The thunderstorm caused garbage in the up link and evidently the programnmers (that never make mistakes) as some think didn't think of that possibility<-- what if the robot or sky link can't handle some types of garbage IN...

It was captured by Martians, who are now holding it for ransom.

It just took the Martian HAZMAT response team a while to locate it. They were busy with the Beagle. It was very tasty, but not very filling. Thanks for the second serving. And the marshmallows that came with it made a nice dessert.

Does it have an auto reboot system if it does not hear from earth? Well, the HAL9000 computer is supposed to have an auto reboot....
Reboot the Rover, HAL....

"There is not one single fault that explains this," Theisinger said, adding that mission scientists had worked throughout the night on scenarios ranging from a major power failure to a software or memory corruption. This may require a more dependable, known reliable Rover system for the next mission.
