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 money restored to MER and Odyssey will have to come out of something else. My fear is that it will come out of the science analysis budgets. So we'll have data that never gets analyzed.

Good news. Always a stupid idea turning off working spacecraft.
