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 ). You guys rock! Poster: 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. Desktops: Logos: |

Big WOW & congrats to Stu & Astro0 for their wonderful collaboration featured in the very House of the Holy itself...still can't believe you guys let me hang out here!
2000 sols...it's just unreal to think about it. Here's a gee-whiz in true NASA tradition for comparison: US children born on the day she landed will be entering kindergarten next month, or even first grade depending on local qualification requirements. With any luck some of those same children will be watching her still when they enter high school. MER team- what can any of us really say? You've exhausted all superlatives. My God, how we the space-aware public admire your collective dedication, ingenuity, and accomplishments! -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
