Hi all,

Just came across this interesting piece. Sounds like NASA has a problem brewing. wink

"Spirit has been displaying some anomalous behavior," said Project Manager John Callas, who noted the rover's unsuccessful attempts to flip itself over and otherwise damage its scientific instruments. "And the thousand or so daily messages of 'STILL NO WATER' really point to a crisis of purpose."

I've hated Mars myself for some time now. What a waste of resources! Lets go to Europa dagnabbit! At least there they've got a hot tub.
