Spirit and Opportunity have outstripped the Energizer Bunny, and the Starship Enterprise.
They are now travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead ...
