Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: I want to be a Mars Rover!

[quote name="laudablepuss"]<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/09/22/mars.rovers.ap/index.html">They extended the mission again.</a> Can they make it until Martian spring? That'd be another 80 days or so. So maybe not. But I'm pretty impressed with them so far. Viking lived for something like 5 years, Sojourner beat it's life expectancy by a factor of 12 or 13. When they actually get stuff on the planet, JPL does a pretty good job. <a href="http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/home/index.html">Check out the pretty pictures.</a>[/quote]
