Mars Rover Starts its 9th Year

Go Opportunity!

A worthy symbol of our technological culture.

It's probably out of warranty now.

So much for planned obsolescence.

The most remarkable discovery of the mission however is that in the entire 20+ mile journey, not a single Starbuck's was seen. Scientists have no explanation for this phenomenon.

I have a car like that, I made up my mind 5 years ago that when it died I'll get a new one......, I'm still driving it.

A very expensive way to look at a bunch of rocks, go money wasters.

thats a very uninformed opinion, and a poor one at that.

Our past lunar missions, there is a good chance that what was developed for that save your life or someone you know.

This is no different, but because its not put in front of your nose, you don't know any better. But there's no law against being ignorant.

No, and apparently there is no law against being profligate with other people's money.

another poor opinion, and to think people thought your good for nothing

Nice little research example RVZ717

probably should have references, but

An example is

The polymer on a Kirby Vacuum cleaner hose is a direct decendant of the space tech. The polymer was developed to avoid a puncture from a micro meteor.

Google "Everyday things invented by the space program" for an overwhelming list of references, and better examples.

I could list examples all day long...
