Woo hoo! This is awesome news! I recall hearing talk that the rover had been lost! It's great to hear that it wasn't.
More info at the Nasa site.

The "Beagle 2" from Britian was lost. It landed christmas day, and no signal has been recieved. Very sad.
The "Spirit landed today, and another NASA rover will land on the other side of Mars later this month. Very exciting stuff. [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img] [ 01-05-2004, 07:52 AM: Message edited by: LordKathen ]
