One martian year coming up in a few hours!
Nov. 19, 12:23:40 PM UTC if my math is correct It's hard to describe what a fantastic achivement this is. So I'll just say: Let's keep on roving! _||_____O___|__ /////////////////// -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure.

I like this:
"While no one can predict how long Spirit will last, the rover's stamina throughout the long martian year encourages hope. The science team is busy even now plotting new destinations to strive toward. If the "Columbia Hills" were once a distant dream, new far-off horizons beckon just as much. Getting there will stretch the rover's capabilities as much as the imagination. Team member Jim Rice calls one such distant target, a rough and rugged terrain to the south, "the Promised Land." http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/s...isedland_br.jpg |
