I don't know if you have been following the Mars Rovers, particularly
Spirit, but it has just lost drive to its right front wheel. Also, winter
is settling in where Spirit has been exploring, and it (she) is currently
running for a hillside to optimize its (her) ability to capture sunlight and
stay alive. The link below is a dramatic view of Spirit's recent exploits
around a volcanic remnant called "home plate." Spirit will be heading to a
nearby hillside after an attempt to reach the distant McCool hill met with
too much sandy terrain.
