Spirit has been repaired and has given a martian rock a big noogie.

Oppurtunity is approaching martian bedrock.


I am starting to suspect these rovers will remain operational for many months.

link to jpl page and press releases.
 
thats awesome,
hope there's some big discovery that will renew the public's interest in this!
 
To my understanding the only problem with Sprit was that it was had been continuously writing data onto it's flash memory which it observed on it's trip to mars. They seemed to forget that they had a limited amount of storage space and since no data was ever deleted the rover's software kept crashing everytime it tried to write data because the flash memory had become full. They were eventually able to get the rover to delete enough data to become operational again. I think they now have it setup to delete old data so it does not run out of space again.

What the fvck is that supposed to be a picture of?

Anyway, have either of the rovers gunned down any Martians yet? How do they plan to get the trophy heads back to Earth?
 
Is it just me or do all the pics look like they were made in 3d Studio Max? Maybe it is just the curvature of the lens.

What these guys are saying is that jpl masked whatever was seen on that "rock". I didnt say I bought it, just posting useful nef material.

I think this is one of the coolest things ever. They're freaking driving a car (well, not quite - but STILL!) on another freaking planet. It's unreal.
