NASA Deep Space 1 Mission Is Over

Posted by timothy on from the slip-slidin'-away dept.

Ashran writes "The Nasa DS1 site has the blurb: 'With highly successful primary, extended, and hyperextended missions behind it, the Deep Space 1 mission is over. The spacecraft continues to function, but engineers held a bittersweet retirement party for the veteran explorer today. The guest of honor was, of course, unable to attend because of travel commitments.'"

    I just wanted to get a story posted and since most stories on slashdot are either really old or dupes I thought I'll try it with this one ;)

    No honestly I didnt notice it was a year old and I should have listened to the voices inside my head screaming "DEJA VU" .. and not write it off as some wierd Acid flashback /winke
