| Whew, NASA Rovers Live On March 25, 2008 3:25pm in science |
Reports saying NASA was going to leave Mars Rover Spirit to die due to budget cuts and Opportunity to have decreased exploration tasks have thankfully been disproved or rescinded making scientists and space enthusiasts breathing a sigh of relief. NASA, having to now deal with a $4 million budget cut supposedly was planning on scuddling Spirit, but according to a press release, NASA has changed their minds and are now saying that both rovers will continue to be used with no plans to turn either one off. For those of you that aren't aware, NASA has two twin rovers on Mars, Spirit and Opportunity. Both were origanlly slated for 90 day missions, both rovers are still functional with over 1400 days on the surface. The pictures and data they continue to send back are simply amazing and are of tremendous value to scientists on Earth seeking to discover more about our closest neighbor.
