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. http://www.planetary.org/blog/article/00001796/ -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

By the way, are there any places to see full videos of the rover landings and press conferences? I'd like to relive those heady moments.

If you don't know this, try it. Spirit landing (sound only but it is great, and I was there in the crowd  )! I listen to it time to time: http://www.planetary.org/radio/show/00000100/

Thx for the link climber!
I'm a bit saddened, though, if the first MER landing press conferences are nowhere to be found on the web. With so much drivel on internet video.. - and then not this wonderfully historical footage? I did try to search http://www.space-multimedia.nl.eu.org/ but with no luck... |
