Will Rovers Outlast Lavery's Shirt???

[Daniel Brim]

At the Southern California Regional, Dave said that there was a 20% chance that they'd lose a rover in the martian winter of 2008 and an 80% chance that they'd lose one in the winter of 2012. That is simply amazing! Way to go NASA!

I've never owned a shirt for 8 years, mainly because that is half of my life

Well, then, surely Spirit will outlast both Opportunity and Dave's shirt. After all, Dave's FIRST experience has to tell him that if the vision system isn't working, and your main method of scoring doesn't work, then you play defense. And those that play defense seem to build for defense.

Then again, I can't say for sure. I'll bet NASA does one sweet T-shirt.
