You said it so well, i had to quote you, just to have it said one more timeCalliArcale":13opmk8m said:I went for "Yes" because I'm feeling optimistic, and because this mission has so vastly exceeded expectations already. ;-) But the reality is, of course, that we can't tell. And NASA doesn't seem quite so optimistic. The good news is that Spirit did get bogged down in a very scientifically interesting place, so if it does get stuck for good, the mission isn't over yet.
