. It took an email or two to figure out the best alliteration for it. Somehow 'Ashley's Favorable Incline' didn't quite scan, and Home Plate North is just so..dull. And where better to slide, than home plate! Even after as much careful planning ( that some suggested was too conservative ) it was still a major effort to get Spirit safe in time - so kudos to Ashley Stroupe and her colleagues for dealing with a couple of Mars jet-lagged weeks and giving us a shot at celebrating a 5th Martian Birthday.

Get comfortable, we may be here some time smile.gif

That's quite poetically true.
After all, long after we're gone, he'll still lay there on the martian plain.

Spirit is female.

I was never sure of the argument that because ships are female, rovers are. Rovers
have wheels, and I know for a fact that many wheeled vehicles are boys.
