Waking up to "One More Time" by The Real McCoy, Spirit completed a successful, 2 millimeter-deep grind (.08 inches) into a target slightly left of the depression it made yestersol during its abbreviated operation. A five-minute brush to clean the hole followed.

They forgot to describe the hole-cleaning music...

Completing the sol, which ended at 8:31 p.m. Wednesday, March 03, Spirit's arm then switched instruments so the Moessbauer spectrometer could examine "Humphrey's" new shallow cavity.

...and the arm-switching music...

Before this sol's four-hour grinding, the microscopic imager and the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer finished observations of yestersol's rock abrasion tool depression.

...and the X-ray spectrometer finishing music.

They're slipping up! We demand full return on our tax dollars! We demand full disclosure!

We demand the names of the hidden tunes!

Argh.

If I hear "woke up to" or "wake-up music was" one more time, I'm going out behind the barn and ... vomiting.

(I was gonna say, "and shooting to hell some old [fill in the blanks from someone's junkheap]", but I clearly have more repect for earthly junkheap "machinery" than NASA does for the taxpayers' intelligence.)

Earth to NASA: save the "Sesame Street Version" narrative for Sesame Street!

PFTHPTH!!!

Totally agree with you about the silly music. Hopefully they don't actually transmit the music to Mars. It's even worse when they are force feeding these music selections to live astronauts on the shuttle. I wonder if it's in the astronaut contract that they can't complain.
