Re: Spirit: Whats taking a week to get off the lander?
I think the issue is that any instructions can take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes to reach the rover, so any test might take a few minutes, but reporting results takes really long. also it might be an issue in that transmission can only occour during say a 10 hour window, so only a limited amount gets done. also if they move too fast, then if they see a problem 4 minutes ahead, then they have no way to stop it since the instructions to get out of the way will get there 1 minute too late.
