Another one bites the red dust
So apparently the Spirit Rover has lost contact with Earth. In doing so, it follows in the footsteps of its cheaper travelling partner, Beagle 2, and just about every Mars mission before. You have to wonder about their planetary defence system, it seems far better organised than anything we've got. There is, incidentally, at least one Mars rover blog, which has quite cool photos.
Still, Opportunity gets a go next, maybe it'll have more luck. Of course, if you believe everything you read in the papers, in 10 years time, the first earthlings will be visiting Mars. Cool.
