Martian Lander
What's up with the lander(s) on Mars?
I've not received a lot of info yet, but have heard something about them unpacking some kind of robot or arm or something not so long ago.

Re:>"Spirit and Opportunity"
Yeah, that's them.
/quote from above link/ The twin rovers landed on Mars in January 2004, 45 months ago, on missions originally planned to last 90 days
Simply amazing! The tech industry keeps getting us more for less. Not that 'planned obsolescence' at all.
What about the geography, I mean in general, for what part of planet, for whatever. I am sure they had many good recommendations, what did we end up with? Definitely not suck much in liquid, but I thought one was like having to navigate some crater.
With all them 'stones' in the picture, not knowing the size, has there ever been talk of one earlybird build something like a road for the next one? (or something ... almost want to ask now about refueling, a place to stop to tank up before the fuel costs soar more)
Side quesiton: why Mars? For awhile it was thought we could not get much out of Mars, or as much as we could from Moons further out, such that our own moon should have more preference in the closeness, proximity, if for nothing more than having stations for launches (which would then bypass Mars).

Better on Mars than inner planets, or any planet, whatever Pluto is. I still thought they had higher expectations fo finding 'life' on distant moons, just not so easy to get at and not based well upon carbon/hydro. [this won't turn out, I try, attempt to paste the pic - and assumption is that frontispiece to pdf is more artistic than representative of actual]

(my head hurts)
er if this one is near pole, where's all the ice?
(trying to right-size this crudely)

I had closed this due to receiving a Notif from Experts-Exchange.
Maybe they'd beat me to reading that the lander found ice.
At least they declared that it was water that they found (in form of ice).

I hesitate to ask, where are they, and... how about the last two, they seemed to have found some battery that kept them going on and on for long life last I heard.
