Not a good time to be fighting over who gets to use the deep space network!

And look what I got this week:

Hi,

Thank you for sending us your message of support. It's nice to know that there are a lot of people out there enthusiastic about following the progress of the mission. Hope you have a chance to tune in for the second one this Saturday!

By the way, if you go to mars.jpl.nasa.gov, you'll be able to download 3d images from the rover mission.

Wayne

He sent it after I emailed him the link to our thread last time!

Maybe the husband of the ladyrover he was carousing with found him and beat him up.

Almost feel like Rover is "alive" and that we should pray or something!

I know what you mean. We all seem to get kind of attached to the little things.

Imagine what the scientists must feel like. I saw a show on the building of the Rovers and one guy was just about crying when the delivery rocket lifted off. He said something like "I'm never going to see it again, and I'm really going to miss it".

Has anyone questioned the leather goddesses of Phobos? They might not like golf carts on Mars.

You have to be a computer game player from WAY back to understand that comment.
