Remember Mars?

I've been going to the jpl site everyday. Very cool how they fixed Spirit so fast. I was suprised no one was posting about it either. Where's AP when you need him?
 
There has been a lack of discussion on mars recently. Perhaps the Spirit glitch dampened peoples' enthusiasm. Noted on today's pics that Spirit set a new record for the longest single remote drive on another planet - 21.2 meters!
 
If they find a hammer imbedded in rock - then I'll be amazed!
 
I have been going to JPL every day too. I find the whole thing fascinating. Had to dig deep in the dusty storage boxes for my old pair of 3D glasses.

I marvel that I can sit at home, turn on my computer, download an image which travelled 34.6 million miles from Mars and view it in 3D.

Amazing.
 
Been visiting the jpl site, and using the best shots for my desktop.

I'm thrilled. When Spirit went down, I groaned: Not again! Not so quickly!
I'm actually amazed with happiness that it's working again. Or is it happy with amazement? Amazementally happified?

Robotics, three cheers!
