They should land it near that British Beagle to see what happened to it.

....or maybe they can make Sheila Jackson Lee happy, and land it near the American Flag that was planted on Mars by the astronauts.

(For those who may be unfamiliar with the story, several year ago Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D., Tex.), while visiting Mars Pathfinder Mission Control Center, asked whether the Pathfinder had taken pictures of the American flag planted there by Neil Armstrong in 1969).

Yes. Looks like a place compulsive dusters would love.

NASA's animated film for this mission is great (in my amateur opinion)!

Can't get it to open with my windows setup. Is there a Real Player or more uptodate version?

You could try again from the page where NASA has the film posted (right side of page):

http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/mer_main.html

Its an .rm file which I think is real media.

Got my fingers crossed, will be glued to the net tommorow. Hopefully the comet mission is a good omen.

"We have done everything humanly possible to make these missions successful. We have spent as much money as required, within reason.</b>
Good. NASA is capable of humor.
