I'm still confused about the gender of Spirit and Oppy! What the consent about? If Spirit female (so I think) then make it sense to keep quiet about her age and make she younger
 No kidding! I would like to know which personal pronoun (she, her or he, his etc.) I have to use by Spirit's and Oppy's gender definitely?

Scott As suggested, checking between Spirit's back wheels via the rear hazcam leads me to think at least maybe "she" is a "he"... going by that cut lander cable there : http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/all...00P1312R0M1.JPG Then again, maybe it could just be considered a residual umbilical cord. |
