Yet another NASA rover (Opportunity) is having a problem

Don't know if this is report or not, searched for nasa and nothing came up.

Either way, that makes it 3 for 3. If I remember correctly, the first NASA rover that landed 2 years ago had software problem, where they needed to upload a patch. Taking this into account, maybe NASA needs to find better engineers.

What I find ridiculous is that the problems on the first vechicle are not mechanical, they are software problems. If there is ANYTHING that should be sure to work on something like that you would think it would be the software.

So far all of the pics are of Mars. I wonder if the rover will send back images of BSODs instead
