Once these fillies are 2 years old we can start them on their racing careers.

Put Spirit out to stud? Or....whatever you'd do, given that these rovers are generally given female personas instead of male.

QUOTE (ToSeek @ Sep 13 2006, 04:55 PM)  What does "11 time duration" mean? 11 times 90 sols I guess 990 sols -------------------- "I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like"
