Cool.
I especially like the remark by the writer: "Water is essential for life as we know it." I must have fallen asleep during that part of bio in HS.

...unexpected winds and warmer-than-expected weather have allowed them to operate for so long.

Yep, they have global warming. The Martian polar ice caps are melting. All those Martian SUV's don't you know!

Ok, Ok, I'll say it.
Bush's fault.

"The scientists think Victoria Crater is the kind of geological formation that can tell them a great deal about Mars's history..."Yeah, after Congress puts up another 10 billion dollars.
Oh, I'm such a cynic...I feel so ashamed...

Water is essential for life as we know it.
All that effort and money in their desperation to prove that evolution is possible. Memo to the evolutionists: It ain't.
I love space exploration, and the success of the rovers, but spending billions to focus on Darwin's fantasies is a waste.
To: Paladin2
Ouch! But, in fairness... That wasn't hardware, it was 'yer basic brane fart'.

It isn't about evolution. Its about planet history. Even if we found some micro-organism it would do little for the evolution argument.
If you are looking for evolution its right under your nose (and maybe even inside of it).

Technology includes software (at least according to Bill Gates and those guys getting "one-click" business patents).
Also note that logic can be done in (specific) hardware, partly done in hardware and partly in s/w, or "all" in s/w on a GP computer.

That's a big crater compared to the ones we've seen so far.

More than 900 days later, however, both robotic explorers are going strong
Besides, one of the mission managers is kinda cute.
