Just found out today at a MER all-hands meeting that both MER and Odyssey will each be suffering an immediate $4 million budget cut to help defray the cost of MSL. Read more here: http://martianchronicles.wordpress.com/200...rs-budget-cuts/

I'd thought that Nasa (or whoever it is) would have been wise to avoid this debate so close to a Mars landing.
I'm not sure the people that are working so hard to make Phoenix lander a success are in their best mood now. Communicating is essential but sometimes, they'd better think it twice. I hope Spirit & Oppy will not be only two successful landing from 2004 to 2014. -------------------- |
