A moment's silence for yet another brave, lonely spirit, who soldiered on years beyond our asking, before falling to the inevitable fate that awaits us all, so that we may better understand our place in the Universe. Ladies and Gentlemen, the last panorama taken by the Martian Rover Spirit - http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110530.htmlFarewell, gentle soul, farewell.

I hate to anthropomorphise technology, but I genuinely feel a little sorry for the little guy.
I'm accepting donations for a mission to collect and return his little robot corpse for a proper burial, btw.

I'm sorry, but like Alex I really feel for Spirit. Especially having read that cartoon.

What about poor Opportunity? Shouldn't we get 'him' too? *checks Wikipedia* He's still going! He's doing a much better job than Spirit.

reminds me of that transformers film where a similar device "died" and the last thing it saw was an alien, so nasa are prob lying to the world as they prob saw aliens as its last thing and wanted the whole thing covered up so they make excuse that it somehow ran out of power and thats where the idea was put in that film, the same film where they insist pyramids were also built by aliens somewhat teaching kids the wrong "facts" _________________

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Each of the rovers carries a picture of a Lego minifig. One just died.

+2 Yeah, maybe there was only one seat available for the ride home; helluva incentive.
