Scientists say goodbye to Spirit rover.
".... engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge near downtown Los Angeles sent their final commands to Spirit early Wednesday morning, more than a year after the rover made its last transmission to Earth."
Instead of being sad I'd like to suggest going to the NASA
Mars 3D Images site and downloading some 3D views of Mars made by the rovers. And, yes, you will need a pair of those 3D glasses.
For those with two, or three, monitors you can use a free program (
*),
DisplayFusion, to stretch it across your monitors for a fantastic "view out the window". Then just
hide icons on desktop.
* - They do have a more feature packed "Pro" version, but the free one is more than good enough.
