Stuck Mars Rover About to Die?
January 5, 2010—Built to rove for 90 days, Spirit has lasted six years on Mars. But now it's stuck and may lose power by May. Even standing still, though, Spirit can do a surprising amount of science, NASA says.
They should redneck it and hook the other rover up to the spirit and pull it out!
@john johnny Do you realy think that we can get to mars in a regular rocket?
So if yourbaby is given 90 days form birth, you should be happy it reaches 6 ?
Why didnt they build the rover with a hydraulic lift-jack or plate to lift it when stuck, or better yet three corner jacks that rise and shift to move the wheels.
@Richard SchillerWhy didn't you design the damn thing, sounds like you're a genious
