I hate be an I-told-you-so after the fact kind of person, but the dilly-dallying the first few days really bothered me. When you have a remote craft the possibility of unexpected failure is way up there. They should have gotten off the lander right away and used the RAT grinder as soon as possible. The fear of the air bag obstruction was way overrated and they wasted about three days on that. If the craft does indeed fail completely, I hope that Opprtunity will be dispatched and put to work a lot quicker next week.

Gray aliens from the Mars base must have snagged it. Yeah, that's the ticket. ;)

NASA should do what liberals do when the going gets tough. Give up and quit! Seriously, now we have an excuse to send a man there. To fix it!
To: traumer
Is it still under warranty?

It sounds like they may have uploaded bad data to it.
Considering it apparently failed immediately after they sent new commands to it.

ROTFLMAO, too, especially at the series thoughts of sending any more space junk (or people) there.
Typical government program. Let's throw more taxpayer money at it! (Maybe the nth time is the charm.)

(Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary. You have the right to be wrong.)
To: traumer
I bet they wish they hadn't waited so long sitting on the lander. Now we may never know if that was a patch of mud near the lander.
