uuuuu, thanks, deep! i had missed this somehow.
i followed the mars rovers real closely for months.
http://marsrover.nasa.gov/home/index.htmlthis is fascinating to me. thanks for reminding me.
i don't get to look at them near as much now, but they are still chugging along, years after they were supposed to have quit working. i am amazed at how smart (some) people are, to do these kinds of things. i'm not sure i'm of the same species. ha!
