Re: NASA Concludes Attempts to Contact Mars Rover Spirit
I understand the amazement in how well it performed. Anytime something lasts that much longer then it was supposed to, that is amazing. Even more so given how complex it must be and that the operating conditions were hardly known. I'm still struggling with the contributions it provided throughout its life. Anyone know what its biggest success was for us other then simply surviving? Not trying to be a downer, I just want to rejoice too.
