    Martian rover Spirit due for 10 meter service.

    Having completed a trouble-free 9.95 meters, the Mars rover Spirit has failed to reply to mission control.

    Analysts suspect NASA of omitting to include an inflatable Jiffy Lube in the mission specifications.

    I think everything'll be OK, once the Martians decide to put Spirit back together, after they've stolen our ideas for a rover they're planning on sending to Earth.

    oh well, it was only a few trillion gazillion dollars wasted, no big deal! At least this time they remembered to focus the lens.

    we really need to send a person to mars. Not so much to explore, but just to fix all the robots that keep breaking down there.

    NASA engineers first became aware the issue when the images of the Martian landscape from the pancam started to resemble hot young girls who like to spread them. For some of the engineers the new pictures were even more interesting than Martian rocks
    Heeheehee...

    i think all the rovers and robots up there have started their own cociety and have gotten self aware. if we get up there, we'll end up in a matrix...

    no, what do think causes all these rovers and missions to go wrong at mars? it seems no mission has been able to do anyting properly. im sure there r martians who just jump around behind the camera and then break everything. just like hurricane said, theyll send it back here again.

    Spirit's likely up on blocks by now and covered with graffiti. Welcome to Mars, punk. Nice rims.
