It depends how you do the maths - but today, tomorrow, at some point about now - Spirit is celebrating her second Martian Birthday.
As is traditional with such things (well, I did it last time) - I sent birthday cards to Cornell & JPL thanking the scientists and the engineers for their hard work and their efforts in taking us along for the adventure with them.
Steve tells me that the Cornell card has safely arrived, and that their MER model is now wearing her badge right between the Navcams

Is it just me or isn't two martian years on SOL 1338?
Martian year is 669 sols and x2 = 1338
We had the same argument last time around, and allowing for the fact that we've got two of them three weeks apart, the pace of international postage - I sent them nice and early. It's more a birthday 'season' than a day

O.K. let's keep an eye on the MER video updates
