As we have become accustomed to here on UMSF, the Rovers have reached another incredible milestone.
Today (tosol), the Mars Exploration Rover 'Spirit' has been operating on the red planet for 2000 Sols.

To celebrate, here are a few logos, desktops and a poster for you to download and enjoy.
The poster features another brilliant work of prose from our UMSF 'Poet Dude' Stuart Atkinson and a big credit to James Canvin for the Calypso Pan (with some Astro0 enhancements wink.gif). You guys rock!

There's also a full-size 4.5mb version of the poster over at my blog.
Plus a 16.2mb version to download for the brave.

Technically you're right, but it was written to be emotional, not scientifically or chronologically accurate.
