This from the Associated Press: "Scientists plan to put one of the twin Mars rovers to sleep and limit the activities of the other robot to fulfill a NASA order to cut $4 million from the program's budget."
Mars rover Spirit, we hardly knew ye. :-(
Update: Again, from the Associated Press, "NASA is saying Tuesday that it has rescinded a letter that recommended budget cuts in the Mars Rover program to cover the cost of a next-generation rover on the Red Planet."
Yay! Welcome back, Spirit! And keep on truckin! :-)
