Spirit 'Will Be Perfect Again'

G. Holst writes "NASA technicians are preparing to wipe Spirit's flash memory clean of science and engineering files that have stymied its software. The fix, likely to be made Friday, could completely restore Spirit. "I think it will be perfect again," says the Mission Manager. Chalk this one up for earth!" There are numerous stories about Spirit and Mars: one describes being careful with rm -rf. Reader Tablizer sends in an interesting site: "I discovered Bill Momsen's website where he describes his experiences working on the first successful photographic mission to another planet: Mariner IV to Mars."

    Sorry, Schernau's Law tells us that your post has no value, that you probably use AOL, own an X-box, and are as bad as the trolls, since you used the word 'puter' in your post.

    My law says you sound like a little bitch with taped-together glasses who keeps getting beaten up too much. How does it feel to have yourself become the TROLL???
