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/

The directive was rescinded an hour ago - there will be no shutdown of either Rover. Last weeks letter was removed from the table.

The directive was rescinded an hour ago - there will be no shutdown of either Rover. Last week sletter was removed from the table. My first thought was: w00t! Thank goodness it seems to have been a trial balloon. But a second, guilty thought occurs... presumably this means $8m in additional cost-saving now needs to be found elsewhere. Any news on Odyssey? ![]() (Two thoughts in one day? I'm going for a lie down.) -------------------- --
