Mars Rovers have now made theirs a 5-year mission
The Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity might not have warp drive, but they do have a 5-year mission under their belts. As of this week, Spirit has passed the 5-year mark of operation on the Martian surface. MSNBC has a great story on this including a shot of a new panoramic shot released by NASA.
As I’ve mentioned before, this mission is the prime example of how unmanned missions should be run and the teams responsible for this astounding success story deserve every laurel we can throw their way. Excellent work, folks!
