I'd prefer to say "it is enjoying retirement with its toes in the sand on the beach" !!

Re: Spirit lives on!!

It's not retired, it can still dig!

Re: Spirit lives on!!

It didn't retire. It just got a better job offer, and quit to take it.

Spirit and Opportunity have outlived literally thousands of FRC robots, since they touched down around kickoff in 2004!

I think it's pretty amusing that when Spirit breaks down and can no longer do research on little rocks, NASA decides to use Spirit to research the largest rock it can find, the core of Mars. :D
