Re: Spirit Rover End of Life?
I don't know why, but for some reason this newspaper from Tennessee is reprinting a JPL press release from five years ago. The Spirit rover shut down in 2010, and we stopped trying to contact her long ago. The Opportunity and Curiosity rovers continue on (currently at Sol 4217 and 1184, respectively).
