PHANTASM Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 The Mars Rover Spirit is stuck in the sand of Mars. It will run out of power as dust covers its solar panels and cease to function. It could be activated someday if the dust is ever blown off, but it may be damaged by then. I find this quite sad. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/01/100105-mars-rover-six-video.html Quote

Livyatan Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 It was bound to happen. With absolutely no way of cleaning them off ourselves, it is only a matter of time until the sands of Mars claim its first visitors from Earth. Quote
