Spirit and Opportunity have easily provided the best bang-for-the-buck of any space mission ever (even as much as I prefer manned missions).

Could you imagine standing there and literally seeing, in person, an empty and utterly alien planet?

It’s amazing our little robot has trucked along for so long. This, clearly, is a huge success for the team that put the original mission together! Way to go Opportunity! Be safe out there in the red expanses of Mars

Would you care to elaborate Oh King of Interesting things and money management?

Are you sure “Timex” isn’t stamped on the rover somewhere? It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

I love the thought that we are out there and our devices continue to provide good information after five years of service.

Space exploration is always interesting. But what would be more interesting than space dust is actual evidence of alien intelligent life forms. Can’t wait for that to happen.
