Mars Rovers Still Going Strong, Mission Extended
Loconut1389 writes "The Mars rovers' missions have been extended from 90 days to about 250 and have been upgraded with some new software to give them extended single run distances as well as other features. Yahoo has a similar article, also at Reuters.
I think it's great that these initially plagued robots are doing more than expected and are still going strong, mostly thanks to engineers figuring out how to make the most of the software and hardware onboard and figuring out how to diagnose an unfunctioning, unresponding machine millions of miles away. The whole project amazes me and I'm happy for NASA to be getting some good news for a change."
africa's far to screwed up to be economicly worth saving them. i think the best way to go about this is to conquer africa call it america 2 and start mass shipping of wallmarts and suv's thier.
Call it a flaimbait, but: If you don't know the difference between "to" and "too", or how to spell "economically" or "there" you're not entitled to have much of an opinion on anything. Sorry. You make me ashamed to be an American
