Spirit Dies?

[tw]

Things are getting grim on Mars. A rover that cannot move can no longer perform science its instruments were designed to perform.

Extrication drives were tried on sols 2138, 2140 and 2142 (Jan. 7, 9 and 11, 2010). Each of these drives employed a new technique of steering the wheels back and forth before driving. … However, even with these new techniques, little forward progress has been achieved. And excessive sinkage continues to occur with each attempt.
Both the right-front and right-rear wheel continue to be non-functional.

It just does not have enough horsepower to get out of a place called Troy.

Dude, stop being so negative. This thing lived how many years longer than it was expected to? It should be celebrated. It was a huge success. But every mission must end.

Its only negative if you are. Stated was a prediction based in facts. Nothing more.

Now to see negative, classicman just posted another cheap shot attack on Obama and other honest people. He even takes every oppurtunity to brag about the size of his penis - because he can put it in his mouth. See. That is what a negative post looks like - when it is also accurate.

Of the two Rovers, Spirit has been a hard luck story - even when it was in development. Spirit has been operating with a defective front right wheel. Failure of its rear right wheel may be its demise. Nothing but facts.

I brag about the size of my penis because I can put it in my mouth?

All the bold indicate negatives - glatt is 100% correct.

Cheapshots and wackoman. Synonymous. Another reality with no emotion connotations. It just is.
