Just thought I'd point out (as a departing JPL intern...) that Spirit just reached sol 2000 on Tuesday, more than five years after its original 90 sol mission.

Just thought I'd point out (as a departing JPL intern...) that Spirit just reached sol 2000 on Tuesday, more than five years after its original 90 sol mission. Even though it is still stuck (Free Spirit!), it's still performing useful science, as is its twin Opportunity on the other side of the planet. Great rovers and a great team at JPL who build and keep them running. I can't wait to see MSL touch down in a couple years.
