dewline: Exclamation: "Hear, Hear!" (celebration)
[personal profile] dewline

Mike Norton reminded me over on Facebook that we have an anniversary to celebrate in space exploration today: the tenth anniversary of the landing of the rover Spirit on Mars!

Spirit was expected to last six months before shutting down. But as of today, it's still operational. Here's a virtual salute to the team that built that rover (far better than anyone knew, to our continued joy!) and everyone who's worked with it in the years since then!

I've seen the XKCD cartoon. I'd love to see a follow-up.
