Five Years of Spirit on Mars

I normally don't go re-posting the blogs that I know most of us here read regularly, but I have to point out what a wonderful job Emily did in digesting five years of Spirit's exploration into one commentary/column of under 1800 words.

I can't wait to read Opportunity's story later this month.
