Mars Curse

There's a long string of failed probes and such to Mars. NASA's latest update suggests that Spirit might be doomed to the same fate. I can only hope this is a temporary glitch and that Opportunity lands with the same success as its twin. And when we do get to Mars one day, it will be very interesting to see the remnants of all those probes and rovers and try to figure out What Went Wrong. I can see it now: And astronaut bounds into Gusev Crater, investigates, replaces a 9 volt battery, and Spirit is up and running again.
