Even though she's stuck mobility impaired, 2000 is something to celebrate.

What kind of drinks & food should be served at a sol2000 party

I'm guessing a Red Rover is a natural http://www.thatsthespirit.com/en/drinks/recipe.asp?recipe_id=186

and of course Mars Bar Rice Crispie squares http://www.donogh.com/cooking/csquares/mars.shtml

other ideas?

How about Troy Trifle

Layers and layers of cake, cream, fruit

Serves me right for not checking my twitter feed before posting that!

Has anyone made a 'let's all meet up in sol 2000' joke yet?


What about 'In sol 2525, If Spirit is still alive, If Oppy can survive...'


OK I've run out of song references now, you can stop throwing things at me.

No need to rush, there'll be another opportunity for bad music / sol jokes in just under four months time...

So...It's Sol 2241 for Spirit now. If Viking 1 gets credit for surviving 2245 Sols, Spirit will break that record if there's even a single data downlink after that, right? Hopefully we don't have to wait months to find out if that record will be broken!

So, I'm I right in thinking anything from now, even a single beep, and the baton is passed from Viking to Spirit?...

Unless we receive real bad news, let's say that VL1's record was broken yesterday... (Sol 2246)

CHEERS for Spirit !!! BRAVO to the JPL MER team !


(=> Well, now I must change my "VikingMars" name for "MERMars"...)

It has just struck me (I know I'm slow) that with Spirit likely to maintain radio silence for a while you will actually become OppyMars in about 20 sols time followed by, if all goes well, SpiritMars, later in the year. Suddenly, the genius of this plan to pretend we are 'stuck and can't speak at Troy' so that Oppy gets a little taste of the longevity records limelight has been revealed to me in all its glory...

You are absolutely right, this is why I prefer the generic "MER" name... Then, no problem choosing between the two rovers
