NASA to Mars rover: Phone home or else.


The space agency said it will reach out to contact the Mars rover Spirit a final time Wednesday after a series of unanswered attempts.


NASA speculates that an extreme Martian winter may have frozen the rover’s communication apparatus or weakened its energy level, hindering its ability to communicate.


In a press release Tuesday, NASA said, in essence, "What we have here is a failure to communicate."


"We no longer believe there is a realistic probability of hearing from Spirit," Dave Lavery, NASA’s program executive for solar system exploration, said in the release.

That's about the saddest comic I ever read...
:laugh2: I thought the same thing so why am I laughing?

Roll over and play dead, Rover, maybe they'll send you a digital bone.
 
Why do I hear the poor thing talking with Johnny Five's voice from Short Circuit when they unplug it and it cries to Stephanie?
