I wonder if the Beagle2 crashed into it?

[Bush Cheney]

I wonder what happened. Everything was working "Optimal" up until this. Hmmmmm.

Batteries stopped charging?

NASA Unable to Communicate with Mars Rover

Rover is from Mars, NASA is from Venus?

I think this problem occurred about thirty seconds after someone bragged about the thing running on Java.

It's the dreaded BSOD!!!!

[RightWhale]

Several possibilities. One was faulty memory, bad chip. Another was a bad line of code. Another was it might have fallen into a water-filled sinkhole with only the antenna sticking out. Or maybe a Mars dog felt the need to mark its territory.

ClassDefNotFound Exception?

NullPointException?

[commish]

Buffer overrun?

I'm with you. A Martian pulled out a wire. Ever notice how many Martian landers "fail"?

[JOAT]

It just took the Martian HAZMAT response team a while to locate it. They were busy with the Beagle.

Well, thank God we discovered there are rocks on Mars before we lost contact. Reddish-brown rocks, brownish-red rocks, big rocks, small rocks, rocks of many shapes. And all this at a cost to taxpayers of $847,064,933,528,719,406,637,182. More or less.

Next for NASA: a new flavor of Tang!

Well there is another thread here somewhere from this morning that had a link to a website that shows a picture from the Spirit. Supposedly this was a picture of a DUNE BUGGY.......... Maybe he's been hijacked...........

When in doubt, reboot.

Hummmmmmm...

Do you by chance have a relative who goes by the ID of "from occupied ga?" If so, ask him to name the three guys he says Apollo 11 'landed' on the Moon?
