Spirit will resume examination of a rock nicknamed Adirondack later this week and possibly move on to a lighter-colored rock by week's end. Good, good news! 'Way to go, NASA!

Thanks for posting this. It is good to know that Spirit is recovering and will be soon discharged to go back to work.

Maybe the rover will find Osama Ben Laden hiding there.

Hopefully we'll get to the point soon where we can produce and ship one of these rovers for $50 million or less a unit. There's still a lot of Red Planet to explore. (And the outer moons beyond.)It's too bad the ESA didn't just buy a third MER for their operations. It wouldn't have cost that much more than the Beagle2 and would have had a better chance of success. IMHO, they tried to go their own way for political reasons and paid the price.

My first hard drive, A Tall Grass( I thnk ), was connected to a 1982 IBM 8086 plain vanilla PC. I needed to format a floppy and "typoed" Format and formatted that hard drive! Gasp. It was a short time later that the next version of DOS changed the format syntax so that you had to specify the drive to format so that DOS would not do what I had done!!!!
To: Young Werther
Thankfully, I didn't get to experience such DOS incidents.
But I have experienced Win95's famous blue screen for 'absolutely no reason at all.'

I upgraded to 98 for just that blankety blank reason. Then the "fatal error" nemisis dogged me until I upgraded to XP.
It's been a long grind from my first Apple II to Apple III to IBM and the many clones over the last 20 years but notwithdtanding the upgrade grind, I sure don't wanna go back!!
To: Phil V.
Very Cool! Thanks Phil!
